Retro pixel horror platformers

If you want platformers that mess with your expectations, start with DERE EVIL EXE, DERE Vengeance and Puzzling Peaks EXE. Across these AppSir Games releases you run, jump and solve puzzles in side-view pixel levels while a strange presence talks to you, changes the rules or turns familiar obstacles into traps. The focus stays on timing, exploration and light problem solving, with the scares coming from story twists and visual distortions rather than combat alone.
