Step Into a Retro Nightmare in This Story-Driven Psychological Horror Adventure

Dive into HopBound, a story-driven psychological horror game set inside the surreal mind of Mayumi—a recluse forced to confront the ghosts of her past through an unsettling retro world. Blending 16-bit horror platformer stages with endless-runner challenges, this atmospheric journey delivers gorgeous pixel art, dream-like dread, and the creeping sense that something sinister lurks behind the screen.

Built with nostalgic 90s handheld aesthetics and designed for fans of immersive narrative games, HopBound offers a haunting standalone continuation of the DERE EVIL EXE universe. Perfect for players seeking tense retro horror, emotional storytelling, and eerie pixel-art exploration, it also appeals to those searching for long-tail experiences like “best psychological horror game on mobile,” “retro pixel horror story game,” and “narrative endless runner with dark themes.”
