A narrative-driven psychological horror game that centers on the bizarre mind of Mayumi, a recluse who must navigate an eerie retro game in order to confront the ghosts of her past.
She learns that something hiding behind the screen will test her sanity through 16-bit horror platformer stages and endless runner levels with stunning pixel art.
A palette of just four colors is used in the majority of the game’s graphics to evoke the nostalgic appeal of handheld games from the 1990s.
As you explore the game’s ominous levels, listen to distinctive ambient music that evokes a sense of dreamlike dread.
HopBound is a continuation of DERE EVIL EXE, which takes place two years after its events. To fully experience HopBound’s story, though, you don’t have to play DERE EVIL EXE.
Enemies from earlier games have been revived and transformed into new, inexplicable forms.
Test your abilities in infinite runner levels designed for players who enjoy competing for high scores on the leaderboard and engage in frantic platforming in story-rich levels.
HopBound defies sequel conventions by staying true to the scope of its narrative. Rather, the game concentrates on the inside, producing an eerie but poignant story.
