About this game

HopBound is a story-driven psychological horror game that revolves around the surreal mind of Mayumi, a recluse who must journey through an unsettling retro game to come to terms with the ghosts of her past. Through 16-bit horror platformer stages and endless runner levels with gorgeous pixel art, she discovers that her sanity will be tested by something lurking behind the screen.

=====

NOSTALGIC VISUALS
Most of the game's stunning visuals use a palette of only four colors to evoke the retro charm of 90s handheld games.

SPINE-CHILLING AUDIO
Listen to unique ambient music that provide a sense of dream-like dread as you explore the game's sinister levels.

A STANDALONE CONTINUATION
Taking place two years after the events of DERE EVIL EXE, HopBound serves as a continuation of that story. However, users do not need to play DERE EVIL EXE to immerse themselves in HopBound's narrative experience.

HEART-POUNDING MONSTERS
Enemies from previous games are brought back to life and have evolved into new incomprehensible forms.

MULTIPLE GAME MODES
Engage in frenzied platforming in story-rich levels and test your skills in infinite runner levels tailored for people who like competing for high scores on the leaderboard.

MEANINGFUL MACHINATIONS
Going against sequel conventions, HopBound doesn't go bigger and badder for the scale of its story. Instead, the game focuses inward, resulting in a haunting yet meaningful tale.
Story-driven psychological horror action platformer game with nostalgic charm.

Damn, first of all this game might look simple at first but the story is really good, but I'll definitely comment about the bosses they're pretty hard, but not so hard if you really have perseverance to finish them, I also like one of the sneaky mechanics on one of the bosses,, the ending is pretty touching too, absolutely recommendable!.

i finish it 2 days. some puzzles are pure insanity unfair stage. I manage to cross it. but also i had fun playing it. it has chase run stage, endless run shot, boss fight, puzzle stage. i could rate 4 because of some unfair stage but rate 5 it has unique horror vibe. i even play extra stage to see both char end mayumi & irvin. anyway appsir games like this are great & dere exe series is masterpiece.

The controls are too janky. Sometimes I'll press a button, and it won't register. I can't smoothly slide between the left and right arrow keys, the character won't move properly. And sometimes, if I click just *a little bit* off the jump key, the bullet key will activate instead. In endless mode, sometimes it's difficult to differentiate between enemies and the collectables, since both share the same green-yellow color. This game has a lot of potential, but first some fixing is needed.
