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.

This is the best worst dere game. At its best, this game presents a peak for this series in platforming, story, and aesthetic cohesion. At its worst, it presents some brutally unfair sequences, particularly the very hit-or-miss quality of the boss fights, as well as a tacked-on endless running section that just feels like a barrier to more ammo. This is still much better than most mobile platformers, but I don't think it's quite up to the extremely high bar set by the other games in this series.

Game was going great, minor issues aside, until the dere quest 3 section. I have no idea how to proceed, and it feels ridiculously long. This wouldn't be an issue, but the monster chasing you is so much faster than you that you need to pretty much get through each wall perfectly. I think this section should be toned down/shortened slightly in a future update.

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!.
