This may be a platformer game, but horror platformers are nothing new. Little Nightmares is a prime example of this! And pixel art can be quite an underutilized horror tool, I feel. Mr. Hopp's Playhouse does a great job at utilizing that aspect. Heck, even the newest FNAF game accomplished it! Five Nights At Freddy's: Into the Pit. This game does have an adorable atmosphere, but it’s rumored to have some unexpected eerie moments. Is it enough to call it a horror game? Join me as I explore its bright, playful design and see if it hides any true frights beneath the surface!
