Weird Horror Asset Pack

A dried-out world, strange creatures, and something unsettling beneath the surface.

Step into a world of desolate landscapes, underground mysteries, and wonderfully weird encounters. Weird Horror is a pixel art asset pack inspired by surreal and cosmic horror, created with classic top-down RPGs and dungeon crawlers in mind.

What's inside

• 2 environment tilemaps: exterior dried desert land and mountains; cave / underground interior
• Environmental props to populate both worlds
• 2 playable character designs: male and female, each with walking animations and portraits
• 1 NPC: walking animations and portrait
• 3 enemy types: in-game and battle-screen animations
• 2 battle-screen backgrounds: outdoor and indoor
• A collection of unusual items

Meet the artist: pixelpata

“I’ve been working in the gaming industry for quite a while, doing illustration and concept art mainly, but I've always wanted to work on final assets as well, and I love pixel art.”

This is Pixelpata's first pixel art asset pack! Check out @pixelpata, a home for future weird and interesting pixel art experiments.

Every asset was created directly in Aseprite, starting with the limited 8-color SLSO8 palette from Lospec.  Pixelpata worked intuitively, sketching and constantly comparing the art so the whole world felt cohesive. The original pack artwork was made without generative AI.

Influences range from the unsettling mood of Lavender Town in Pokémon to more modern horror RPGs such as Look Outside.

Make something with it

Created for The Monster Bash, a Halloween game jam celebrating original art and creative game making.

Pixelpata would love to see you ignore expectations, follow your strangest ideas and build something surprising. Maybe a desert exploration RPG, a cave mystery, or a surreal narrative experience with creatures you’ve never seen before.

Explore Bash.tv to turn your ideas and original assets into a playable experience with AI-assisted building tools.

How to start: Download the pack → start a Bash project → upload the original artwork → describe the game mechanics and story you want → iterate and share.

Example Bash prompt: “Build a top-down exploration RPG using the supplied desert and cave tilemaps, original character sprites and enemy animations. Create strange encounters, dialogue, inventory interactions and turn-based battles. Use the provided artwork as supplied; do not request new AI-generated images or modifications of this artwork.”

Give the artist credit

If you publish a project using these assets, credit @pixelpata in its public description or credits. We strongly recommend an in-game credits screen as well. If you modify an asset, acknowledge that it was adapted from Dudu’s original artwork.

Copyable Bash prompt: “Add a Credits section to the main menu or end screen. Include ‘Original pixel art by @pixelpata’ and link to https://www.instagram.com/pixelpata/ if supported."
