They Bleed Pixels

A game by Spooky Squid Games for PC, Mac, Linux, and Switch, originally released in 2012.
They Bleed Pixels is a game about stylish Lovecraftian asskickery at the bloody bifurcated hands of a prep school girl… and really, how often do you get to say that? Our heroine arrives late one night at the front gates of the Lafcadio Academy for Troubled Young Ladies, suitcase in tow, and wanders up the foggy pathway to the large beknockered double-doors of the institution, in an opening scene steeped in the heavy juices of Lovecraft and Argento.
