About this game

DERE EVIL EXE is both a terrifying thriller with a gripping story and an unorthodox retro platformer with unique puzzles and obstacles.

In DERE EVIL EXE, you step into the tiny shoes of a silent hero named 'Knightly'. Knightly must jump, run, and manipulate environments in order to survive the heart-racing journey through a stunning pixel art world.

Within surreal structures lurk dangerous creatures known as 'corruptions'. They take the form of their creator's greatest fears. Their creepy creator, sporting a cunning visage of cheerfulness, hides in plain sight as she watches her prey fall deeper into her traps.

Ratings and reviews

Fun frustrating and creepy! The controls aren't bad but slightly frustratingly slippy but if you get used to that you can use to your advantage. Only gripe is the ending. It may sound bad, but I was so salty at the end after "deleting" them and seeing the still alive, I got a little pissed lol. But I'm not the biggest fan of no consequence endings so that's just me!

The controls for the game were absolutely frustrating for a platformer, from beginning to end, but I suppose that's kinda the point. Sometimes it feels like the directional controls were too big to accurately change directions when necessary while other times they feel too small and I end up not pressing a button at all. I also hated how colliding with a moving platform seemed to cancel my double jump sometimes. It's a fantastic game otherwise, and I highly recommend it in spite of the issues with controlling the player.

Saw all complaints about overlapping audio after finishing the game. Now I assume that's intentional and believe it's effective. SPOILER ALERT However I think there is one place where things just go wrong: after the "boss fight" where Yanna with black eyes pops out for jump scare, it got into infinite loop the first time around: Yanna just twitches on the screen. Restart the game resolved the issue. Please consider to fix this bug.
