About DERE EVIL EXE

DERE EVIL EXE is both a terrifying thriller with a gripping story and an unorthodox retro platformer with unique puzzles and difficult obstacles. This game is not for the faint of heart. If you choose to get DERE EVIL EXE, you can also get DERE EXE and PROTO DERE .NES, two full games, as free DLC.

Note: Please detach controllers when playing this game. This causes the left and right arrows to stick. This game DOES NOT have controller support. Unplug any and all controllers while playing this game. Use the space bar and left and right arrow keys to move.

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 and blocky hills 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.

A Game Lost In Time


Modern 2d side-scrolling horror game with levels inspired by the simplicity and aesthetics of 16-bit arcade classics of the 80s and 90s.

Melodic Madness


The game plays either catchy retro chiptune music or ominous PSX era orchestral music, depending on the situation.

Immersive Tale Of Horror


A completely new meta story that bends the creepypasta genre in ways unseen in the video game world.

A Standalone Sequel


You don't need to have played DERE EXE: Rebirth of Horror to enjoy this side-scroller game.

✦ AI summary

Players have mixed feelings about this game. Those who enjoyed it praise the polished platforming mechanics, cute pixel art style, and atmospheric horror elements, with some appreciating it as a standalone experience. However, detractors criticize it for relying on repetitive jump scares that feel cheap, having artificially difficult sections that don't add to the experience, and ultimately being a short platformer that doesn't deliver on its horror promise despite promotional material suggesting otherwise.

Damn, that was boring. i though the dere exe game was some very good horror game with all the vid that i saw but that just a boring platformer, most of the time hard for nothing, the scare feel very "cheap" and not that great, its almost all the time the same things. i don't recommend.

DERE EVIL .EXE is a striking fusion of precision platforming and psychological horror developed by Darius Immanuel Guerrero and published by AppSir Games. On the surface, it presents itself as a nostalgic side-scrolling platformer inspired by classic console games of the 16-bit era, but beneath that familiar exterior lies a deliberately unsettling experience that constantly challenges the player’s expectations. The game is not content with merely testing reflexes; it also aims to disturb, confuse, and provoke unease through its meta-narrative approach and oppressive atmosphere. The core gameplay revolves around guiding a silent knight known as Knightly through a series of hostile environments filled with traps, hazards, and corrupted enemies. Movement is tight and deliberate, demanding precise jumps, careful timing, and a strong sense of rhythm. Every mistake is punished quickly, often forcing players to replay sections until muscle memory and spatial awareness are perfected. This masocore-inspired design makes progression feel earned rather than given, and while the difficulty can be intimidating, it is carefully tuned to reward patience and persistence. Success brings a genuine …

Love this game, and the 2 DLCs that i get after buying it
Not recommended Jul 9, 2025
while the platforming itself was fine and fun, once it gets to the last boss+ after dialogue is where it drops down significantly for me the only 3 scares in the game are the same exact jumpscare copy pasted the horror ambiance that was there occasionally was good and the pixel art style is very cute i would only recommend playing this game if u were really wanting to play an extremely short platformer that u havent played before
Recommended Jan 6, 2025
This game was a lot of fun ! I played it without playing any of the "prequels" so I think it stands alone fine. One of the more polished little platformers out there, if you like mild horror. There are enough save points that it does not get frustrating (to me)
