DERE EVIL EXE

About This Game

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.
