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.

A GAME LOST IN TIME
Modern 2d side-scrolling game with levels inspired by the simplicity and aesthetics of 16-bit arcade classics of the 80s and anime shows in the 90s.

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

IMMERSIVE TALE OF HORROR
A completely new meta horror story that bends the Lovecraftian creepypasta genre in ways unseen in the video game world.

A STANDALONE SEQUEL
You don't need to have played the other story-based games and visual novels in the series to enjoy this one.

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.

Graphics are good. Sound design is good. Controls are a little wonky, physics are really slippery especially riding on top of an object but it's probably intentional with one of the puzzles down the line. First scare is set up real good, rest is dulled. Story is really cheesy when you get to the end. The meta is pretty fine. Only complaints are that audio is hard to hear, annoying mandatory stopping of movement, and cheesiness.

So I know the game was suppsoed to be "buggy", but does that include the left motion button cutting out while holding it? Sometimes it would stop working mid jump.I figured it was meant to be annoying but that was just kind of dumb. That's my only complaint. Other than that a great game! Also. I lost sound of the jump animation along with aide and I figured that was in game as well but even going back to previous levels it wouldnt work. Also the pong sounds cut out as well
