Curator Review

By 南英辯論社 June 9, 2020

“懸疑恐怖的橫版過關小品遊戲。
有些許jump scare要素，懸疑感帶入得很流暢，關卡也有一定的難度。




作者最近推出的新遊戲HopBound與前作都是這種懸疑恐怖風格，有興趣可以去玩玩看，價格也都是這種銅板價。”

5 stars – TouchArcade

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.

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.
