Comments on DERE EVIL EXE - 2D Horror Game for Android

★★★★★ kianoosh keshavarz · Aug 15, 2026
Good story for a short fun games buut the game difficulty makes it a little uncomfortable but still it worth a try
★★★★★ Faheem Muhaimin · Jul 29, 2026
Great game more polished than 1st dere EXE kara game. Level 4 wasn't that long like 1st dere EXE at 25 stage, but this game even though last stage not long but platform puzzles were much harder than I imagine. Boss battle was hard I've to fight 2 times with yanna. Lastly I get good end see dev is evil yanna & myles are ok they set fake avatar if dev try to delete. I've to admit app sir games like this really are unique platforms puzzles horror. This game has both end. I finish dere EXE 1 & 2.

Super Mario clone that doesn't want you to collect coins. Screw them coins feLLa
★★☆☆☆ L&K productions · Aug 8, 2026
The game seemed like it had a great story, so I was excited to play, but I was heavily frustrated by the constant ads and finicky controls. I understand that ads are needed and can be paid for to be skipped, but it just seemed like the ads were integrated poorly in the free to play. The controls would sometimes feel way too small or just not work all together. These controls led to a cycle where I would die due to finicky controls that would Segway into more ads. Genuinely disappointed
★☆☆☆☆ Dave Rayray · Jun 10, 2026
At least add a feature where we can change the control or make it better because I can hardly tap, why is it so cornered

Description by AppSir Games Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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.

“DERE EVIL EXE is yet another great game from AppSir we really enjoyed... 95/100” - Edamame Reviews

=======

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.

This game contains one optional in-app purchase to permanently disable ads. We recommend that users purchase this feature for a truly immersive experience.
