DERE EXE is a meta horror platformer that plays on the player's expectations and familiarity with the genre. Initially presented as a typical retro-style platformer, the game quickly reveals its true nature as a self-aware and unsettling experience. The core gameplay involves navigating increasingly difficult levels, avoiding obstacles, and collecting in-game items. However, the game frequently breaks the fourth wall, with the game's protagonist, a young girl named DERE, directly addressing the player. Glitches, visual distortions, and unsettling messages begin to appear, disrupting the gameplay and creating a sense of unease.

The horror element stems from the game's manipulation of the player's perception and trust. DERE, initially appearing innocent and vulnerable, is tormented by a malevolent entity that seems to reside within the game itself. This entity, often manifesting as corrupted code or disturbing imagery, directly targets the player, attempting to instill fear and paranoia. The game's narrative explores themes of isolation, mental instability, and the blurring lines between reality and virtuality. As the player progresses, they uncover fragments of DERE's backstory, revealing a troubled past and hinting at the reasons for her digital imprisonment. The game challenges the player to question the nature of their role and the impact of their actions on DERE's fate, ultimately delivering a disturbing and thought-provoking experience that transcends the typical platformer genre.
