What players say
It's a fun idea even though the execution is sloppy. It has a lot of problems, the first being that the game requires a code to unlock a plugin that you don't actually even need except to hear some of the audio. The code is only four digits so I brute forced it and all the audio worked fine except the audio to test it. Deliberate attempt by the developer to mess with the player? Possible, but that's what's cool...

While this isn't the greatest horror platformer it's worth playing. The dev put in real effort
Damn, that was boring. i though the dere exe game was some very good horror game with all the vid that i saw but that just a boring platformer, most of the time hard for nothing, the scare feel very "cheap" and not that great, its almost all the time the same things. i don't recommend.
