Released 13 Oct 2026
CORRUPT.EXE is a neon roguelite where you play the malware. Swarm-survival action with evolving weapons, a 225-combo fusion system, and an adaptive antivirus that profiles your movement, learns your habits, and hunts you smarter every run. Infect. Evolve. Extract — or go endless.

CORRUPT.EXE has about 3 positive and 1 negative player reviews out of a total 4. We'll add a detailed breakdown here when there are more reviews.
THE SYSTEM REMEMBERS YOU.
You are not the hero. You are an intrusion — a strain of malware loose inside a hostile machine, and the antivirus is learning. It profiles your movement, predicts your dodges, adapts its pursuit mid-run, and carries everything it learned about you into the next one. Every run, the system knows you a little better. Every run, you have to become something it hasn't seen.
INFECT. Choose your strain — the regenerating WORM, the life-leeching TROJAN, the greedy RANSOM, the untouchable GHOST, the walking apocalypse LOGIC.BMB, or the speed demon OVERCLOCK— and carve through endless waves of security processes, each generation procedurally mutated.
EVOLVE. Fifteen weapons, each with five levels and an evolved form. Then it gets stupid: fuse two evolved abilities into one of 225 fusion combinations, each with its own name, color, and quirk. Fuse two primed fusions and ascend to the OMEGA tier — if you can survive long enough to build one.
UPGRADE.
SURVIVE THE PURGE. Boss-class defense programs hunt you every five minutes — a ravenous snake that rages when it feeds, a corrupted DVD logo that locks you in the arena, a blackout that swallows the screen whole. Kill the third and choose: extract with your stolen DATA, or go endless and see how deep the system goes. The fast and the bold will find things hiding past the fifteen-minute mark that we won't spoil here.
