Unreality Seeps into Real Life: First-Person Horror oneway.exe Launches Oct. 7
A love letter to internet horror
THE INTERNET – September 18, 2025 – oneway.exe, a first-person single-player horror puzzle game where the darkest corners of the Internet become reality from Disordered Media, launches the first chapter of multiple new realities on Tuesday, Oct. 7, for PC/Mac via Steam.
Stuck inside an unfinished game created by three developers whose lives took a tragic turn, explore the haunted halls of UNTITLED.EXE to discover digital horrors underlying reality itself. Meet an ensemble cast of eight memorable characters inspired by scary internet stories as they claw into real life from digital realms beyond comprehension.
Navigate a virtual environment that simulates a full operating system, allowing interaction with applications and files just like any old, real-life computer. Explore fully realized 3D environments full of grim implications for future chapters. Fall down rabbit holes and chase the truth to come face to face with your own past — and the horrors that brought you here.
Now, what’s that sound from underneath the door? Could be a router, or a table saw, or…Spiderface. Maybe it’s Mikey’s radioactive airwaves trying to spread the rockstar’s dominion over the real world? Or, perhaps, the whispered dregs of Ophelia’s suffocating revelations uttered through a gurgling throat? Let’s hope so, for the horror of what else awaits is immeasurable.
Submerge into suffocating spheres of otherworldly influence, sleuth around environmental clues, and dig through the sentimental sediment of 7 different paths before reality becomes replaced. Find more than one way to escape from the deranged characters haunting the program’s digital halls to the tunes of an original soundtrack composed by Marcy Nabors (DELTARUNE).
“Our game is more inspired by internet culture than ‘games’ as a medium,” said Bugs Ray, Co-Founder at Disordered Media. “Being online at a young age, we wanted to make a game that pays homage to various eras of culture,” said Spider Ray, Co-Founder. “Flash animations, online forums, kids’ websites, horror videos, creepypastas — we want others to experience the feeling these sub-cultures provided, but in a new interactive way.”
oneway.exe gains sentience as the first chapter launches on PC/Mac via Steam on Tuesday, Oct. 7. For more information, visit the Disordered Media website, join the official Discord, check out the oneway.exe ARG (if you dare), and follow @disorderedgames on X/Twitter.
