About the Game

iris.exe isn’t just played — it takes over.

What begins as a harmless AI assistant terminal on your desktop slowly twists into something far darker. As you interact with IRIS, the line between game and reality blurs. Unexpected glitches, cryptic messages, and eerie moments create a psychological horror experience designed to make you question what’s real.

Features

  • Psychological horror on your own desktop – The game interacts directly with your screen for a unique, immersive experience.

  • Unpredictable fourth-wall breaks – IRIS doesn’t stay inside the window; it finds ways to reach you.

  • Atmospheric tension – Visual glitches, distorted effects, and unsettling messages build constant unease.

  • Minimalist storytelling – The story unfolds through interactions and surprises, not cutscenes.
