"Heartworm's heroine Sam navigates her grief-driven journey by seeking a portal to the afterlife, confronting grotesque memories, and battling manifestations of her pain."
"The game pays homage to '90s horror classics, yet its opaque puzzles and clunky controls create a frustrating experience for players."
Heartworm centers on Sam, who is driven by grief after her grandfather's death to seek a mysterious house rumored to contain a portal to the afterlife. This journey leads her through a surreal landscape filled with grotesque memories and monsters, all while wielding a camera that repels enemies. The game draws heavily from the aesthetic and mechanics of classic horror titles from the late '90s and early 2000s. Despite its visual strengths, Heartworm is hampered by dated puzzle design and clunky controls, which may frustrate players as they navigate its challenging environments.
