“Heartworm is whip-smart, and tightly made — a real gem”


“...like the first Silent Hill right down to the tank controls with a protagonist who looks like she stepped out of the OG Tomb Raider.”


“...a nostalgic horror game...”

About This Game



Sam, crushed by the deaths of those closest to her, falls down an internet rabbit hole that promises a reunion with those she’s lost. Instead, she finds herself at a supposedly supernatural house in the mountains, hoping to find a way to make contact.



  • Classic survival horror with modern improvements
  • A compelling, emotional narrative
  • 6-8 hours of gameplay
  • Multiple endings
  • Surreal, atmospheric visuals
  • Both pre-rendered and in-game cutscenes
  • Numerous bespoke puzzles
  • Combat using a camera as the weapon
  • Multiple enemy types and unique boss fights
  • Modern controls or classic tank controls
  • 3rd person over-the-shoulder aiming
  • Toggleable pixelation and retro effects inspired by the first 3D console era
  • A beautiful and haunting soundtrack

These features combine with an emotional and psychologically-focused narrative to compose a nostalgia-charged love letter to late 90s genre progenitors Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Dino Crisis.
