Sam, unable to move on from the death of her beloved grandfather, falls down an internet rabbit hole chasing the promise of reuniting with him.  Following the lead of a mysterious forum, she finds herself at a supposedly supernatural house in the mountain, hoping to make contact with the other side. A journey through grief and loss within retro-inspired atmospheric environments. 4-6 hours of gameplay with multiple endings Both pre-rendered and in-game cutscenes A focus on exploration with classic puzzles, and limited combat using a camera as a weapon A modern control scheme with 3rd person over-the-shoulder aiming and optional classic tank controls Optional pixelation and retro effects calling back to the first 3D console era for a more authentic experience A haunting original soundtrack Experience a psychologically-focused narrative love letter to late 90s genre staples Silent Hill and Resident Evil. 

Press reviews: “Heartworm is whip-smart, and tightly made — a real gem” RE:BIND “...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.” PCGamer
