From DreadXP:
Blending the spirit of the survival horror classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill with modern gameplay options, Heartworm tells a deeply personal story through pre-rendered and in-game cutscenes, classic and mind-bending puzzle-solving, and limited but meaningful, tense combat using a camera as your weapon to fend off what lies ahead. Originally launched on PC in July of 2025, Heartworm has become a cult classic among its growing community.
In Heartworm, players are invited to step into a world where memories and mourning blur the lines between reality and supernatural visions. Follow Sam, a young woman overcome with grief after the passing of her beloved grandfather, as her quest for closure leads her into a deep rabbit hole of online forums - and ultimately to a remote haunted house up in the mountains.
What begins as a desperate attempt to reconnect with the past quickly spirals into something more sinister and inexplicable, as she pushes deeper into the unknown armed with only a camera and her determination to venture further.
Featuring optional tank controls, PSX-style visuals and retro effects, you can tailor the experience to make it feel like it’s straight out of the late '90s, or scale back the nostalgia a little bit for a more modern experience.
An original soundtrack and evocative environments guide you through 4-6 hours of exploration, tension and discovery, with multiple endings waiting on the other side.
