  HIGH A unique take on the genre. Some unusual locales. LOW Nasty stuttering often occurs in the late game. WTF Sharp-eyed explorers will spot a neat Resident Evil Easter egg.

  Heartworm is another top notch indie horror to add to the collection and one that perhaps feels the closest to the games that clearly influence it.

  A haunting tribute to PS1-era horror—slow, stylish, and sincere. Heartworm favors atmosphere over action, delivering an emotional journey that lingers long after the credits roll.

  A Flawed but Engaging Horror Adventure In the end, Heartworm is an ambitious retro survival horror game that gets the fundamentals right.

  Heartworm is a short but sweet journey to the past of the early survival horror games that dominated the PSX era.
