I fell in love with this game. The story has plenty of elements regarding memories, the passage of time, fear of death, meaning and purpose of life. It's very relatable to a lot of people, whether we realize it or not. The visuals are impressive at times, using fixed cameras, tracking cameras, and over the shoulder in combat (a fairly simple system, but interesting on its own, you take pictures of the monsters to kill them). The normal difficulty is pretty easy, generous with ammo and health items. Challenge Mode is the complete opposite, you'll feel starved for health and enemies hit much harder, I had to restart the whole game because the first boss left me with only 1 bar of health and any hit killed me, I couldn't find any healing items and couldn't progress. Another of my favorite aspects was the music, heavily atmospheric, fitting tense moments and complementing exploration, and most importantly, filled with beautiful tracks that are ingrained in my brain. A delightful experience, rich and compelling, even if combat or resource management is not its strong suit, I enjoyed it a lot and will come back in the future many times, I'm sure.
Overall, Heartworm is a mixed bag, but if you're in the target audience of classic survival-horror fans, it's worth picking up. There are some odd design decisions and the general jank you'd expect from a small indie game, but the pros do outweigh the cons. It nails the presentation and atmosphere of classic survival-horror titles, and the soundtrack is surprisingly good. I enjoyed it and will likely revisit it in the future.
As a big fan of the original PS1 Resident Evil and Silent Hill, I have been looking forward to this release for quite some time. I have to say, it does not disappoint. The director and development team obviously have a good understanding and love of those original games, but Heartworm is more than just an attempt to do the same. It's a great blend of both games (although I feel it's closer to Silent Hill than Resident Evil), but also adds some great new features not present in either of those beloved titles. The graphics are fantastic, and some of the best low-poly looking aesthetics I've ever seen. The only thing I'd love to see is a CRT/scanline filter, but it looks great even without it. Lovingly created environments are great to explore and lend a very creepy atmosphere. The gameplay is strong, although early in the game some of the puzzles are quite straight-forward most of them require a bit of pen and paper work to remember hints or are just plain interesting and thematically appropriate. Occasional duds but they are the exceptions. The music is outstanding and it's hard to believe that Mr Vincent Adinolfi was responsible for so much of this game and does such a great job across many varied fields. I can see from the credits he had some help, but I believe most of the music was his, and it is amongst the strongest features of the game overall. The save room theme could be straight out of a big budget game and not feel out of place. I've finished the game once so far, but there is a lot of content left to uncover, and they've done a great job of making me want to see more of it. Kudos to the team, if you're a fan of survival horror, you'll enjoy this. If you're not, give the demo a try, because I suspect it'll win you over anyway.
The fact this game was produced by such a small team is inspiring. Great storytelling, fantastic environments, solid combat, all inspired by Resident Evil and Silent Hill of the PSX era. If this were to get a sequel, I'd like to see a little more variety of items/weapons and maybe some more interaction with the environment and camera to add scares. Overall, very creative and fun to play, perfect length of game too.
I can only recommend this game to players that enjoy light survival horror games or artistic games, it´s not that hard or challenging. It´s somewhat of a "comfort" survival game. The puzzles are mostly easy and I only got stuck once because I overlooked one item. The "shooting" mechanics are a bit wanky when played in the "oldschool" way, so I played it with the thirdperson option which was much preciser. The best part of the game is the atmosphere, music and artstyle. This is what makes the game special for me. I really enjoyed the build up in the first hour, especially the atmosphere in the very beginning in the house, but it lost its atmosphere after that. The last part of the game safed it for me a bit again with a beautiful setting, but the bossfight at the end was kind of a letdown . Overall this whole game feels more like a love letter to survival horror games with mediocore puzzles and gameplay but a strong atmosphere in the first half and a lot of passion for the artform that can be felt in a lot of sequences e.g. the backgrounds, music and the last cutscene which kind of reminded me of older animations like "Syberia", that made me feel a bit nostalgic. Story (5/10) Gameplay (5/10) Atmosphere (7/10) Music (7/10) I would rate this game with a solid (6/10). PS: it runs really well on the steam deck, I mostly played the game on it and only noticed minor slow downs in only one area.
