Heartworm
It feels like no Steam Next Fest roundup can be truly complete without at least one retro-inspired horror game in the mix. So here’s Heartworm. It’s a—say it with me now—retro-inspired horror game that bills itself as a love letter to the likes of Resident Evil and Silent Hill. What makes Heartworm stand out is its striking environmental design that always feels somewhere between a dream and reality, as well as the unique use of a camera as a weapon. This last bit clearly has ties to the game’s larger story and themes that the demo only touches on, but it’s a great teaser for a game that horror fans should keep their eyes on.
