Been playing some HEARTWORM by @adinolfi.bsky.social and I can confirm, camera flashes as a light source in creepy enclosed spaces is very cool and terrifying.

The camera flash "squeeee!" is perfect.
I know there are lots of games to play, but don't skip on this one!

Heartworm is Deep and Reverent Loveletter to PS1 Survival Horror โ€” The Geekly Grind Vincent Adinolfiโ€™s and DreadXPโ€™s retro survival horror Heartworm is Alice in Wonderland by way of Silent Hill.

Heartworm from @dreadxp.bsky.social was as great as I expected from the demo and my interview with @adinolfi.bsky.social and @thehangingrabbit.bsky.social last year.
Don't miss this amazing survival horror!

Thanks for playing! There is an arachnophobia mode in the full game btw, just so you know. I just can't update the demo

Mac support was something I was interested in very early on, but I have no way to support it currently so it isn't planned, sorry about that.

I really really appreciate all the support weโ€™ve gotten so during Heartwormโ€™s launch, thank you all so much.

If you can, please consider leaving even a simple review as that is the best way we can stay afloat in the steam algorithm.

thank you! I would play with the scaling/half rate shading stuff, I can try to get my exact config when i have some downtime, but it should work pretty well out of the box

Congratulations to @adinolfi.bsky.social and @dreadxp.bsky.social on the launch of ๐Ÿ“ทHeartworm!

We thought that Sam could use some help on her journey, so we gave her ๐ŸขChronos as a friend (heโ€™s here for moral support โ€ผ๏ธ).

I play on my deck for testing all the time and it runs wells. It is possible that some cutscenes dip but with some deck settings tweaks it should run great. Unfortunately we have to wait for Valve to give an official deck compatibility rating.

Heartworm is OUT NOW!

@adinolfi.bsky.social's love letter to the golden age of low-poly survival horror.

Will you be able to connect with your grandfather one last time, or will you succumb to the horrors locked away in the mountains?

Heartworm is out and I can share the digital oil portrait I painted for the house.

Thank you @adinolfi.bsky.social for trusting me to do my thing, and congrats to my indie pub pals @dreadxp.bsky.social on the launch!
