I will definitely be writing more music! I have some old stuff up on Spotify but I felt really proud of how the music for Heartworm came out so Iโ€™m looking forward to releasing more! So glad you enjoyed it

Just one question for @adinolfi.bsky.social - Are you planning on making more music in the future? Heartworm's OST hits my brain similarly to the Silent Hill OSTs, but the sombre piano notes add this unique flavour to it that I'd love to hear more of. I'm especially fond of the Save Room theme!

I started Heartworm tonight, and Iโ€™m enjoying it quite a bit. @adinolfi.bsky.social absolutely NAILED the environment design.

It runs like a charm on my Steam Deck too!

Really special game, feels so deeply intimate yet also just out of reach. Locations feel familiar and disorienting. I want anything I make to feel this personal. Please play Heartworm.

I rarely leave Steam reviews as I usually feel I've said enough on stream and social media so my community of #horror lovers know my stance on a game.

But occasionally I come across a game that leaves such an impact, I need to tell EVERYONE. Heartworm by @adinolfi.bsky.social is one of those games!
