Heartworm Demo Launch Trailer
Heartworm is the tale of a young woman who sets out to visit a spooky abandoned house where, supposedly, one room lets you see people you’ve lost. Don’t worry about the fact that everyone who has tried to find it has vanished. Explore, solve puzzles, get snared in something awful, fight back using a camera. It’s a good time.

Vibing in Heartworm’s save room
That’s a great safe room. Close, dark, cosy, warm. A place which makes you want to pause time and stay, reading books in the comfy chair, knowing that soon you must face the horrors outside the door but maybe you can stay here just a little longer. The music is a lovely save room tune too, friendly but haunting. And the computer you do the actual saving on (instead of, y’know, a typewriter) makes good computer beeps. What a good space. I hope to one day see it onthe Twitter account which documents safe rooms. How unfortunate that I must inevitably venture back out from here.
You can download the new Heartworm demo fromSteamandItch.io.
You might have played an early Heartworm demo on the first Haunted PS1 Demo Disc way back in 2020. The developer, Vincent Adinolfi launched a new demo in October as part of the Steam Scream Fest, and that was due to only be available during the week-long event. Well,he’s had a change of heart, so it’s sticking around. Lucky us.
No firm word yet on when the full and finished Heartworm will launch, but I’m watching.
