As it's been for several years now, look to the indies if you're looking for a classic survival horror fix.
Heartworm continues the trend of quality indie releases in the space. Heartworm doesn't do anything groundbreaking beyond the tried and true formula, but it's a loveletter full of heart to survival horror of old. Heartworm has some of the best camera usage outside of the classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill titles.
Heartworm is a bit on the easy side, from combat, to resource management, to the puzzles. But Heartworm's plot helps make up for some of those shortcomings. A story of a young woman dealing with grief and loss of a family member. Heartworm's story is personal, sincere and full of heart.
If you're a fan of what I cover on the channel, and looking for a new survival horror experience that evokes the works of old, Heartworm's got you covered.
DISCLOSURE: I received an early review key for this video (big ups to Evolve PR).
