[code]Curator page here-->[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/37670120/] DaRevieweD #70[/url]<-- [i]New review every Sunday[/i][/code] [b]Head Worms (HW)[/b] is Adam Jaber's/GMP games' proper debut into the horror genre. I phrase it as "proper" because his 2016 game [b]Horror in The Asylum,[/b] to which he has admitted was his self-perceived failure. Although, I can't deny/agree as I haven't had the pleasure to play the latter. I can say this much; the setting, gameplay and horror style appear to be similar... So, think of HW as his way of redeeming himself and the negative reviews he got in the past. Now, I usually have a sense for mediocre things, a gauge if you will (only 50% accurate though) and the minute I laid eyes on the game- it was telling me, don't! I even had to consult my acquaintances, the dev himself and my inner self in helping me decide! Finally, I did eventually give in and as heartbreaking as it is to say- I was right. But, not entirely... I'm still very mixed right now and in spite of it being a -ve review, it's not gamebreaking or terrible to any degree. Before you change your mind, let me at least tell you why~ [h1]"It's Just In My Head...Right!?"[…

Bear in mind I received a copy of Head Worms for free to review and stream on Twitch. [b] GAMEPLAY (7/10)[/b] The gameplay loop of Head Worms is very similar to the Amnesia series. The player has to solve somewhat complex puzzles while avoiding certain doom from a variety of looming monsters stalking them throughout the level. It feels well done. Things are not overly complex. The AI monsters seem to follow a set pattern and once you learn it they are easy to avoid, assuming you are fast enough. Overall, satisfying and engaging. [b] GRAPHICS (5/10)[/b] The graphics in this game are somewhat below-average. The game is made in Unity by a small team and graphically the game is very reminiscent of 7 Days To Die. Normally this would be a huge turn off for people, however, this isn't really an issue due to the overall tone of the game. [b] ATMOSPHERE (9/10)[/b] The atmosphere in this game is amazing and completely makes up for the lack of graphical fidelity. The devs use lighting, fog, and audio cues to create a truly creepy vibe to the levels as you try and progress. I think the most atmospheric level was the third (don't worry no spoilers.) The way I felt while being stalked through…

This game does an AMAZING job of creating an intense and scary atmosphere that keeps you scared, stressed and on your toes. It doesn't rely on jumpscares (there is one, aside from when you get caught by the monsters), but rather just keeping the atmosphere creepy through use of amazing lightning, noises, and audio cues. You keep feeling like something is watching you/ stalking you, especially when you're outside. The gameplay comprises of solving puzzles and avoiding the monsters - taking the time to work out the monster patrols and running behind them creates really intense vibes. I love it! If you're playing this solo, good luck! I played it on stream and still was a scaredy cat. Definitely a game to play if you're looking for like a scary experience.

This game is alright, but a bit too pricey for the length. get it on sale. Nice atmosphere but fairly generic when it comes to horror games, puzzles are easy solve and solutions are very clear if you read notes.

Developed by Adham Jaber and published by A4 Games LLC, Head Worms is an indie first-person survival horror game that leans heavily into psychological tension, environmental storytelling, and the constant feeling of vulnerability. Set within a sinister research facility where unethical experiments have led to horrifying consequences, the game throws players into a desperate struggle for survival. Instead of presenting a straightforward action-oriented experience, it focuses on careful exploration, stealth, and puzzle-solving while unraveling the disturbing mystery surrounding the facility and its monstrous inhabitants. The unsettling premise provides a solid foundation for a horror adventure that prioritizes suspense over spectacle. The game's greatest strength lies in its atmosphere. Every corridor, laboratory, and abandoned section of the complex contributes to an overwhelming sense of isolation and unease. Dark lighting, eerie environmental details, and unsettling audio effects work together to create an oppressive mood that rarely lets players feel comfortable. Even moments without enemies remain tense because the environment itself constantly suggests that danger could emerge…
