About the Game

As a patient at an isolated mental research facility, you will have to prove your skills to survive and make it out alive as gruesome and deranged experiments have gone wrong.
Find clues, solve puzzles, hide, and survive in this grizzly first-person survival horror simulator.

Adapt or Die...Head Worms takes the player on a horror-filled adventure like no other. Use your skill and wit to navigate indoor and outdoor spaces. Combining different game styles Head Worms keeps players on their toes with a variety of spine-chilling challenges. Do you have what it takes to decipher puzzles and solve riddles while on the run from terrifying creatures?

Non-static challenges...Head Worms offers frequently changing game styles. One moment you could be testing your survival skills fending off a horrifying monster and the next moment you are putting your critical thinking to the test to solve a brain-twisting puzzle in time to avoid certain death.

Intensity stays high...While some puzzles may be forgiving on the time allotted to figure them out, other puzzles will require you to be an agile thinker in tense situations.

Don't get comfortable...It will take everything you have to survive. Use hiding spots, examine monster patterns, figure out the correct way to solve a puzzle before you try it. Don't get sloppy. The consequences can be fatal.
