About the Game

Womb of Worms is a short horror game where a terrifying ancient god manifests itself through worms and maggots, looking to be reborn through someone's body. From the developer of Orompaquenga and Equi Ungula.

You return to your hometown after receiving a letter from an old friend, uncovering a gruesome truth, one of the locals is no longer human. You will have to talk with the locals and find out who is human and who isn't, no matter who it is, in the end you will decide who dies, with a gun in hand...

At nightfall you will be able to spy on one of the suspects as you avoid the police, watch the news on TV about the worldwide chaos and worm plagues, check yourself in the mirror just in case... and sleep to move on to the next day. Nightmares may torment you too...

It is recommended to compare what the suspects say, notice patterns, strange words, and distinct behaviour.

Connect the dots, reach your own conclusions.

Features:

  • Hand drawn art.

  • Body horror and psychological horror elements.

  • Short narrative loop, meant to be played in a single session.

  • Multiple endings.

  • Several suspects to talk with and investigate.

  • Anxiety management.

  • Light exploration.

Originally created for Toasty Jam 2025, now extended as a complete experience.
