Womb of Worms
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.
