How it feels

A slow, contemplative puzzle game where you methodically fill grids as a long worm, with a strange, quiet world and odd inhabitants.

What players say

Players describe The Wormaid as a short, relaxing puzzle game about filling spaces, with a calming harp soundtrack and witty dialogue. The puzzles start simple but can get challenging, though the game remains frustration-free with unlimited undo. Most finish in about one to two hours, and a few reviewers note the story includes a jarring Bible reference amid otherwise Greek mythos.
