60 of 110 · most liked firstEarthworms is a classic point & click adventure game. It has a supernatural/dark story. Like in other point&click games you can look at things, pick up and use stuff. you have an inventory. And of course you can talk to the people. The story begins in your office, you are a detective. A strange looking creature (looks like a tree) asks your help with finding your daughter. After that the story is getting weirder and weirder. To be honest, I didnt quite understand it, but that didn't matter for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BottomLine at the Top: There's a running trend in video games where any title that has the word Earthworm in it is going to be strange. This game is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTION! Strange P&C title that suffers from some ideas being lost in translation (literally). Pros ------------------------------------- -It's weird AF. Always a good thing in a P&C. -Paranormal investigation mystery with an unusual and unique story. -Runs in Unity engine with almost no problems. Stable gameplay (mostly).…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a quirky, offbeat and surreal point & click adventure game. There's not much to say since the game is relatively short but the visuals are topnotch and as unique as the story itself so anyone that likes the genre or interested in giving a classic style adventure game a go well... you certainly can do much worse. Just be careful and don't trip over all the wormtacles. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2498146150 Oh almost forgot to add the music is top notch and fits…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Earthworms is a really weird but cool and interesting point and click game. It has one of those stories that took directions I'd never expect but still managed to stay coherent. It was a nice mixture of sci-fi, mystery, and supernatural fantasy with some mild horror elements thrown in. The art and soundtrack are especially stunning and create an enveloping surreal atmosphere. The majority of the puzzles were logical. There's some replayability for getting each of the three endings (negative,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good-looking mystery game that starts off intriguing but quickly spirals into a pit of nonsense featuring time travel, alternate dimensions, political commentary(?), and loads of pretentiousness. Characters drop off the map without a second thought, certain quest lines don't need to be finished, and the story amounts to so little you'll be left wondering why you even bothered in the first place.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't have a huge interest in point and click titles and I don't really have much experience playing them. I just finished the game and I have to say I thought this was an interesting and positive experience and I'm glad I gave it a shot. The game has a very weird story but it kept me interested in wanting to know more. The puzzles I wouldn't say are hard but one or two times during my play through I did get stumped but eventually figured it out. I finished the game with several items in my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game. There are a couple of positives though, so let's start there before diving into the negatives. Pros - Weird, mysterious, goryesque atmosphere and events which I enjoy - Art style, which was quite fitting to the tone of the game Cons - Off-putting English translations (quite distracting) - Typos on top of that - Simplistic dialog/writing and characters - Generally weak puzzles and sometimes fairly nonsensical resolutions - Technical issues (notes…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ok but weak overall
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →saidly there where some sexist comments from the main charactor and aswell racist comment from an other charactor, which made it not fun to play anymore :/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →English translation is good, but not perfect. About 4-5 hours of play. Its.... Its intriguing, but it feels like it could have been so much more. The puzzles aren't too terribly difficult, but some of the solutions don't make sense to me. Overall its good, but it feels it stopped short, and could have been something amazing with just a bit more time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A point and click adventure, with a very classic gameplay. The atmosphere is interesting, a sort of noir detective history that meets lovecraftian themes. There is also quiet a lot of humour, often subtle one close to the style of the first Monkey Island, sometime instead is too much out of the topic. The art style is beautiful and fascinating, like a moving paint, with an interesting palette of colors. Especially the first location, the island, is incredible beautiful and fascinating. There…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know how hard it is to make a game and how easy to dislike anything just like that. It's a great achievement for the person who made this game (Wojciech Witowski), but the save system doesn't work and I just didn't like the vibe, the progression and the music of the game in general...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not recomend this game. I was looking for a good creepy simple point and click game. The atmosphere and the premise of the game are good but the exicution is poor. I really enjoy point and click games so I thought this would be perfect for me. I really like the idea of a detective that has visions to help him solve a freaky crime. I'm constantly getting stuck because the solutions aren't always logical and from popping in the forums this is a very common problem and apparently there…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: The game looks good and the soundtrack is nice. Cons: This game is very nonsensical. The translation is terrible. You will have a hard time trying to understand anything. The detective is like an edgy teenager, lame and cringy. Can't recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I almost want to ask for a refund despite only paying $0.60 for this game. I haven't even played it for 1.5 hours yet and I have encountered 2 different game breaking bugs where I had to load a previous save, because I did things in the wrong order. As a point and click game, that should never be able to happen. I shouldn't have to load a previous save just to progress, because I was too curious and clicked something before I was supposed to in the game. With the game breaking bugs, even 60…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →C- I'm always wary when games cite their influences in the first lines of the description as one of their main selling points. You have to wonder if this means it will be the work of an author who was inspired by the tone of these films and movies, or just someone who enjoyed watching them and decided to try their hand at doing something similar without fully understanding them. This game feels very much like the latter. The appeal of Donnie Darko, X Files, Twin Peaks, is not that they're…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like a big worm, I dug up the stinking soil. Earthworms is another one of those quite remarkable games that lands right in the middle. Steam really does need an orange "~" neutral recommendation. Earthworms is a surreal point and click adventure with a good art style and surprisingly good music, and decent puzzles. It has elements of several different sci-fi creations, as it says: "Donnie Darko, X Files, Stranger Things Twin Peaks." It seems like it should be a remarkable game, along the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is it? Surreal point and click adventure with minimal dialogue that keeps you on edge. Stylistically bleak, muted colours and an eerie soundtrack set the mood. What's good? The interface is minimalist and intuitive. The story is bizarre and engaging. A good length considering there are multiple endings which opens it to replayability. Puzzles are simple but interesting. I got really stuck a couple of times, but both times were due to me missing something I could interact with in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A strangely fascinating adventure game, made even weirder by the odd translations of Polish to English, which rather adds to its charm. I like the art and the music is nice, plus the story is pretty interesting. The puzzles run easy to medium. It took me 8 hours to get all three endings, mainly because I had to keep replaying some sections of the game, especially to get the good ending (which I got last). Warning: The first area of the game contains an object crucial to getting the good ending,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed this, like the atmosphere. It reminds me of Darkseed. A few little annoying issues. I felt the game was too short, only around 2 hours to finish it. Probably less because I found an annoying part where I had the solution but it wasn't working properly because my cursor wasn't perfectly in the right place. But other than that a good game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Few glitches in the game and I am yet to finish the game with the good ending. I have only been able to get a negative ending! However in saying that I liked the atmosphere and music. There are some game breaking glitches that forced me to return to my save file so i suggest save often and don't enter menus and exit them too quickly take your time to read and look at each screen before moving on. Overall I have enjoyed this game and spent about 4 hours on my first playthrough. Would recommend…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I promised myself I would write a review for every game I finished this year, but what is there to say about this strange Point & Click game? It's pretty straight forward, and by that I mean its completely bizarre in a good way. There are definitely some things lost in translation (Polish to English), but it never gets in the way of progressing. I think the most enjoyable part is the art style and the music, but other than that you're just going through the motions, you know, pointing and even…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The bad dialog is very distracting... I understand the writers first language may not be english but the dialog ruins the feel of the game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros + original and artistic cute art style + intriguing story + good background music + mostly enjoyable puzzles + there are two ending (good and bad) Cons - game could have been longer. - there are no Steam achievements - game doesn't drop cards - some puzzle solution and directions obscure and sometimes you don't know what to do next Overall this is an decent point n click puzzle game. it reminded me Machinarium, The Tiny Bang Story and Gomo. if you like these games your gonna like this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The hand drawn art is one of the things that drew me into the game, The puzzles are mostly on a casual level to solve, which is nice if you are just looking for a game to settle into to play for an afternoon. Some of the point and click areas are a bit sensitive, and it's pretty neat to have multiple endings that you can encounter depending on what you find/do in the game. Overall I enjoyed the game and would recommend it with the knowledge that it is has a few quirks, save often, be patient…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a weird game - I liked it a lot :) You should be open to weird, story driven puzzle games if you wanna play this. And in case you have doubt: The amazing soundtrack alone is worth a buy!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is weird. Essentially it's like one of those old point and click adventures. But pretty soon into the game I already got lost due to some cryptic puzzles and a lack of hints. Would still recommend, if you are good at solving not so logical puzzles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the ending has a 2y old bug https://steamcommunity.com/app/320330/discussions/0/3288067088126469875/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool ambient music mixed with unique puzzles and branching story paths in an art-deco setting? Sign me the heck up. The art, the story, and the puzzles in this game are pretty good and for the price the paths it takes you on are worth the journey itself. Beware some of the writing is a bit obtuse if your vocabulary isn't very wide-spread or English is not your first language. I do not thing the creator's first language is english either. Props to them for the effort and really unique writing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an excellent adventure with unique graphics, a powerful soundtrack, and diverse/interesting puzzles. I did hit a plot dead end that blocked me at the very end but could have avoided this by saving my game at more points in time.

Earthworms Defunct Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Wii version) All ClayFighter games River City: Tokyo Rumble Earthbound Beginnings For some of these games, if you can get them on the cheap, that's when they really start to have value.
unlabelledView post →The whole game is about Earthworm Jim entering his subconscious and facing his greatest fears. The final boss is "his feminine side", Earthworm Kim. It's extra weird when - The creator ended up transphobic - If you 100% the game you can accept and play as Kim - Earthworms are hermaphroditic
unlabelledView post →Earthworms is a handheld (Nintendo Switch)/console game that's also been put on Steam as a bit of an afterthought, as it's very much designed for the handheld/console gaming audience. It's a point and click adventure with a surrealist kind of plot that has you take on the role of a dectective who can see glimpses of the future. Explore and island searching for a girl and click around the place a lot... look, this isn't Monkey Island, and it's a somewhat old and dead genre. On the upside,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a very interesting story, but at the same time is very weird and mysterious. Perfect for fans of ponit&click/story games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Somehow, I couldn't get its vibe, despite being a fan of Donnie Darko, Twin Peaks and similar settings. I admit the atmosphere is peculiar, but I found it averall boring, disconnected, with either too easy or too repetitive puzzles. Cherry on top, when I was at about the end, a bug prevented me from proceeding. The "red card" door's pop up wouldn't close, I had to leave the game and "save" option wasn't even present in the menu at that point. I lost the last two hours of progress, and I decided…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →friend brought it for me because my username is eartworm. It was pretty weird but it had me hooked. short but sweet
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have mixed feelings about this game. Starting from the worst: well... gameplay is quite boring, story is pretty shallow and nothing unexpected happens at all. Graphics is really naive - I've expected more moody & dark climate. Riddles are... well, they don't exist :) But to be more positive: soundrack is quite good! The price is also nice, but I recommend to wait for the sale. I think this game would perfectly fit with a rainy, long and boring quiet day. It's easy and at the end of the day…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Earthworms has been the subject of a (mostly unfunny) running joke between my girlfriend and I because this game feels like it's perpetually on sale for pocket change on the Nintendo Game Store. Although, I hold favorable views toward Earthworms that joke feels like a product of its obtuse nature as well as the low profile it keeps thematically. Even in the face of unpleasant imagery the game purposely takes a subdued approach in both color pallet as well as tone. In that way the Donnie…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The atmosphere and music are dark and eerie, which was nice. The dialogue was kinda off...I'm sure it was probably translated from another language. This may not be a deal breaker for most...I was kinda put off by it but it didn't stop me from playing. What DID stop me from playing were multiple crashes. The game crashed three times at the same point, even after I restarted all the way from the beginning. I'm unsure what I can do to progress at this point, and since I was sitting on the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyable. Some small nonsensical grammar errors from being translated but nothing that ruins it. Would definitely recommend for people who enjoy simple creepy point and click games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if i watch a bunch of tape of baseball games i can then talk to other people who are the kind of people who also watch or have an encyclopedic memory of baseball games and have shared referents with those people - hey, remember that game when the Wet Noodles and the Earthworms played in 19BF

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it years ago, but did not play earlier since i'm used to games with Steam achievements. But gave it a try not so long time ago, really enjoyed it! I got every ending, game is not long so it was not tiresome but it's not too easy either. Interesting plot, loved chilling soundtrack and *distressing* atmosphere. If Earthworms will get Steam achievements, definitely will reinstall it and play again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The nicest thing to say about this game is that it has a really distinct, beautifully rendered art style, and an interesting world. The least nice thing to say is that it is buggy, confusing, poorly translated, not that well programmed and not that fun to play because of that. It really feels like the artist went all-out whilst the programmer/game designer held themselves back and left much unpolished. I think I missed a few things because I made some choices that couldn't be undone,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most interesting games I ever played one steam. Puzzles are sometimes straight up impossible to solve but most of the time they are suprisingly captivading, Story is pretty original and insteresting but translation makes it kinda hard to understand, especially later parts of the game melted my mind with all the sudden twists and oddly worded texts that doesn't even properly explains half of the things going on. I can't really explain but mc is also pretty weird, my english isn't good…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful artwork, creepy score, interesting sci-fi tale. The tone/feel is reminiscent of Lynch, Cronenberg, or Henenlotter. There is no voiceover work, but it's not necessary anyway, and the English translation is hilarious in some parts. Great value at $0.59. Solid 4-6 hour game. I beat it within 5hrs with the Good ending the first time. I wish there were teleportation area/map add-ons, or a sequel to continue the storyline.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, so the game atmosphere is somewhat nice, but I was unable to get the good ending because I didn't talk again (after I solved a quest) with with the same character (with whom I just finished a conversation) at the beginning of the game (if you don't do this, you can't break a wall at the end, even if you realize you have to break it, and you have the means to break it, the game just won't let you). It was not even obvious that if you talk again with a person just after the conversation is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A strange story with lots of interesting elements. The soft visual style makes the subject matter more bearable, could be a bit gruesome otherwise. The multiple endings could be hard to figure out without a walkthrough but most of the puzzles can be figured out with a bit of time. The atmosphere is a mix of depressing and humorous, which is hard to do well but I think this story achieves it. Recommended for those who like something a little different.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent point and click adventure with great graphics, challenging puzzles, and a haunting soundtrack. Somewhat on the shorter side, but multiple endings provide more than enough incentive for extra plays.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting point'n'click title for an evening or two... with eerie yet addictive soundtrack and mysterious plot. Worth playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PROS Game is fun Story interesting Sick soundtrack Original art style Playable from touchpad CONS Some plot passages don't make sense Translation is really bad sometimes Short No achievements Game is worth a couple of dollars, don't get it if you think you're wasting money. I played games of this caliber on browsers for free; I have to say that the soundtrack is really good though, I still have it stuck in my mind a couple of days after I finished it. Also adding achievements is quite easy,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Earthworms is an atmospheric point-and-click story with unique art and chilling music. The story is a bit weaker, but it manages to keep you engaged. The puzzles range from easy peasy to wtf did I just do. The game has three endings and takes about 2-3 hours for a blind playthrough. Interesting, memorable game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting detective/puzzle/point and click game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very short and strange point and click game, with a strange investigation in strange locations and a detective with a strange sense of humor. From the very first seconds, our investigation begins strangely, but it is precisely this strange and offbeat aspect that I liked. The music and graphics perfectly reinforce the story's surreal atmosphere. It’s an adventure that blends various themes: detective story, horror, retro sci-fi, and comedy. A great mix that I would have liked to see go…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game with a great story and soundtrack. I especially liked the track playing in the base (after opening TP-01 door). Multiple endings too. Be warned if something feels like a dead end, you may be missing a key item. A couple times, there's additional dialog if its in your inventory. Really liked this game! Nice job devs!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kind of disappointing but still may be worth a try if you like point&click puzzle games. Cool story, very weird at times. Some parts are a bit boring due to the lack of caring to it and the characters but it's fine.
