Heavy-Duty Horror Game GRINDWORM Demo Now Available on Steam

With October's Steam Next Fest just around the corner, Snail Bite is pleased to announce that the demo for its upcoming horror game, GRINDWORM, is now live on Steam and offers players a hands-on look at the game's tense gameplay and oppressive atmosphere.

GRINDWORM is a horror game built around isolation, dread, and the slow erosion of reality. You were late for your shift. Now the tunnels have collapsed, your crew is missing, and your only hope is a worn-out mining machine. Workplace safety rules no longer apply. Just remember: DON'T. STOP. DIGGING.

About the game
GRINDWORM is a horror game built around isolation, dread, and the slow erosion of reality. You were late for your shift. Now the tunnels have collapsed, your crew is missing, and your only hope is a worn-out mining machine. Workplace safety rules no longer apply. Just remember: DON'T. STOP. DIGGING.

Key Features

  • Psychological Horror Beneath the Surface: Trapped underground, you depend on a worn-down machine to keep you alive.

  • Figure It Out: No detailed instructions. No hand-holding. Survival depends on observing the machine's systems, understanding how everything works and learning from your mistakes.

  • Keep It Running: Monitor oxygen, engine temperature and other systems as you navigate the underground. It doesn't matter whether you are heading in the right direction if you run out of air.

  • The Machine Is Your Interface: In-world gauges and onboard systems provide the information you need. No floating objective markers or health bars.

  • Procedurally Generated Environment: Handcrafted locations are connected by procedurally generated stretches of unexplored mine, filled with hazards and uncertainty. You never know what the next section will bring.
