Creaworm
SteamStart a small but charming journey as a bookworm lost in a sequence of magical labyrinths. The language is the key to moving forward.
As you explore the twisting corridors, you will find scattered words. With your help the lost words will find a new purpose.
Key Features
Word Alchemy: Look out for hidden words, learn their connections..
Maze Exploration: Navigate through levels, collect loot, and look for hidden treasure.
Short & Compact: A small indie experience to be completed in one or two hours.
Gameplay Experience
Journey through the labyrinths: You choose your own pace. You can rush straight toward the exit, or uncover every possible passage and explore every corner of the maze. You may purchase upgrades and improvements to make your journey more comfortable and faster, but this is entirely optional.
Magical gates: At the end of each labyrinth, you must assemble a pattern of words to open the magical gates and move on to the next level. The connection between these words is not always obvious; it is based on images and sensations. Trust your intuition — or simply guess the correct combination.
Replayability: Each new playthrough generates a new labyrinth, so every run follows a different path. The magical words you can find in the maze are also reshuffled at the start of a new game. As a result, while the overall logic remains the same, a second playthrough will never be exactly like the first.
Surprises and achievements: Despite the game’s small size and simplicity, it contains several surprises for attentive and patient players. If you are not afraid of spoilers, you can explore the game’s list of achievements (although secret achievements will still need to be discovered on your own).
