The Wormaid Reviews

Charming and relaxing puzzle game. The harp soundtrack creates a strikingly beautiful and haunting ambiance. Set in a unique fantasy world, the artwork is simple and tasteful. The characters were all unique and endearing with witty dialogue. Some of the puzzles can be challenging, especially when you enter new areas, but all can be solved after a few tries.

Short and sweet game about finding multiple space-filling paths through a variety of interestingly-constrained rooms while enjoying pleasant conversation with a few statuesque companions and their not so statuesque King.

A relaxing and enjoyable, albeit short game. Largely simple puzzles that arent frustrating, but not a complete cakewalk either, interspersed with dialogue that has a great flow and a good dry humour to it. Definitely recommended to pick up as entertainment for a semi-long train ride or something of the sort.

This game is challenging but also very relaxing. The original harp music by the game creator creates a calming experience. A great escape!

The Wormaid is a very peculiar puzzle game. It's a bit short and most of the puzzle are not very meaningful, but they are also quite easy, so it's hard to get stuck or frustrated. Despite a couple of sections that felt a bit too long, the game is incredibly well-paced and fun to play. The story is a little bit perplexing and I am not sure if I got all of its implications, but I found the writing to be competent and very evocative, giving a good texture to every character. Together with the writing, the visuals and the music bring in a strong sense of saudade that permeates the whole game and really strikes you deep. The music, in particular, is hauntingly beautiful. Overall, I feel that it lacks a little bit of polish, but The Wormaid is a strange and strong experience that I can recommend to everyone, even people not too much into puzzle games.

excellent array of puzzles, i enjoyed them very much and wished there were more of them. the story was okay until the dev dipped a Bible reference in with all the Greek mythos, i was kind of immersed until that one instance of tone breakdown, had to walk away for a bit because i was so annoyed. tentative recommendation from me here because the graphics and the music and the puzzles are great, but if you're not absolutely sold from the screenshots alone then wait for a sale before you play it. i paid full price and don't feel cheated but YMMV.
