Plot
You play as Daniel White, a psychic detective. His visions help him solve cases. White travels to a small fishing village to find a missing teenage girl. However, it's only the beginning of a much larger story, which also involves a dangerous global conspiracy.
Mechanics
Earthworms is classic point-and-click adventure game. The gameplay involves exploring locations (34 of them in total), talking to NPCs, and gathering and using items. Sometimes you have to solve relatively simple, but still quite demanding puzzles. That's how you learn more about the story.
