Escape from Wormwood is a psychological horror visual novel developed by NomnomNami, set in the same universe as Lonely Wolf Treat. You play as an anthropologist trapped in a strange, almost unsettling room, controlled by a rat cult… quite creepy. Yes, it’s as bizarre as you’d imagine.
Your goal isn’t just to get out. First, you have to figure out what’s going on. And that takes time. The game forces you to sit back and slowly piece the puzzle together before you can even think about escaping.
It doesn’t rely on jump scares. Not really. Instead, it focuses on atmosphere and emotionally rich storytelling. The tone is subdued, sometimes a little melancholic, and the characters—like Drop and Loam—really leave a lasting impression. If you’ve played other games in the Treat universe, you might notice some deeper connections.
The game follows a fairly classic visual novel style, so there's nothing too complicated here:
Overall, Escape from Wormwood feels more like an experience than just a game. It's quiet, slightly strange, and frankly, it will leave a lasting impression after you finish. It might not be for everyone—but if you enjoy games with compelling storylines and a touch of darkness, it's worth a try.
