Wormwood

About

Wormwood puts you in charge of a mining town ravaged by a strange plague. You play as an Arbiter sent to contain the outbreak and uncover why it started. Your days involve issuing orders to citizens, managing resources, and making tough calls about who gets help. Every decision shifts how the infection spreads through the streets. The game blends survival management with a heavy narrative as you chase down clues hidden in the town archives. You must keep people alive long enough to find the source before the disease takes over completely. The standout feature here is how your choices ripple through the story without any hand-holding. Community ratings on Steam show players appreciate the grim tone and the way the simulation reacts to bad decisions. One user noted that watching a town crumble from poor leadership felt brutal but fair. The game runs smoothly on PC, Mac, and Linux with no multiplayer needed. It focuses on making you feel the weight of responsibility rather than offering flashy combat or endless upgrades. If you like games where the real enemy is your own bad judgment, this one fits that bill perfectly.
