About This Game

*Please note the current screenshots represent a proof of concept using stock images and do not represent what the art will be on release*

"It’s our history and it’s written in blood, often our own. Across nations, cultures, and continents and throughout history, we are one. That's what it means to be a margus."

Delve into the chilling narrative of 'Harrowed World: Wormwood Rising,' a haunting story penned by author Alex Burton. Within its depths, you'll uncover a spellbinding exploration of fear, guilt, and the enchantment of magic, all meticulously reimagined as a gothic-style visual novel.

While the progressing events and ultimate story resolutions elude your control, the intricacies of the world unfold through the careful selection of dialogue choices. Choose wisely to unravel captivating layers of lore and earn achievements, enriching your experience within the unfolding tale.


Estelle Robinson is a starving artist trying to make a living from her art despite her parents’ disapproval. ‘Wormwood Rising’ is her latest piece, based on a recurring dream she has been having but she’s about to learn there’s more to this dream than meets the eye. Her life changes forever after meeting a mysterious stranger, the caretaker of the art gallery that is trying to sell her painting. Will she embrace the spark inside herself, and will it burn her to do so?


A dark and twisted version of our world, where the supernatural exists just below the surface. Vampires, magical folk, and other beings exist in a constant struggle for power and influence. Through sinister cabals and insatiable corporate empires these creatures hold sway over human society.


Ordinary people live in blissful ignorance of the dark forces at work around them. Follow these supernatural beings through a grim dystopian atmosphere filled with gothic horror and a tangled web of morality where peril lurks around every corner.

Wormwood Rising is also available in an eBook format from the Harrowed World website.
