A mysterious adventure on the Moors

A very classic point and click game with an intruging storyline. You play as a barrow digger Thomasina Bateman, a grave digger archeologist basically, trying to find and excavate Hob's Barrow. However, this will be easier said than done... Known to be a local landmark, some of the locals seem to never have heard of it while others won't talk much of it... A darker adventure game for those looking for some suspense and mystery. You'll have to do all the classic fun point and click adventure stuff. Talking to interesting characters, collecting items and using them creatively. A strong point of the game is that the puzzles are logical and well thought out and the game will sometimes surprise you with what you think will be a simple solution that just requires a bit more thinking. All in all, a very worthwhile adventure game for people who like adventures with a darker atmosphere.

Simply incredible

The graphics, the story, the characters and setting are all great. Some funny scenes/jokes in there too. Also fantastic voice acting by Samantha Béart (Karlach) amongst others. Only drawback is that it is very short and the first two chapters are better than the third. I would have liked spending some more time exploring and conversing with the characters.

Thoroughly Recommended

As a long-time point and click enthusiast AND enjoyer of spooky stories, I have to say. They knocked it out of the park on this one. Delightfully creepy and atmospheric. If you're a fan of Lovecraftian horror, you will find something to like here.

An Exquisite Point-and-click Adventure

I've been returning to a genre I loved from childhood as of late, the humble point-and-click games. I briefly dipped my toe back in to the pool in 2009-ish, playing the Blackwell games, Darkfall, Momento Mori (nobody seems to talk about that one nowadays), and the Dracula series. Of those games, I thought the Blackwell ones had a certain naive charm that stuck with me. Skip to a few weeks ago and I've started going down the Point-and-click rabbit hole once again. I've been reading alot of threads about Wadjet Eye Games - the makers of Blackwell - and I was familiar with Gemini Rue and Shardlight, but, holy cow, have they come on leaps and bounds since the Blackwell days! I've bought nearly all of their catalogue. I was waiting for this one to come on offer, as it had a distinct charm about it that stood out as a little odd and off kilter. I will not spoil any of the story, but I want to touch on a few points. The game is a masterpiece. Beautiful voice-acting that could have been lifted straight out of a high budget TV show, very beautiful, strange, well animated pixel-art, but above all the story. It is truly unique and intriguing. The whole atmosphere of this game conjures an infectious portal into the strange world of English mythology. Barrows are mysterious things, almost like crypts or pyramids full of secret treasure, and this game covers this topic in a very organic way. The characters are deep and humanly flawed and there are some very interesting scenes going back to the protagonist's childhood. This game is breathtaking. A true piece of art that I would recommend to anyone, whether they enjoy the genre or not. 10/10!
