The Excavation of Hob's Barrow

Only buy this game if it is on sale, not worth the $15 right now. ***SPOILERS AHEAD*** I hate putting "no" as not recommending a game. This game is not awful but like most point and click mysteries, they always end up being possession/demon type stories. The beginning sets up the story really nice, the voice acting is phenomenal but there is a lot going on, and most things that happen never reveal why they were happening. It was like they were just throwing in things to make the character struggle. What happened to her assistant? What was the point of the cats? Why was the Goblin trying to help, was he even real? Maybe I did not pay attention well enough. During Act 2 they just had a lot of running Thomasina back and forth and I became bored with it, hoping the story would make up for the lack of creativity, but no. I like a good horror ending, but this game just comes up short.

Hard to recommand this one. It would desserve a "meh", but I will go to negative review. The qualities are just overwhelmed by the defaults. The story is intriguing, but [spoiler] will let you down at the climax [/spoiler]. The moors atmophere are very well depicted and atmospheric, but well, they are pretty much empty, with plenty of screens with almost no interactions (and no use). Thanks God, there's a map to teleport. 95 % of the game is about wandering in the neighbourhood, for many petty tasks, divided in smaller quests. Your adventure will be interrupted a dozen time by tiny flashbacks (mainly useless and repetitive). The last segment simply don't stand the promise of the game. Too long to build the story, too little to deliver. If you are sure to not play the game : [spoiler] you will never seen what lay in the basement of the excavation. It will be only described by a text that is supposed to call for your imagination in a Lovecraftian way. And that's the climax![/spoiler]

Krásná adventura v geniálním prostředí zapadlé anglické vesničky uprostřed vřesovišť a močálů, kde perfektní atmosféru dotváří skvělý voiceover a pasující hudba. Sympatická hrdinka a emotivní příběh s vyšperkovaným finále. Poslední třetina dá sice trochu zabrat mozkovým závitům, párkrát jsem se zasekl, ale užil jsem si to na plné koule.

Hyvä adventure peli. grafiikat, tunnelma, musiikki ja äiininäytteleminen oli aivan nappiin. peli ei ole kauhean pitkä ja puzzlet ovat loogisia toki jokseenkin todella helppoja. kaupunki johon peli sijoittuu oli lumoava omalla häiritsevällä tavallaan. suosittelen.

谜题质量一般，剧情略显沉闷，经典的克系作死调查员主打一个不听劝，时不时幻视神秘园，我负责经验丰富 来都来了 不听劝阻 轻装上阵 队友不见 独自一人 灯油耗尽 没有备用。 优点是质量优秀的像素美术和有地区特色的全配音，两块钱一个的cdkey要啥自行车。

Jogo incrível, história muito boa e que te prende.

游戏的乡村民俗恐怖氛围营造得很好，解谜难度中等但后期的字谜有些难度，可惜最后是坏结局
