The Excavation of Hob's Barrow

I have finished the game a few times over the years and I must say it remains one of my favorite ones to this date. Absolutely amazing!

It's OK - it starts well, but the puzzles become a bit too "try every item on every person and find the random fit the designer intended" for my liking, a little too Monkey Island. If you like Monkey Island I guess you'll love this.

What a tremendous leap in artistry compared to previous titles from this dev! Bleak, unsettling, and very charming. [i]The Excavation of Hob's Barrow[/i] is a much needed addition to the small catalog of folk horror games on the market and dare I say a [i]must play[/i] for fans of Lovecraftian horror.

honestly, this game is just disrespectful of the player's time story: decent but come on pixel art: occasionally beautiful gameplay: utterly bad filler: oooooh boy it's plentiful if you haven't even heard of the CONCEPT of demons or folklore or the fae etc, maybe this spooky game would rattle your bones but wow was I disappointed literally come on, I can't believe you made me do so much pointless timewasting stuff, just to railroad a completely linear story that I could have just read as a blogpost or watched in a 30 min youtube video

Really fun mystery /adventure! The VO was well done as well and the story was suitably creepy

This game is just incredible. I can't recommend it enough, specially if you're into "lovecraftian" storytelling/writing. I know it might be overused, but here it's true to it's nature and done masterfully. Just want to thank the devs for this one, a brilliant game.

Too linear for me. More running around than story and puzzles really

Una aventura gráfica de corte clásico muy bien hecha, con una gran historia, una factura técnica impresionante teniendo en cuenta que esta hecha con el AGS (adventure game studio), muy buen doblaje y muy buena jugabilidad; no tiene muchos puzzles, pero los que tiene estan bien, nada de pixel hunting, ni de tener que andar probando todo con todo para avanzar. ME HA IMPRESIONADO MUCHO, dadle una oportunidad si teneis ganas de aventura gráfica y no os asusta el pixel gordo.
