Check Out This Folk Horror Adventure Inspired by The Wicker Man & Twin Peaks

If you love the atmosphere of rural Victorian England and can't help but fall for all these folk horror narrative-driven adventures, let me introduce to you The Excavation of Hob's Barrow.

Inspired by The Wicker Man and the works of M.R. James, as well as "a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft", the game delves into the story of antiquarian Thomasina Bateman, who embarks on a research expedition to uncover the hidden treasures buried within the English barrows.

As Thomasina arrives in a small village to excavate the barrows, she keeps facing different obstacles.

Here are some features

• Dark, complex, and evolving storyline rooted in real English folklore elements;
• Classic point-and-click gameplay with a user-friendly modern interface;
• Diverse and mysterious characters including villagers, vicars, and landowners each with their own stories;
• Authentic folk horror atmosphere and setting;
• Pixel-art visuals with captivating animations and cut-scenes;
• Eerie themes such as fiends in the furrows, the scent of damp soil, and mysterious feline companions.

The game was launched in 2022, so you don't have to wait to play it. You can find it on Steam.
