The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is being published by Wadjet Eye Games!We are thrilled to finally be able to announce this - our folk horror adventure THE EXCAVATION OF HOB'S BARROW is being published by Wadjet Eye Games! It has been truly an honour and a privilege to work with such a legendary publisher, one who counts Unavowed, Primordia, Technobabylon, Gemini Rue and Blackwell series among their catalogue of classics!

Wait, wasn't this game called INCANTAMENTUM?
Yes, it was. After discussions with various people who know what they are talking about, the consensus was that INCANTAMENTUM is a bit hard to remember/spell/pronounce for some folk. Interestingly, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow was our original working title for the game, so it was easy for us to make the switch! Rest assured nothing else about the game has changed in any way.
Working with Wadjet Eye Games means we've been able to expand and polish the game well beyond our initial hopes. The game now has full voice acting from a cast of great professional actors, and will also be coming to Mac and Linux!
You might notice the game is still referred to as INCANTAMENTUM on certain areas of Steam, with the old promo images - these might take a few days to clear away.
The game will be released later this year.
Thanks for your support!

Antiquarian Thomasina Bateman is writing a book on the barrows of England, documenting the treasures she finds buried within. When an intriguing letter summons her to the small village of Bewlay, tucked away in the remote countryside, she sets off by train with her assistant a day behind.
Upon her arrival, however, the mysterious man who summoned her is nowhere to be found. Her assistant never arrives. A stubborn landowner refuses access to the barrow, and the locals are wary of this woman who is traveling alone and (gasp!) wears trousers.
The excavation of Hob’s Barrow is off to a rocky start. And then Thomasina starts having strange dreams…

- A dark, complex and evolving storyline featuring interwoven elements from real English folklore.
- Traditional point and click adventure game puzzles and interactions, with an easy modern interface.
- A cast of intriguing characters, from suspicious villagers to sickly vicars to lordly landowners, all with their own unique stories and motives.
- A distinct folk horror tone and grounding.
- Evocative pixel-art graphics, featuring cut-scenes and engaging animations.
- A suitably atmospheric original soundtrack from David Kane, one half of the duo behind the award-winning "Football Game" soundtrack.
- Fiends in the furrows, the smell of damp soil, and a cat or two.
