My Incantamentum is one of my long-awaited adventure games. We even included him in the list of 10 Adventure Games We Expect in 2021 , but as you have noticed, the game could not be released in 2021 🙂

I love adventure games that tell dark stories, and Incantamentum aims to create an eerie atmosphere and tell a disturbing story with highly successful pixel graphics. The game’s story is based on English folklore and contains plenty of uncanny. Think of the Midsommar or The Witch movies, we don’t like strangers; And don’t forget that kind of story, I summarized the story of Incantamentum.

With the announcement made yesterday, the name of Incantamentum has changed, which will be known as The Excavation of Hob;s Barrow from now on. The game was published by Wadjet Eye, one of the most important publishers in the adventure world.

Antique enthusiast Thomasina Bateman writes a book about Britain’s mounds and documents the treasures she finds buried in them. When an intriguing letter summons him to the small village of Bewlay, hidden in the remote countryside, he sets off by train, and a day later his assistant.

However, when he arrives in the village, he cannot find the mysterious man who summoned him. His assistant is also not coming. A stubborn landowner won’t let her into the mound, while the locals of the village are wary of this woman, who travels alone and wears pants (how?). Do you understand why I use the phrase “we don’t like strangers” in the abstract?

The new trailer is also great, by the way:

The Excavation of Hob;s Barrow will be released later this year.
