I recently completed The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, a folk horror point and click adventure game. The story follows you as Thomasina, a barrow digger, who carries out an excavation in Bewlay, a quintessential British folk horror village set in the moors, where the English locals don't like outsiders. As she excavates, Thomasina discovers the eldritch horror that lurk beneath the village that rendered her father, who had excavated the same site 25 years earlier, catatonic.

The sense of creeping dread is wonderful as you know Thomasina is not okay as she recalls her story in flashback, but can you save her? I won't spoil it but this is one of finest games I've played in many a year purely based on the story, however the pixel art, sound design and voice acting are also excellent.

Check out screenshots from my playthrough, below.
