Aficionados a Lucasarts, Tomar nota: 'La excavación del túmulo de Hob’ Viene a cambiar

If we were tasked with naming the three creepiest things in the world, en orden, it would be: Pointing, clicking, and Yorkshire. Finalmente, Al final, someone has made a game with all three, y se llama The Excavation Of Hob’s Barrow. Anyone who’s ever enjoyed pointing, clicking, Yorkshire, and horrible eldritch monstrosities should be sure to check it out when it points and clicks its way onto Switch very soon.

The game takes place in 19th century England, in the remote village of Bewlay, as city girl and archaeologist Thomasina Bateman arrives to investigate a mysterious barrow (read: burial mound) out on the desolate moors. Como era de esperar, the townsfolk aren’t happy to have someone new in their village — cue a lot of Hot Fuzz-like “yer not from around ‘ere”, except in a Yorkshire accent. Thomasina has to bargain, bribe, and bother people to get permission to excavate for her (thrilling) book about England’s barrows. But she might come to rue the effort…

Hob’s Barrow was easily one of the best narrative experiences of 2022, with publishing backing from the masters of modern adventure point-and-clicks, Juegos de ojos Wadjet (Las clases de trabajo de Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin – PlayStation.Blog LATAM, Primordia, Old Skies), and now it can be one of the best narrative experiences of 2023 también, when it comes out on January 25th for the Nintendo Switch.
