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!
