This was an incredibly interesting, well structured point and click mystery, adventure, puzzle game. You may see reviews saying they didn't like the ending, but I recommend you give it a chance. This game is tagged as horror, so keep that in mind when reviewing the game and when experiencing the ending! The dialogue options and character's were incredibly well-rounded with interesting flaws, personalities, and histories. The main character is sort of lovably out-of-touch, coming into a rural community with her guns blazing and ignorance to local superstition/culture (I say this as someone who lives in a rural community and find people like that pretty funny). Overall, I wish I could play this game again for the first time. Solid experience! About the ending: Not every story is supposed to have a happy ending. I genuinely felt like this was a fitting, open-ended way to end a tragic story. Not dissimilar to other games of the same genre (Sally Face, Little Misfortune, etc.). Just my two cents!
Loved this game! The characters were interesting and I was captivated by the story. Great voice acting, too. I found the puzzles were the right amount of challenging. Is it weird this felt like a horror cozy game? ^_^ Highly recommend Hob's Barrow for fellow horror aficionados and/or puzzle lovers.
