Where is Leonard Shoulder? Is that even his real name? Will I run into Roderick Elbow and Kneel Legjoint as well? Whose is the fresh grave in the churchyard? Will I ever be able to buy a cake? And what is this goblin-like creature doing talking about saving my father?

I have questions by the time I get to the end of a demo of The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow, the game formerly known as Incantamentum from point and click specialist Cloak and Dagger Games.

You are Thomasina Bateman, whose parents probably wanted a boy, and you are writing a book about the burial mounds of England. Invited to the Yorkshire village of Bewlay – home of England’s most remote railway station – by the mysterious Mr Shoulder to excavate the local Hob’s Barrow, you rock up at the local inn and, naturally, begin interrogating the locals.
