The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is a Point & Click Adventure and it feels like one of these older Movies. This feeling comes from the Artstyle, the Time it is set in and also the way the scenes switch in between each other.

When it comes to the style of the game, you could think of older Point & Click Adventure and when i look on the Minimum settings on Steam it comes with a resolution of 640x360. But it's not only about the resolution. You could also make high res pictures animate them and scale the resolution to it, but here it seems always handdrawn.
Which gives the game huge points in charme, if you ask me.

But you still have some more advanced techniques here, that i don't want to miss out and this is the fully narrated lines. In older games, you might've only a few lines, that where spoken, but often you had to read through all the text.

Storywise what you can see in this Video is, that your Maincharacter Thomasina Bateman is a Grave Robber... i mean a "Barrow Digger". She got letters from Leonard Shoulder who invites you to investigate Hob's Barrow.
So your first goal is to go to the meeting place, where you can talk to the locals there. You try to kill some time and wait for Mr. Shoulder to arrive.
