Queer as Folk Horror continues as we trade flowers for cakes for workmen in the point-and-click adventure, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow developed by Shaun Aitcheson of Cloak and Dagger Games. We discuss Victorian pants-wearing heroine, Thomasina (Samantha Beart, aka Karlach), as we navigate the moors and discover the truth that lies beneath the titular barrow (and answer the question "what's a barrow?").
How's your head, Ms. Bateman?
