But some didn’t!

You don’t want to dig up Hob’s Barrow.
And yet, you are compelled to.

I think what I like about it most is that it’s a puzzle game with leeway.
Plus there’s a naughty cat.
A furries dream, essentially, although to be scrub the game does not approach the topic at all.
Mostly this involves bodging with found items that broadly match the qualities you’d need for a tool.
You don’t have duct tape, but stamps are also sticky, or plasters.

I don’t want to spoil stuff, but we get into some transhumanist territory.
It’s a trip, and one I think a lot of people might have missed out on.
