If you like adventure games, folk horror, and archaeology, well, you've probably already played this. But if you haven't, you should! #archaeology
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is currently 50% off on GOG!

A bargain opportunity to play our folk horror adventure game inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man & the works of M.R. James, with a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft.

We've made a few small changes to our National 5 textbook, following some feedback. Thank you to everyone who reached out! 🙏

The new edition can be downloaded at the same place.

We've also added an answer scheme for all the questions and the mock exam. ☺️

If you like classics/Greek mythology/ancient stuff/history or know someone who does, may I humbly recommend our book as a Christmas gift?

It's full of bite-size introductions to mythological characters and concepts and the money goes to a good cause!
