near-perfect graphic adventure, great atmosphere, good puzzles which made me think but I never got stuck on.

lost half a star for some jank; sometimes things would change in the game world as per time passing, but only because you'd completed an unrelated task, which meant whenever you did something, you had to check all of the locations again in case something had arbitrarily changed.
Also, there's no option to heed the villagers advice and just.. not excavate the barrow for an alternate ending, which is what I would have done (and then gone back in for the real ending).
