INTERVIEW – In Conversation With Remigiusz Michalski (Burnhouse Lane, Harvester Games)

By Marty Mulrooney

Alternative Magazine Online reviewed Burnhouse Lane earlier this year, describing it as ‘a wonderful horror adventure that is quite frankly unmissable for those who loved the Devil Came Through Here trilogy.’ As a longtime fan of Harvester Games and The Cat Lady, Downfall: Redux and Lorelai, I have followed Remigiusz Michalski’s career for well over a decade now and he is yet to disappoint.

By Marty Mulrooney

The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow is a folk horror point-and-click adventure game from developer Cloak & Dagger Games, published by Wadjet Eye Games.
