I'm not sure if this "HB" project was confirmed to be a point-and-click adventure. Secrecy could mean licensed IP, one that would necessitate and all-British cast.

 

[HorribleHombre]

Nah it’s obviously Incantamentum, they probably just changed the name.

Suppose I should add two point and click adventures got released in the last couple days

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

Gigant got a steam page and a release date of next month.

This isn't bad looking, but the artstyle doesn't seem like a good fit for a horror game. Also, isn't that the AGS default font? The one from Space Quest IIRC. Pretty sure you aren't supposed to use that in a commercial title.
