A series of contrived and incredibly stupid accidents lead to Tabithia Knight (Tabby) and her friends Trixie and Nikita ending up trapped inside a barrow! When a dark presence reveals itself it is up to Tabby to get her friends out of there alive! Three Lesbians in a Barrow is inspired by my visit to West Kennet Long Barrow (where I fortunately was not trapped), but if you'd rather explore the underworld from the safety of your computer you can the game on Itch.io!
The player must explore the barrow and decide which runes to translate to gain the information they need to escape. Time is limited though, so their decision must be made wisely! Some runes are too complicated for Tabby to read, is it worth spending an action to research the language using her guide book? What other secrets and narrative threads are there to find for curious players, beyond just the runes carved in stone?
The player can forget about the runes altogether and spend their time reading a short cosmic horror book, letters left behind by a previous visitor to the barrow, playing a TTRPG or just opting to dig Nikita out of her predicament. Perhaps it'll lead to a different ending?
