Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle 2006
Developed by Shadow Tor Studios
- Point-and-click, Adventure, Indie, Horror
Somewhere deep within the woods a timeless force is stirring. Beneath the ancient burial mound, known locally as Barrow Hill, a forgotten myth awakes. Join the adventure, and uncover the secrets of the past. The legends of the Ancient world will live again; renewed, refreshed and hungry. Time has no meaning, as the sun sets low across the landscape. Come to Barrow Hill and solve the mystery of the Druid's Circle. Stranded on the lonely road, which leads up to the Barrow, you must make your way through the trees, and darkening landscape, and out onto the Barrow itself. Following in the footsteps of the well-known archaeologist, Conrad Morse, you will discover that the barrow is more than just a mound of earth and a collection of forgotten standing stones. However, not all archaeology is constructive, for some things should be left buried and undisturbed. Perhaps it is too late for that…
