Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle

released on Oct 05, 2006

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…

This is my first PC game that I've ever played, no kidding. For the game made by a tiny developing team, this game is awesome. Even nowadays, it's still pretty spooky. The only problem I have with this game is that we have flying fucking stone that turns people into ash? Really?

I wondered as a kid "Why do these people sound so weird?" I never knew what being British meant.
So my siblings would scare me by intentionally triggering a scripted jump scare, so I always hated this game. Nowadays I have no clue if this any good or not. I'd be lying if I said I still didn't have bad feelings towards this game, seriously screw that jump scare.
Anyway, if you're interested in a horror adventure game, then go right ahead, and let me know if you come across that jump scare.
