Ana, do you know if Bracken Tor and Wychwood will be adventure games? I ask because within Dark Path, which I am enjoying more than an ominously promised free hug, on the RBH website there is mention of HOGs. Oh, say it isn't so, Matt Clark.

They are pure adventures as is Dark Path. I don't know who said it's a HOG, but they clearly aren't playing it! lol

If you look at the websites on the laptop in Barrow Quoit, you can click on the one for Radio Barrow Hill and find the information on HOGs.

A web search for "Barrow Quoit" only finds this thread.

However I see nothing there about any Barrow Hill game being a "HOG" or "hidden object" game.

I think you have misinterpreted something.

The Barrow Quiot is a location in the game Barrow Hill: THe Dark Path. The laptop is located there as well.
The game referred to is "Strange Mystery of the Haunted Winnebago CE" and is not real.

Yes, when I clicked on that on the laptop in the Quoit, it made me chuckle!

Yeah, thanks for the lesson, but the actual reason I asked is because, despite your hypothesis, the in game footage from The Dark Path looks just like the teaser that came for Wychwood, way back when. It's quite conceivable, given the years long, for whatever reason delay of Bracken Tor, that Matt Clark simply took what he had started to develop as his third game and turned it into his second as a way to placate those waiting for Bracken Tor.

That's what I am getting at.

Wychwood is separate and the Dark Path is a new game. THe characters from the games are intertwined though in all of them. So to answer your question, this is an entirely new game and Wychwood is still on for after Bracken Tor.

And my answers are not an hypothesis. I confirm my responses with the developers unless I say that it is in my opinion.

THe big major update was yesterday evening. I started over so I can experience in the new order of things. They changed a bit. If you aren't too inconvenienced and don't mind a restart, I'd recommend playing agsain.

Yup! That's what I did! Some things are different this time so don't be surprised if you see it a little different than your last time through.

I did not start the game over from the beginning after the large Update but I also recommend it and I will be re-playing the game from the beginning like Ana says after I finish where I am now. After the Update a few things appeared in my game that weren't there before the update.

I have finished Barrow Hill: The Dark Path. The game was cleverer than I in many places, which isn't hard to do I admit, though perhaps not as difficult as I remember the first game being. In this one a couple of times I thought I had run into glitches that weren't glitches at all but merely my own lack of patience once I gave the matter some thought. For instance, you can't

use the matches on the table in the cafe, you have to use the matches in inventory then wait
.

I hope the next winter solstice in Bracken Tor doesn't take another decade.

Also I have a question.
Click to reveal..
WW (Elsie Prestige) left messages for the journalist (Phil?) whom she must have known would come. I think the messages weren't for Mia and crew because they had nothing to do with restoring the balance previously. Did Elsie not intend to unleash Baibin? I rather think she did. Do we get an answer to this in the game?

the White Whitch wanted to help the children, especially Mia. She is the one responsible for the wishing cards on the table of the diner, because she supports the beliefs the people show towards the supernatural. And she has made her own wishes on the same spot as the others.
I don't think she has messages for the reporter/me. She is the White Whitch of the area and has a responsibily towards nature and the supernatural.
In Barrow Hill she is the one who looks after the well of St. Anneka. She is very deep into the lokal mythology and has written two leaflets with informations about it.

the note in the cafe to someone who has restored the balance before? Maybe I'm suspicious because she helped and encouraged Mia, Gus, and Ollie to do something that almost got themselves plus Emma killed. At best, Elsie is one terrible supernatural supervisor.

states in the BHR-Treath that she started to belief the supernatural after something happend 1965 at Braken Tor. She also says in an Email to Mia that her own mother was damaged or died in these events 1965 because she did not believe. And that Mia could do it better.
She's playing a dangerous game.

As for the note in the cafe:

i always assumed she is talking directly to Baibin.

Wasn't 1965

the date or around the date that Harker came and disturbed the grave? Was Harker Elsie's mother? That would make sense in terms of children choosing career paths that are the opposite of their parents' professions, particularly when Elsie's mother was injured or died or vanished because she didn't believe.I thought the note in the cafe was to PC--I think at one point Emma calls him Phil--because Emma repeatedly tells him that he has restored the balance before and can do it again. Your take is interesting because it makes the player the next Baibin (or Herne figure if the player really is male). Come to think of it, I guess a Phil could be female. I've forgotten if the earlier game discloses a gender.

8dognight, that is an interesting and very believable possibility concerning the WW and Harker. It might explain a lot.
