Mmmm loads of fun, scary, not too difficult but certainly a lights out game!! Have taken to getting up at 4am so I get some quiet gaming time, whilst it is still dark!! Non-linear but there are triggers to certain events.

Play, enjoy and continue the adventure!!!!

I just started Barrow Hill and I love this game. It is spooky and when walking around you never know what you may bump into. It is a game that keeps you to play more each time. I too find that I was up to wee hours in the morning playing this game. I jumped a couple times into this game I knew it would then for some reason you tend to forget then your heart gets to pounding. If you like mysteries this is it. thumbsup

It's very well done, isn't it? I've been playing it in the dark with my headphones on. Not that far into it yet, but already jumped out of my chair... praise

I too played the game in the early hours. There must be something about the story that inspires nocturnal adventuring.

I think so too, for those of you who play the game again --- don't be so sure that some of the clues will remain the same. ---- They won't. Well done, Mr Clark.

Hi all,

It's lovely to follow your routes through the game, and the progress so far. I thought I'd pop by to let you know that the website will be re-launching on Monday (24th) and will feature a lot of new extras, including an interactive map of the 'real' Barrow Hill, a full demo and gameplay trailer. Along with some other goodies, and fun oddments.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi JB,

Yes, this is an indie game. You can order it from Matt's website here . I think you will have to wait until Monday to be able to order it though. It's a great game!

Did you see the poster from Fetchrock Lighthouse? Nice touch!
Johnboy, this is really fun - another one to BAAG, for sure!

I noticed that too Nickie. Did the bird pictures look familiar to anyone? I think they are in Room 2, they reminded me of the pictures in DarkFall 2 that you clicked on at the beginning. It's been a long time since I played it so I can't remember for sure.

Ooh, that could be, Steph! It's been too long for me to remember clearly. Was anyone reminded of one of the Zork games with Ben opening the blind on the door? Or was that just another brain cell exploding? laugh

LOL, that Jonathan Boakes really gets around! He's even in Scratches (well, besides the voice acting that is!)

There's a few surreal connections between both Dark Fall's and Barrow Hill, and even Scratches it seems! How wonderful.

Maybe there's a secret plan to tie all things together, like some complex Da Vinci style codex for adventure games. Perhaps if you arrange the game boxes in a certain fashion you will discover a map to a secret cave, filled with adventure gaming goodies; The Cave of Superior BAAGings.

Should anyone find themselves wandering around Fetch rock in 2004, you'll find the books are printed by the 'Barrow Hill' press (I hope they didn't cut down any of the trees!), and the location is featured on one of the maps in the 1912 setting. Surreal, and spooky!

It's been fun trying to spot the Dark Fall references. This one doesn't have anything to do with Dark Fall, but did anyone notice the face in one of the walls of the ruins. Made me jump the first time I noticed it.

So far I am still waiting for this game to arrive, I pre-order a while back and was one of the 100 winners...Am I the only one, who still haven't received this game?
