Looks excellent..I'm looking forward to it.
I am slightly confused about how the control scheme will work--the reviewer wrote something about us only being able to go left, right, forward, and backward, instead of turning on the spot like in barrow hill. Is it supposed to be some kind of HOG layout?
Not so sure I like that. But we'll see.
It's not a casual game, it's like a regular point and click.

Oh, thanks. So it is like Barrow hill then..?

Jfcwilson -- none of us here have played the game yet (at least as far as I know), but all indications are that it's an adventure game and not unlike Barrow Hill.

This -
...moorland beasts seem to vanish, into thin air...
About the game:
• Explore the desolate moorland, searching for evidence.
• Travel back in time, to The Bronze Age, to learn its secrets.
• A complete interactive world; brought to life on your PC.
• Environmental sounds and weather to heighten the experience.
• An unnerving and eerie soundtrack, to chill the blood.
• Experience virtual archaeology, and uncover the past.
• Survive beast attacks using items close at hand. Defend yourself!
• Glean clues from newspaper articles and local radio broadcasts.
• Solve a bloody murder through investigation and detection.
makes me start wondering if BT will be an action/adventure game OR a pure adventure game? I think someone (probably BET) said it's adventure when I posted, asking this question before (several months ago but had forgotten about that post)?

Cruise02 -- anything is possible, of course, since (as I mentioned above) none of us has played the game yet!
I would be very surprised if it's an action adventure. But then, sometimes I am very surprised.
I contacted Matt, I'll let you know when he answers.

Play.com has this for sale and "in stock". Does anyone know if this is true, as all the other sites have it "out of stock" or "preorder"?

I've had the game on pre-order with Play.Com for almost a year.
I've just visited the site and it is definitely NOT in stock ....

Cruise2 - I did hear back from Matt (the Developer) and he assured me that the game is pure adventure.
Regarding the Defend Yourself, gamers need not worry as Bracken Tor is NOT action/adventure. During the game players defend by creating safe areas and restoring the balance, through a range of ceremony's and trials which are spread between current day and the Bronze Age.
It sounds fantastic!

You mean Oct. 28th? If that's the case, I might buy it from Amazon Tues, Nov. 1, then.
We will have the date up when it's official, as of this time, it's not official.

Just out of curiosity, I checked for Bracken Tor on both Amazon and ebay, I fond several UK sellers offering BT for sale as a pre-order, the one I selected was 29.85 AU ($29.xx US) with free shipping and handling, so again, I couldn't resist and I bought the game. It says on the ebay page that it's guaranteed to ship the day before the given release date, listed as Oct. 28, or within 20 days of the purchase date (which in my case, is Oct. 10).
The reason I sprang for the game was b/c of the free shipping involved. This doesn't happen too often for when I buy games online from Amazon/ebay/half.com.

I received an email from someone at Iceberg today. Sometime this week a press release will be shipped out regarding Bracken Tor. Apparently they are currently waiting for the German version to be translated.

Re: Bracken Tor preview - 10/31/11 06:38 PM
Thank you for that information, Ewil02 !
I've been checking every day for an update.
Did your email happen to mention any dates?
We will post the press release when it is released as always.

Hi LadyCav-
Nothing was mentioned about any dates- I'm assuming the press release will/might have that kind of info. I was just happy to get any sort of info regarding the game as I'm real anxious to play it.

Re: Bracken Tor preview - 10/31/11 07:24 PM
Thank you Ewil02 and Ana. Hopefully a definitive date will be in the press release.

Just had an e-mail from amazon UK to say the ralease as been delayed------ again.

Re: Bracken Tor preview - 11/01/11 11:43 PM
More than Iceberg does. At least twice now that there has been a delay without a change in release date on their page or as a tweet or something similar.

This is the time of tooth and claw, no longer waiting for it.

Re: Bracken Tor preview - 11/04/11 12:36 PM
I and someone else posted for info on Iceberg's Facebook page. We both got a "information coming this week" message. It is Friday, 1:30 pm local time and still no updates, so I doubt we will have that update. Anyone else hear/see anything recently?

Further delay to ‘early Q1-2012’ for the PC horror adventure Bracken Tor: The Time of Tooth and Claw.
