Barrow Hill

[Adz.M]

This was a PC game made by Shadow Tor Studios in 2006.

This is one of the PC games I find myself playing a lot sometimes, not just because it takes place in Cornwall, but because parts of the game are heavily based on areas of the Looe Valley which is right near where I live.

The game is set in the site of Barrow Hill, which is based on real geographical locations in Cornwall, England. Forced to spend a sinister night there, you will investigate what is happening to the local people and why an archeological dig, led by professor Conrad Morse, has created so much unrest and hostility among the local community. During your exploration you will discover the local legends and superstitions, while using modern electronic devices like PDAs, GPS and metal detectors to unfold the mystery.

It is played as a classic first person "point and click" adventure, with the world being represented by pre-rendered, animated screens. The adventure is based on a non linear structure, that gives the player a lot of freedom in exploring the environment and collecting clues, letting him solve the game at his or her own pace.
