Description

Archaeology meets adventure in this game set in the desolate Cornish landscape. A dig at Barrow Hill is timed with the Autumnal Equinox, but is it wise to disturb this ancient burial place during an important pagan holiday? Barrow Hill is a first-person adventure game that combines accurate archaeological exploration with adventure puzzles. The main character must uncover the mystery of Barrow Hill and learn its connection to a string of disappearances in the area… but doing so means facing what lies beneath the mound.

The title screen. The Petrol Pump attendant isn't much help. The opening FMV. The menu screen. Someone's left a journal. Making my way by foot to the motel. The first puzzle.
