About This Game

Somewhere in the heart of the Cornish woods, an ageless force is awakening. Concealed under the ancient earthworks of Barrow Hill, a long-forgotten myth rises. Following the trail of the celebrated archaeologist Conrad Morse, you will learn that the barrow is much more than a simple assembly of neglected stones. Immerse yourself in the rich and immersive narrative of this point-and-click adventure.

The ghostly Cornish landscape is vividly brought to life. Arriving on the Autumn Equinox, you have a single night to piece together a dark tale. Traverse the beaten paths across the terrain, search for hints in nearly forgotten sanctuaries, and witness the ancient energies residing within the stone monument known as Barrow Hill.
