DESCRIPTION
Based on ancient British folktales, Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle combines puzzle solving, archeology, rituals, and ceremonies to create a game that is full of mystery and intrigue. You begin stranded on a lonely road leading to the Barrow during the Autumn Equinox. As you explore your surroundings you learn all about the Barrow and the dangers that lurk there. It is your task to bring balance back to the Celtic world by solving a variety of enigmas and unearthing clues. A true account of some of the eerie events that surround the Barrow where one of two construction workers vanished from the area in 1967. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

“+ Logical puzzles. Quite easy to get if you pay attention to what you're reading, but satisfying to solve. I used a walkthrough only twice, first when I didn't understand how to use an item (lol) and second when I wanted to get out of cobweb-filled area as quickly as possible (arachnophobia :/).
+ Creepy enough for me.
+ Non-linear.
+ Installed and ran with no problems whatsoever (XP SP3). Didn't require the CD to play :D
- Too short.
- Clunky controls.
- Graphics were good for scenery, but people... I really could do without watching random shots of them. All characters who speak to you could do so without showing their faces. It'd be better that way IMO.
- The "Antagonist" was lulz-worthy. It looked ridiculous both in real encounters and on pictures. I couldn't take it seriously... The background music was more scary!”

“I'm interested in the story, but I bought it used and the seller didn't mention it's Polish dubbing with no subtitles... I can't understand half of what is said. :/ And it's a horrible dubbing...”

“Surprisingly good and immersive First-Person adventure, even though it can be a bit confusing. Money well spent.”
