Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle
Somewhere deep in the woods of Cornwall, a timeless power is awakening. Hidden in an ancient burial mound, called the Barrow Hill by the locals, a forgotten myth comes to life. Following in the footsteps of renowned archaeologist Conrad Morse, you’ll discover that the burial mound is more than just a collection of forgotten stone blocks. He will experience the detailed and immersive story for himself in this great point-and-click adventure.
The mysterious landscape of Cornwall comes to life like never before. When you arrive at the Autumnal Equinox, you have only one night to unravel the sinister story. Explore well-trodden paths across the land, search for clues in nearly forgotten shrines, and experience the ancient power that lies within the stone monument known as Barrow Hill.
Ancient Celtic monuments – stone blocks – are probably the most mysterious wonders of the ancient world. There is still a lack of satisfactory explanations of what they really are, how they were built, and who built them. A detailed and compelling story intertwines with the fate of Barrow Hill, offering potential explanations, more mysteries, and the chance to delve into archaeology like never before.
Dig deeper: Use real-life archaeological techniques and practice to unearth forgotten artifacts and immerse yourself in the Celtic legends that haunt the green surroundings of the hill. Cornwall is known as the home of many sorcerers, ancient rulers, and mythological figures. From the people of the bushes and clifftops to the beasts of Bodmin Moor. There is no place in England’s westernmost county that is not rife with folklore, magic and danger!
