Unfortunately the imagery of Wiccan iconography pulled me out of the game again as it was far too Blair Witch related including the twiggy ornaments. Fans of the original game may find much here to like and a welcome sense of return. For everyone else there are far more engrossing and scary horror games waiting to chill you.

The visuals have not aged gracefully, and they make finding important objects a painful endeavour. Moving from scene to scene is also more difficult than it needs to be. These issues get in the way of the experience, and add needless frustration to the puzzle solving. Anyone that's interested in the premise should consider checking out the sequel, as it's a more refined and fun adventure game.

Honestly, if Barrow Hill: The Dark Path is for you, then there’s not much more you need to sell it to you. If you enjoyed the first Barrow Hill a decade ago and want to experience that again, the same way you experienced it then, then play this. It’s just what you want. Everyone else should just move on, this isn’t going to be what you are looking for.

About the game
It has been 10 years since the 'Barrow Hill Incident', a terrible, unsolved mystery, when several people lost their lives to the force inside the hill. No-one knows what really happened, except you. Something to do with the ancient standing stones, the old Druid Circle. It was built by pagans, millennia ago, for purposes that we can only guess at. Until now.
