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. It is the Autumn Equinox, when day and night are equal, exactly as they were a decade ago.
You have returned to the scene of the crime, seeking answers. Could such an event happen again? What trials and offerings await? As you leave the car behind, and step into the dark world of the old woods, you wonder whether you seek the truth, or you are following the Dark Path. Joining you on your adventure, once again, is kooky amateur late-night DJ Emma Harry.
She is worried for her teenage friend, Mia, who has been behaving suspiciously. Emma has heard rumours of rituals, ceremonies and Devil Worship near the old Barrow Hill Service Station. Could Mia be involved? She may have good reason, Mia's brother Ben was among the missing 10 years ago.
Is time repeating itself?.
Barrow Hill: The Dark Path is a competent throwback to old-school horror-themed point-and-click games. It doesn’t break any new ground, but it does its forebears proud.
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.
Satire and nostalgia are not enough to make a game good. Games should be fun, and Barrow Hill: The Dark Path is not.
