Wheeled out in the UK this month.

Consumer Press Release for Immediate Release

August 2009 – Archaeology meets adventure in this adventure-style game released to retail, courtesy of Focus Multimedia. Lauded by the BBC as ‘the next best thing to sleeping in a haunted house,’ Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle is not for the faint-hearted!

This creepy tale is set in Cornwall, a land rife with myths and legends. An ancient burial mound, known locally as Barrow Hill, has been disturbed. What was unearthed during a recent archaeological dig in the Barrow? Is it the cause of human disappearances and supernatural events? You have been tasked with exploring Barrow Hill in order to unravel a sinister plot and discover exactly what happened to world-famous archaeologist Conrad Morse and his team.

Tread ancient pathways across the countryside, seek clues in almost forgotten shrines and experience the primeval forces which exist in the stone circle. Following in the footsteps of Conrad Morse, you will discover that the barrow is more than just a mound of earth and a collection of forgotten standing stones.
