Barrow Hill lands in North America
Following its independent release by developer Shadow Tor Studios in April, Barrow Hill has been well-received in the adventure community. Now the game looks to get far greater exposure, as Got Game Entertainment announced today that it plans to release the game in North America as Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle.
The first-person, slideshow-style horror adventure takes place at a mysteriously abandoned archeological dig site in the Cornish countryside on the night of the Autumn Equinox. There players will "explore well trodden pathways across the land, seek clues in almost forgotten shrines, unearth ancient artifacts, and delve into the Celtic legends which haunt the green lanes of the hill."
Got Game President Howard Horowitz summed up his impressions of the game, saying, "Unlike any other game before it, Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle offers players the opportunity to get beneath the surface of archaeology... Shadow Tor has done a great job of combining archeology and adventure, but without all that dirt."
Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle will be released in August, and will retail for $19.99 (USD). For more information about the game, be sure to read our recent review. There is also a new website created by Got Game.
