The Good: Atmospheric graphics and environmental sounds. Not one linear way to gather all the clues. Interesting info on the Cornish legends throughout the game. Logical riddles. Decent difficulty level.

The Bad: It's easy to miss important clues because of the point and click system. Some voice overs are mediocre. It is too short, therefor not suitable for hardcore gamers.

Overall: If you want to spend an hour before going to bed with a game that will make you forget your everyday problems by sucking you in its world then Barrow Hill is the game for you. It is amazing how it can send chills down your spine even if you play in a static environment. You know that you can not die in this game and yet you are constantly worried.
