Lighthouse Interactive announces that it has acquired the worlwide publishing rights (excluding North-America) to the adventure for the PC 'Barrow Hill', a title developed by UK based Shadow Tor Studios. The game is set for a pan-European release in October 2006. Barrow Hill is a gripping horror thriller, set in the Cornish landscape of England and told from a first person perspective. The Cornwall based developers have succeeded in transforming the local dark legends into a very immersive gaming experience. From eerie woodlands to desolate farm buildings, the game world of Barrow Hill is very much alive, and keeps the players looking over their shoulder.

...Your character arrives stranded on the lonely road during the Autumn Equinox and you have just one night to unravel a sinister plot. Explore the pathways across the country side, seek clues in almost forgotten shrines and experience the ancient forces which exist in the standing stone monument known as Barrow Hill. Following in the footsteps of the well-known archaeologist Conrad Morse, you will discover that the barrow is more than just a mound of earth and a collection of forgotten standing stones. However, not all archaeology is constructive, for some things should be left buried and undisturbed. But perhaps it is too late for that? Barrow Hill: a thrilling and creepy adventure, brought to you on DVD-Rom.
