Barrow Hill The Dark Path is a point and click adventure and sequel to Barrow Hill Curse of the Ancient Circle, The Dark Path was created ten years after the original game. The game does follow the events of the first, and even opens with a similar filmed scene like the original, only with the radio host now talking about the events of the first game. Graphics have been improved and it is nice to see subtitles this time around and clearer voices. As you play the game you will receive video calls from a woman, like the opening, these are done with real video and are awkward looking. Gameplay wise the movement arrows have been improved and feel more natural. It's a simple point and click adventure, you will find items and have to choose the correct thing in the environment for the item to interact with but there will also be puzzles that might require you to listen to or read information or do things like flip the right switches to give a device the right amount of power. In addition to items you will also find notes that flesh out the story or give you useful information. The game has a potentially odd path through it where you might do things early and then get told to do them later or you might be told information you already know or that is no longer relevant. Graphics are improved but still aren't that good and when there is music it also isn't very good or fitting. Voice acting is better and clearer but it just never sounds how the characters should for the situation, which is also a problem in the writing. I'd say the game is an improvement on the original, even being much longer, but I don't see much positives for this series or things that aren't done better elsewhere.
