Summary

The Adventures in Terror - British Horror Collection features three epic UK-developed horror adventure games, that have raised the bar for all that followed in their footsteps, bundled in one content rich collector’s edition package: Dark Fall: The Journal Classic Edition, Dark Fall: Lights Out The Director’s Cut Edition and Barrow Hill. The Collection will also contain the games’ combined soundtrack CD with a spine chilling spooky score, and will be offered in a luxury slipcase packaging.

The Dark Fall special editions contain many new additional features such as new graphics and effects, new puzzles and an enhanced story, boardgame, new spooks and thrills with more ghostly encounters, as well as new additional music and sound to bring the game world even more to life.

The Collection also includes the official Companions for the games. These Companions will contain the full walkthroughs, introduction by the creators, hints and tips, easter eggs, maps, historic background information on the games’ stories and many other extras!

In Dark Fall: The Journal, you come across the old, abandoned train station at Dowerton, which hides a history of disappearances, mystery and hauntings.

The nearby villagers believe the place is haunted by the souls who were ‘taken’ that last night. Many decades passed, until your arrival. You must explore the old Station and Hotel with nothing but your wits, and bravery, to guide you. Your skills as a Ghost-Hunter will determine whether you solve the mystery, and discover the truth behind the Dark Fall.

Then there's Dark Fall: Lights Out. Three men once manned the lighthouse on Fetch Rock, but they vanished without trace on New Year, 1900. No-one knows what really happened to those three poor souls, and no-one is brave enough to stay in the lighthouse, alone, after dark. Except you...travel to Fetch Rock Island, and discover what really happened...

Only by jumping through time, from the ancient Bronze Age to a futuristic research base, will you be able to uncover what is really happening on fetch Rock. Was your arrival upon the Island, that foggy night, really coincidence, or is someone, or something calling to you, across time.

Finally, there's Barrow Hill. Somewhere deep within the woods of Cornwall County, England, a timeless force is stirring. Unseen beneath the ancient burial mound, known locally as Barrow Hill, a forgotten myth awakens. Following in the footsteps of the well-known archaeologist Conrad Morse, you will discover that the barrow is more than just a collection of standing stones. Something sinister awaits from within.

Experience a detailed and immersive storyline set during the Autumn Equinox, where you will have just one night to unravel a sinister plot using real archaeological techniques. Explore the well-worn pathways across the country side, seek clues in almost forgotten shrines and experience the ancient forces which exist in the stone monument known as Barrow Hill. But remember, not all secrets of the past should be unravelled, for some things should be left buried and undisturbed...
