Drac! I'm so happy for you!

You have no idea how happy for me I was too! I was just ITCHING to finish this game! It's one I would have loved to linger in and draw out as long as possible because it is such a good one, but the bugs were just too aggravating. Now I wish I would have waited to get the game until after they were all worked out. Ah, well! Just glad to have a really good adventure game to play!

I just logged on to the steame and the game and got a tiny update. So far, I can't even find the mug so haven't encountered the dread mug bug I just hope it is back Can't think of where else to look, yet.

Never mind. the game and computer crashed when I tried to run it.

The mug can only be found after
Hope you could sove the problem with the crushing computer.

Troi, does you computer meet the minimum requirement to run it?

Well, played through after starting new games 4 times, uninstalling, reinstalling, deleting saved games and having latest updates and JOY no problems or bugs anywhere. (few niggles like being able to use the crystal at two other locations-finding nothing and slight audio garbling with last two mobile phone calls.) to the developers for not throwing in the towel!!

congratulations
I marvel at you patience.
I was happy enough to be able to play through after the first update.

It took me two restarts and I don't think I could have taken a third one, let alone a fourth! I also marvel at your patience!

I am stuck in the area where a fire is in the rusted barrel. I have been in the cave where the laptop is, and the dilapidated building, by the stone pile and everywhere around it. Not sure how I got here and can't figure out how to leave. I keep going around in circles trying to get out of there I can't go up or down only to the side and then I am right back where I was. How do I get back to the gas station or anywhere but here?

Thanks!

I assume you have picked up all the items you can get in the Quoit and the room to the left of the garage and a couple of other places.

I had a hard time with the navigation too, but finally got it figured out. There is a specific item you need to pick up before you can go into the woods. Assuming you have that item, go to the stone pile (after you dismantle it) and turn left. Then turn right and go into the woods two times. Go right and when you get to the transmission tower, go left. From there you will go down the path to the phone booth and the information kiosk and the road.

Draclvr,

I went to the stone piles and turned left, then right but ended up back at the stone piles. I just keep going in a circle. Maybe I still need to pick up an item? If so, what is it? I think I was in the Quoit. Is that where the laptop is?

Update: I finally was able to pick up the torch and went into the woods. But I still can't get back to the gas station. I am in trouble because non-linear games are difficult for me ;(

Here is the OFFICIAL walkthrough for Barrow Hill the Dark Path from Shadow Tor Studios! You will need a PDF viewer to open it... Enjoy everyone http://shadowtorstudios.co.uk/thedarkpath/BarrowHill-TheDarkPath-Walkthrough.pdf

That's great, jimrh69! I'm sure lots of people will be glad to have it.

gatsbygirl, the only thing I can say is you will need to figure out how to navigate the woods as you have numerous places you will need to go to more than once. Try to look for something to help you remember where you are. There are some signs and other things that are helpful. There is even a certain tree that helped me know where I was.

Well, I finally finished the game, and, despite all the bugs etc, it was GREAT.

Doreen

Thank you for the walkthrough, jimrh69

Yes, thank you for the walkthrough.

I could not get the official walkthrough for barrow hill the dark path the link to it just comes up with an error 404 something like that. dianne

I just tried the walkthrough link above, and it works for me.

I will email you the walkthrough as a pdf file, dianne.

Marian, I can't open it either. Would you please email it to me, too. Thank you!

gatsbygirl,

Let's wait for Marian. Just in case - we also posted the official walkthrough here or check the sticky at top of the Hints page.

Thanks Draclvr. I have had a very busy few days with work and am just now trying to get back to the game. I am terrible with non-linear games but I will take your advice and try to figure out landmarks.

Thanks MaG! I could view this one so, if it is the same one that Marian mentioned, I am good to go! YAY!!! Printing it now. Thank you!

You probably don't need it now, but I emailed you the other walkthrough also, just in case.

Don't forget MaG also did a walkthrough for the game here.
