I don't think the White Witch is the daughter of Agatha D-H. The Emailaccout belongs to WhiteWicca1952, so we can assume, she was born in 1952. What corresponds with the pictures we see. In 1965 she must have been 13 years old and Agatha never mentioned a little daughter (or a daughter at all) in her diary. In one Email the White Witch mentions Agatha D-H and shows great despite.
I read the messages the White Witch left at the cafe once more. You are right, she wants us/the journalist to help restore Baibins treasures. She even talks in an Emai to Mia that Baibin needs her treasures restored. How could i not seen this before!

Never mind. It just loaded. Looking forward to playing it!
I purchased the new Barrow Hill game last week while it was on sale. I haven't used Steam in quite awhile and the game is taking forever to load and install. A box on my screen says "updating Steam" and this has been going on for about ten minutes. Is this normal since I haven't used Steam for awhile?
Thanks!

Yes, it is completely normal. Once you get past the updates, you should be good to go.

Thanks, Draclvr. Seagul, I do think there is a distinct possibility Elsie is Harker's daughter. For all we know, Harker could have had three or four children all safely lodging with the vicar in St Awful or tucked away in boarding school and having a better time of it than they would have had with a globe trotting, glory seeking mom more concerned with the monetary worth of a find than its scientific or historical value. That said, I got a kick out of Harker's journal, loved the photos (Was that someone in drag as Harker?) and loved how much clout Harker clearly had with the Royal Society. She must have been something of a celebrity archaeologist, not at all the type to be bothered by leaving her children with the grandps for years on end. I quite liked Harker with her Bronze Age pelf around her neck and her nose in the air. "Kids, what kids? Oh, those. Yes, must remember to write after Christmas and see if their camel ever arrived from Cairo. Perhaps the Pony Club will refrain from fussing if Elsie has a nonregulation mount." If taxed about leaving Elsie to the care of others, Harker would have sniffed and said, "Winston's moral compass was his nanny. Pass the cucumber sandwiches, there's a dear."

I like this scenario. Perhaps you have the basis for a new game with the characters! So many possibilities...

Is this the game Wychwood Hollow? It looks similar to the future game of same name. They must have renamed it. Ana already answered that question on the previous page of this thread. Post #1084026 ... This one comes before Bracken Tor. It is the fall solstice and Bracken Tor is the winter solstice. Wychwood would fall after Bracken Tor. Post #1084138 ... Wychwood is separate and the Dark Path is a new game. THe characters from the games are intertwined though in all of them. So to answer your question, this is an entirely new game and Wychwood is still on for after Bracken Tor.
And my answers are not an hypothesis. I confirm my responses with the developers unless I say that it is in my opinion.

Hi Marie, 5-8 was easy enough. I deduced 2,3,4 were together. It's the first one - burning of leaflet that I went through inserting in between 2-4 by trial and error.
As for the grave thing - that was straightforward. You have the list of grave things inserted in Agatha's journal plus the rolled up drawing of the location of those 4. See the walkthrough for pics of both of them.

I LOVED The Dark Path and once it was fully patched, it was a great game.

I thought The Dark Path was excellent and a worthy sequel to Barrow Hill. I just finished yesterday and I'm sad it's over. Ana

There will be Mad, I posted that a few posts above. Yes, I had seen that post, BrownEyedTigre, but an alternative seller doesn't always mean an alternative to Steam. I've been caught by that in the past - so I was trying to make sure Hi BrownEyedTigre  Just wondering if you will be posting at Gameboomers if and when a non-Steam version is made available ?? [I've been checking the Shadow Tor Shop but not seen anything yet.] Cheers. Mad

I'm glad you said in the STEAM sense of DRM-free frazap because Steam releases are certainly not in the TRUE sense DRM free !! Depends on ones own definition of DRM-free I guess. Some games are truly DRM-free once installed via the STEAM client. That is, the folder containing the installed game may be transfered to another hard drive and even another computer and still work completely independent of STEAM. That's good enough for me, but I guess only games that depend neither on the STEAM client or registry entries in Windows work this way. But it is at least true that many games, especially adventure games, work without the client (with STEAM not even installed) once they are installed. But being forced to use the STEAM client to install the game in the first place is in those cases bad enough, I agree.
