I downloaded the demo but not sure what the controls are and its a bit sticky in parts.

Hi lorrapaw,

This from the walkthrough:

Barrow Hill is point and click DVD adventure game.
The main menu has new game, load, save (during gameplay), options, credits, quit and resume (during gameplay) selections. The options menu has inventory descriptions, help and
resume game after saving selections. The main menu can be accessed at top left of screen during gameplay. There are 10 saved game slots which can be overwritten. The refresh selection is for updating the saved game list when a saved game file is added manually to the game folder.
The inventory items are seen when the cursor is moved at top or bottom of screen. The inventory items at bottom of screen are used at specific places. The items on top right of the screen can be used anywhere-anytime during gameplay.
The items placed at top middle of the screen are items that are made. Moving the cursor over an inventory shows the name of the item. Plants can be collected only when the basket is obtained.
The cursor changes to show what action can be done. If an item can be interacted with using an inventory item, the cursor changes to a hand with a tool.

Hope that helps you.

If you have tech problems with the game, best to post in Glitches for help.
