Barrow Hill The Dark Path 11: Some Relief!

OK! I have at least uncovered more clues and finally solved the magic hole puzzle. 

I went back to the computer in the quoit, and found whole areas that I had not explored. In one of them there was an ad for some packets of flavored drinks—and there's also a commercial for that product on BHR radio. If you click on everything you will find a page that reveals the different flavors of the packets—each seems to have two.  Now, I know enough about clues to know that this is an important clue for later, rather like the cans of fruit juice were in the original game.

I also learned what is probably the identy of "WW." I was pretty sure I already knew, but the computer pretty much confirmed it. Also, there was a mention of Bracken Tor, the next game in the series.

And there was some footage and a few pics from the original game. Nicely placed.

However, except for the fruit drink clue, I didn't learn anything that I didn't already know.

I still couldn't finish the hidden object game. Could never find a doll.

I also finally solved the magic hole puzzle! Yes, the paper I found does have the clue. I just had to figure out how to follow the clue. Oddly, I think I had solved this puzzle much earlier just by pure chance—it's the order of items that gets us through to the Farm. I did find one other animal, however: 

Is this a turtle? Or just a shape?

Upon perusal, I think this isn't a turtle after all. It's just the shape of the puzzle parts so you'll recognize it. Well, it was nice to relieve the frustration from my last two nights, but I've already used this information.

I'm not sure if I have anything in my inventory made of tin, unless it's the trowel. I doubt that though. So I need to find something made of tin.

I also delved more deeply into the mobile phone. I read all the message threads. The only thing new was the map with some location points that I was able to zoom in on. These were the farm and the quoit, but also Emma Harry's trailer. I tried to see if a path might have opened up to that, but so far, nope.

OK. So. I have good clues for later on. I have relieved my puzzle frustration. I have the video feed going. 

I don't have anything made of tin or of gold. I don't have the eighth sim card. I don't have a possession of Mia's (why can't I use her shoe anyway??). I haven't yet found (or perhaps made) the object that is supposed to go into the pool.

Well, all of this will converge at the end if it's anything like the original game. My task now is just to keep on stumbling around, go visit all the game areas again and keep looking for stuff.

I will find something.
