BarrowFalls — Support

BarrowFalls teaches you as you go. The very first time you enter the realm it plays a short Tale and a How to Play guide (swipe down, or tap the close button, to skip either). In short: hold the on-screen arrows or the joystick to walk, bump a townsperson to talk, and bump a monster to begin a turn-based fight — in battle, tap a foe to target it with a spell or arrow. You can reopen How to Play any time from the title screen or the pause menu (☰ Menu).

BarrowFalls saves automatically as you play. From the title screen, tap Continue to pick your Outlander up right where you left off. “New Outlander” forges a fresh hero, and “New Game +” (after you win) replays a harder realm with the same hero.

The Tale and How to Play only open on their own the first time you enter the realm. After that they never auto-play — you’ll find both on the title screen and in the pause menu. During the intro you can skip either one by swiping down or tapping its close button.

Pause (☰ Menu) → ⚙️ Game Settings → 🎵 Audio → 🗣️ Read aloud. There you can turn narration on or off, choose what gets read, and set the voice and reading speed. The same card has Music, Sound, and Voice volume sliders and a “Play in Silent Mode” switch.

Pause → ⚙️ Game Settings → 🎮 Gameplay → Move Speed — a 1–5 dial (4 is the default; 5 is fastest, 1 is slowest).

BarrowFalls is a complete game with no ads and nothing locked behind a paywall. “Stand the Bard a Round” is an entirely optional tip jar — a friendly way to support the developer. Tips unlock nothing and remove nothing; the whole adventure is yours without spending a penny.
