Gabriel researches the occult history of New Orleans, and starts to uncover a conspiracy while simultaneously learning about his own family’s history with the occult.
It’s a dark, moody point-and-click adventure game about a charming writer researching a string of recent voodoo murders for his book. The game is a classic with a certain crowd.
In those stacks of self-help prescriptions and new age bibles there was another paper pulp refugee: I found the novelization of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. If I wanted books, I had to wait until the mall’s bi-monthly book fair, so I never got what was new or interesting, just what nobody else wanted.
Screenshots below.When I was about 10, the mall’s bookstore closed down and nothing opened in its place. You can have a look at the website (which spoils a few plot points, naturally) here, where you can also have a listen to the remastered main theme. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition, as it’s known, has been in development for over a year at Pinkerton Road and is due out in mid-2014 on PC, Mac, iOS, and Android… which surely makes it a 21st anniversary edition since the original came out in 1993, but oh well. It’s just not Gabriel Knight without Tim Curry. The latter of which actually worries me, considering the original game involved Tim Curry, Mark Hamill, Leah Remini, Michael Dorn, and Efrem Zimbalist Jr., amongst others. This new version appears to be a total remake, although Jane Jensen assures us that “100% of the original Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is here.” The visuals will be updated from 640×480 pixel art to 2048×1536 3D graphics, the soundtrack will be remastered by Robert Holmes (the composer for the original game), and there’ll be all-new voice recording.
