Just in time for Halloween, one of the greatest murder/mystery with just a dash of southern gothic horror titles, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers has been released for PC platforms in a special 20th Anniversary edition.
Who Needs Realism When You Have FIRE BULLETS? Hands On With Lara Croft
The new version of Jane Jensen's classic Sierra game brings the voodoo-infused New Orleans of Gabriel Knight to a new generation. The graphics have been updated, the 'still to this day incredible score' has been remastered by original composer Robert Holmes. New puzzles and a wealth of new bonus content. If you have never played a Gabriel Knight game (there are three), now is the perfect time.
Rightly hailed as one of the greatest games of all time, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers emphasized storytelling and character building above all else. "As struggling author and bookstore owner Gabriel Knight, players will investigate a series of savage ritual killings in New Orleans and their connection to voodoo's sinister mysteries. The deeper they dive into master storyteller Jane Jensen's tale of terror and suspense, the closer they'll come to discovering the secrets of Gabriel's family history-and unfolding his destiny."

As part of a special launch celebration, publisher Pinkerton Road Studios and developer Phoenix Online are hosting a Launch Day Google Hangout at www.youtube.com/POStudios today at 2 PM Eastern.
The publisher has also been counting down the days until the launch. Despite many letters (and several tweets), they have refused to go with my idea of calling it '10 Days Of Knight', but whatever. Fans can check out the site for some excellent behind the scenes content, interviews and even the first new addition to the Gabriel Knight lore since 1999's 'Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned'. The short story, Temptation, is written by Jane Jensen herself and you should definitely read it. It's free!
You can buy Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition on Steam, GOG and the Phoenix Online store.
Seriously, you really should.
