The ‘Gabriel Knight - 20th Anniversary Edition’ is a remake of 1993’s ‘Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers’ PC game. It features new HD graphics, new puzzles,
new voice acting, a remastered soundtrack by the original composer, and even some new locations. The game stays true to the original in terms of the story,
and while it is still a 3rd-person point-and-click adventure game, it uses 3D graphics and character models instead of 2D graphics with sprites.
As struggling author and bookstore owner Gabriel Knight explore the colorful world of New Orleans from Jackson Square to Bourbon Street ,to the shores of Lake
Pontchartrain. Investigate a series of savage ritual killings in New Orleans and their connection to voodoo’s sinister mysteries. The deeper he dives into
master storyteller Jane Jensen’s tale of terror and suspense, the closer he'll come to discovering the secrets of his own family history–and unfolding his
destiny.
The game is divided up into a series of days. Each day has Gabriel traveling to several locations to talk to NPCs, gather clues and solve brief puzzles.
Due to the day-by-day structure, the game is a bit linear, but, given the context of the game, it works well.
