Hailed
by Adventure Gamers as one of the most well-written games ever and
given an Honorable Mention in the AV Club’s Top 100 Games of All Time, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition invites
players to relive the classic voodoo murder mystery that's captivated
generations of game enthusiasts for two decades. In the game, players
will take on the role of roguishly handsome Gabriel Knight, a struggling
author and owner of a bookstore in New Orleans, who is investigating
the Voodoo Murders for his new book: a series of savage ritual killings
surrounded by voodoo trappings. But his search into the dark underbelly
of New Orleans will reveal far more than who’s behind the killings, as
Gabriel is drawn to the beautiful and aloof Malia Gedde, learns the
secrets of his family history, and must comes to grips with his own
destiny if he’s going to survive.
“It’s
been a dream to be able to work on Gabriel Knight again, and I’m so
exciting to bring it to a new audience. I think it looks amazing and it
has all the classic gameplay,” said Jane Jensen, creator of the series.
“Gabriel
Knight is the reason why I became a developer. It was a groundbreaking
game that showed the power of Jane Jensen's storytelling,” added Cesar
Bittar, CEO of Phoenix Online and producer of the project. “The honor of
working alongside Jane in remaking one the most beloved adventure games
of all times is definitely for me a golden opportunity, but also a huge
responsibility, and we are doing our very best to ensure old fans and
new will be thrilled by the results and ready to play as a Schattenjäger
once again.”
