Description
The adventure of Gabriel Knight starts with gathering materials for his new book, and ends up becoming a fight for his very soul. During his investigation he discovers that he is the heir to the title of “Schattenjäger”, or “Shadow Hunter”, which has been passed down in his family from generation to generation since times long forgotten. He must now face countless dangers in New Orleans, Africa and Germany, each bringing him ever closer to unraveling the mystery behind suspicious voodoo murders. Haunted by nightmares, he won't give up until he reveals the truth.

In this "full-talkie" version of one of the best horror adventure games ever created you can listen to over 7,300 lines of recorded dialogue performed by professional actors including Mark Hamill and Tim Curry. Allow yourself to be sucked into this amazing neo-Gothic story full of dark secrets, nightmares and tons of atmosphere!
  • A gripping, captivating, supernatural detective psycho-thriller
  • The first part of one of the greatest stories ever told in a video game, written by the talented Jane Jensen
  • Well-designed, memorable characters with a whopping 7300 lines of recorded dialogue

Classic Pont&Click with excellent story

This is a cult classic. Great story, detailed handmade graphics, great soundtrack and voice acting. Despite its age has lost nothing on its fascination.
