In other notes about this game series so far:

- This probably has my favorite puzzle design of most of the Sierra games. They make sense, but they're not so simple they're gimmes.
- The second game especially has some interesting puzzle design.
-I LOVE the research puzzles, they're hella fun.
-I want a remake where #GabrielKnight is canonically bi-curious.

I'm also playing this game at a point where there's kind of a smorgasbord of voice actors playing all the main parts. Like Tim Curry, Leah Remini, and Mark Hammil all voiced the OG #GabrielKnight, but they hired soundalikes for the remake.

Then you have the FMV actors in the second game (who, as previously stated, aren't bad).

And then the third is the weird 3rd-person-perspective "we need to make 3D games for the sake of making them" game that I played years ago but never beat.

I played the 20th Anniversary remake of the first #GabrielKnight game and it was pretty dang good. There are parts of the game that don't age super gracefully, even with the benefit of the remake (GK is a giant horndog, like Leisure Suit Larry levels of horny) but the main plot isn't one of them.

I also forgot how rooted these early Sierra adventure games can be in history. Like I literally learned things (hopefully not entirely untrue) playing this game.

#gabrielknight 2 gab es gerade bei #gog habe das damals gespielt fand es aber ziemlich langweilig. Hab's jetzt mit dem #heroicgameslauncher unter Linux installiert und daddle Abends ne Runde dran rum. Schon witzig back to the 90's und das ganze spielt auch noch in #muenchen und Umgebung.

Another beloved game covering which may not score me a lot of sympathy points. #GabrielKnight easily is one of my favourite #Sierra games, because it did try something different from their usual formula.

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers was released 31 years ago, published by Sierra On-Line and created by Jane Jensen. Justifiably considered one of the most iconic point-and-click adventure games, the first in the GK series, featuring a haunting story, and the talents of Tim Curry as Gabriel, Leah Remini as Grace Nakimura, and one of Mark Hamill's most underrated but still brilliant performances as Detective Mosely.

💬Excerpt from an interview with Jane Jensen refuting the so-called experts of the time who claimed that the main drawback of adventure games is the inability to replay them once finished.

Why do I like adventure games so much?

It's partly because at the time when I discovered this genre, it was the only one to offer strong, independent female characters who owed their salvation only to their intelligence.

Pourquoi j'aime autant les jeux d'aventure ?

C'est en partie dû au fait qu'à l'époque où j'ai découvert ce genre, il était le seul à proposer des personnages féminins forts de caractère, indépendants et qui ne devaient leur salut qu'à leur intelligence

Your much-needed reminder that Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned is one of those rare masterpieces that would greatly benefit from a remake.
