Original Gabriel Knight re-released to new generation on GOG
The sins of the fathers are indeed passed down to the children, at least where Gabriel Knight is concerned, as Jane Jensen's beloved classic has been re-released today on GOG.com, seventeen years after its initial release.
Sins of the Fathers highlights GOG's announcement that the DRM-free download portal will be releasing many titles from Activision's back catalogue in the coming months. What this means in terms of adventure games isn't yet known, but Activision itself was once actively involved in the genre, publishing classics like Zork: Nemesis and Grand Inquisitor. More importantly to many, however, is the rich but long-dormant Sierra lineup now owned by Activision.
Perhaps no Sierra title is more acclaimed than today's release, which needs no introduction for longtime adventure gamers. For those that missed it the first time around, the story introduces Gabriel and his trusty assistant Grace. A bookshop owner and writer in need of inspiration, Gabriel is investigating the so-called Voodoo Murders in his hometown of New Orleans, but the dark secrets he uncovers reveals key details about his own family's history and his unique calling as a "Shadow Hunter".
As with all GOG titles, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is available DRM-free, and can be purchased for only $5.99.
