Gabriel Knight is a down-on-his-luck horror novelist and bookstore owner in New Orleans. While his new assistant, Grace Nakimura, takes care of the shop, he's hoping his research into a string a voodoo murders around the city will give him a story for a bestseller. With some help of his old friend, police detective Mosely, as well as his own often-reckless macho-like attitude, Gabriel manages to obtain detailed information on the cases, but his research starts wearing on him. Tormented every night by nightmares of voodoo rituals, he begins to realize his dreams are not merely the result of his investigation, but are somehow connected to his own past.
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, which was first published in 1993 by Sierra On-Line, was probably the darkest most gripping game at the time, from the first animated sequence to the terrifying climax, every aspect of this psycho thriller put even the most seasoned of gamers at the tips of their toes. And although no Gabriel Knight title had been released since 1999's Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned, the Sierra community kept pleading and maintaining hope for more Schattenjager adventures.

The 20th Anniversary Edition of Gabriel Knight of course boosts far more detailed graphics and animations, as well as the remastered soundtrack by Robert Holmes. It also contains multiple new puzzles and even some new locations. The remake also features bonus content, such as original concept art, audio interviews, story boards and more. Possibly the most challenging part was to find a cast of voice actors that could somewhat match the star-studded cast of the 1993 original. Jason Victor, who first assumed the role of King Graham in Phoenix Online's The Silver Lining, took on the daring task of voicing Gabriel Knight, previously voiced by Tim Curry. Other actors took on roles previously occupied by Michael Dorn, Leah Remini, Mark Hamill and others, and managed to deliver a performance beyond the fans' expectations. We wholeheartedly agree with DigitalSpy's statement that Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers: 20th Anniversary decision is a remake done right.
