Gabriel Knight is a wise-cracking bookstore owner and would-be author. He is the last in a long line of Shadow Hunters, those fated to fight supernatural forces of evil. Tormented by terrifying nightmares, he must spend every waking moment scouring the side streets and back alleys of New Orleans for the key to his dark past.
One day, a blood-chilling murder shocks the inhabitants of the city. In the beginning Gabriel collects evidence in hope of using the material for his new novel; but soon he finds himself personally involved in the investigation, and plunges deeper into the world of secret societies and murderous cults. And you can't skip them as you could in Indiana Jones. This has to be remedied. That is not the only thing that should have been remedied. I got the full boxed version of the game, manuals, storybook and the rest.
Yet it wouldn't restore saved games. This should have been caught at the testing stage. This couple of minor, technical faults is the only thing that detract from the game - and I hope they will be sorted in the next release. The actual game is addictive, highly playable and downright creepy. Gabriel Knight is one of the few games that approaches the skill of the cinema in transporting you to another world.
What more could you ask for? In Voodoo every object is ruled by a spirit and can be controlled by dealing with that specific spirit. The gods of Voodoo loas number over three hundred, and include figures from the Dahomney, Nigerian and Congolese pantheons as well as a few surprised Catholic saints. The gods are of two sorts, the Rada and Petro loas. In general terms, the Rada are benevolent and the Petro loas more destructive.
This doesn't mean that the Petro loas are evil - their destructive power was harnessed in the Haitian revolution. Voodoo has its priests called the houngan if male and mambo if female. Voodoo had the ordination of women some time before the Anglican communion. Gabriel Knight was reviewed back in Issue Its an atmospheric thriller from Jane Jensen, who wrote Kings Quest 6. The cd version has smoother animation but its main selling point is that all the text is now spoken Tim Curry plays the eponymous hero in a louche, almost camp, style.
Knight is a bookshop owner and failed author investigating a series of Voodoo murders in New Orleans. But the more he finds out about the present, the more he unravels of his own past. The speech slows things down a bit unless you are a very slow reader but you can cut them off mid- sentence with a click of the mouse.
The graphic style of the game is a mixture of film noir and comic book cut-out panels. The music is an exceptional score by Robert Holmes which captures perfectly the feel of New Orleans. If you havent bought Gabriel Knight yet, then the cd version Js the one to buy.
