Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned

Description

The third game in Gabriel Knight series takes our hero Gabriel Knight, the former owner of a book store in New Orleans, and now a Schattenjäger ("shadow hunter") living in a castle in Bavaria, to Rennes-le-Chateau, a quiet town in Southern France. Gabriel and his assistant Grace Nakimura investigate the kidnapping of a baby: the son of Prince James of Albany was taken away, and the trace leads to Rennes-le-Chateau. While exploring the town and its surroundings and getting acquainted with the unusual history of the place, Gabriel and Grace realize supernatural beings are pulling the strings behind the scene, and get involved in a suspenseful mystery with a rich religious background.

"Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned" is a 3D adventure game. Playing as Gabriel or Grace, you move through the fully 3D environment, which you can also view and explore from first-person perspective using the "camera" option. You interact with people and objects by clicking on them and then selecting one of the available actions. There are many kinds of puzzles in the game: traditional inventory-based ones, detective investigation, as well as complex puzzles based on your knowledge of the game's story.

Trivia

Gabriel and Grace both give funny comments at most objects you see in the game. Though there is a little bug in this - being Grace and looking in the museum of rennes-le-chateau and looking at one of the paintings on the wall in the big museum-hall will give you Gabriel's comment on it.
