Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father®

i began this game as a boy and finished it as the most unemployed employed man in louisiana stealing priests' clothes to extort information from the elderly

Can't believe a 30 year old point-and-click still slaps this hard. Pixel art still looks great, story sucked me right in, no notes. If you're even a little curious about old school adventure games, this is the one to start with.

There is no music and the audio pops, this version kinda sucks :(

I'm really glad to see this on Steam, and it's certainly a bonafide classic. Sadly, DOSBox is terrible, especially on a Windows 11 system. I need to dust off my oldest laptop and see if I can finish this there.

The story was gripping and the graphics, which could be seen as outdated, were much to my tatse. Yes, it is a little old, but the old style was very nice to look at and reminded me of playing Theme Hospital. The darker, supernatural aspects and the broke charcter who can be a bit of a jerk nicely reminded me of some of the older Constantine comics, so should defintley be given a chance if that's your sort of thing. Just be prepared to check EVERYTHING and make a few savestates you can go back to. Even with some audio issues due to this being a not compleley perfect port, I would very much recommened this game. I am unsure about Windows, but it played relativley well on linux with no crashes. However, I would recommend going into the config files in in SteampApps/common/Gabriel Knight/GK1/DOSBOX and changing the dosboxGK.conf file to cycles=10000 during a specific part of chapter 6. It can be changed back straight after and is the only meddling I did with this game.

This game in all time classic for a reason. It's so incredibly difficult to play but it's also so beautiful and there's so much to discover that it doesn't take away from how fun it is. I always recommend this game. All-time favorite.
