How it feels

A cerebral detective experience where you methodically piece together historical and modern clues through interactive puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players praise Jane Jensen's hallmark storytelling and intriguing historical conspiracy, but are split on the execution. Many love the characters and voice acting, while others find the animations clunky, the pacing slow, and the game feels rushed compared to Gabriel Knight. A few note a frustrating maze segment near the end and the lack of a planned sequel.
