Mount Joy, Penn. – February 11th, 2014 – Pinkerton Road Studio and Phoenix Online Studios, developers of the recent Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition, today released Chapter 2 of “The Temptation,” a brand new comic book version of the short story written by Jane Jensen, at www.GabrielKnight20th.com. Also available in short story form, the comic is the first new story in the Gabriel Knight series since the third game, Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned, was released in 1999.
A complement to Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers: 20th Anniversary Edition, recently released for PC and Mac, “The Temptation” takes place six months after the third game in the series, and finds the Schattenjäger back in Germany, alone, with Grace having left for parts unknown, and wondering just what one does after fulfilling their destiny. On a new case in the Bavarian countryside, Gabriel now meets an elderly woman who’s surprisingly knowledgeable about the supernatural and may be able to help find his new quarry, a creature that feeds on the souls of others.
Chapters 1 and 2 of the comic book adaptation are available for free today at www.GabrielKnight20th.com, with the final chapter coming soon.
