Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition is a 2014 remake of the classic 1993 point-and-click adventure game, bringing the supernatural mystery to life with updated HD graphics, new character models, and re-recorded voice acting. Players step into the shoes of Gabriel Knight, a struggling New Orleans writer and bookstore owner who becomes entangled in a series of brutal voodoo-related murders while researching material for his new book. As Gabriel investigates deeper, he discovers his own connection to an ancient line of Shadow Hunters and must confront both human and supernatural forces working against him.

The remake maintains the original's compelling narrative and intricate puzzle design, while modernizing the interface and presentation for contemporary audiences. The game features detailed recreations of New Orleans locations, from the French Quarter to historic cemeteries, all rendered in a new 3D art style that replaced the original's pixel art. While some purists prefer the original's aesthetic, the anniversary edition makes the game more accessible to modern players, while preserving the sophisticated storytelling and atmospheric southern Gothic horror that made the original a classic of the adventure game genre.
