That time of year has come again to scare Gus!

I'm playing Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father 20th Anniversary Edition from gog.  The game is broken up into days where you must accomplish certain things to advance to the next day.  I'm currently on Day 4.

The rework is pretty good.  So far, none of the basic puzzles or story line has changed.  I remember enough of it from the last time I played to get through the game.  The reworked game does not have the timing issue from playing a DOS game, has a space bar to indicate hotspots so you don't have to play "hunt for the magic pixel," and retains all of the psychological buildup of the original.  It has been pretty fun, probably great fun for someone who has never played it.

^Thanks airboy, I have it on my Steam wishlist. Greybriar also recommended it.

I had to check but I have Gabriel Knight on GOG also, though I never played it. If you guys recommend it that's good enough for me to give it a try sooner rather than later.

BTW Gus, Sunless Sea is pretty enjoyable. It's much slower-paced and not in-your-face with jump scares or anything. It comes across as a Lovecraftian horror thing too. The longer you spend out on the water, the more Terror your crew accumulates, but your goal is to explore. The game warns you from the beginning that your Captain will die, so don't get too attached to them. ;D You'll get to continue on as other characters, though, as something gets passed down each time it happens.

Admittedly I rage quit last night (well, not really rage, more like ::) than actual rage) when my Captain died about 20 minutes into the game.

 Does anyone else find it odd that we could sum up a discussion on the meaning of life in three pages yet scaring, and quite possibly scarring, Gusington may never end?

I find very little odd about this site.

I was already scarred when I fell in with this gaggle of clowns 15 years ago 💩

[BanzaiCat]

And you contribute mightily to this gaggle of clownery.

Do clowns come in gaggles?

I thought it was troops.
