Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned is the latest mystery adventure to puzzle the intrepid shadow hunter. Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned is set in a small village and valley in rural Europe. The village, Rennes-le-Chateau, is a real village and is the location of a Great Enigma -- either that or a Great Scam, depending on your level of belief. The case begins when Gabriel is invited for a weekend at the home of a currently dethroned royal scion. But it turns out that the 'Prince's' motivation for inviting Gabriel was not a social one. He has a new infant son and is concerned for his safety because the Prince's family has been plagued for generations by what seem to be a secretive sect of vampires. It turns out the Prince was right to be afraid. The first night Gabriel watches guard over his infant son, the boy is kidnapped. Gabriel gives chase and winds up at Rennes-le-Chateau. Gabriel will come to realize that the mystery that surrounds the Prince's family and the mystery of this ancient little town are not only connected, but will involve both very real current political agendas and ancient secrets. The plot percolates in a real-time 3D virtual world featuring highly detailed 3D animated characters. An intuitive interface lets you investigate and unfold the mystery according to your skill and wit.
