Story

What's he gotten himself into now?

The 3rd installment in the Gabriel Knight series is set shortly after the end of the second game. Gabriel's assistant and erstwhile romantic interest, Grace Nakimura, encourages Gabriel to start rubbing elbows with the local nobility. At one such gathering, the duo pick up a job from Prince James Stewart. Apparently the royal family has experienced an on going problem with "night visitors." Victims in the family awaken exhausted and pale…with a pair of small wounds in their neck. It all sounds disturbingly similar to the work of vampires.

As the new Schattenjager, Gabriel is enlisted to guard Prince James' new infant son from the vampiric "night visitors." Sure enough, as soon as Gabriel takes the case, the infant son is abducted right from under Knight's nose. Knight gives chase and trails the kidnappers to a train staition in an isolated French Valley called the Languedoc. Gabriel gets knocked unconscious at the train station there, and he awakens in a nearby village. This is no ordinary valley though. Political intrigue, stories of treasure, the holy grail, and more surround the sleepy villages in the area. Gabriel and Grace need all their wits (or your wits anyway) to unlock the mystery of the local legends and how they relate to vampires and the kidnapping of the young prince.

Count on using typical sleuthing techniques, questioning, and item gathering in order to advance the story and solve the case. As with the previous two installments, Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned is an interactive detective/supernatural mystery that requires more of a quick wit rather than a quick trigger finger.
