Jane Jensen's 1995 point and click adventure for MS-DOS, Macintosh and Windows, the sequel to Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. Gabriel Knight, now a shadow hunter, investigates killings around Munich believed to be the work of a werewolf, assisted by Grace Nakimura. The story has six chapters in a linear order, half with Gabriel and half with Grace. In each you complete a set of required actions to advance, in any order, and can do optional actions that give background. Chapters have varied locations, some reached through an overhead map with a hint system that highlights key places. Today, two playable characters who each take half the chapters give the investigation two angles.
