Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition screenshot

What it is

A point-and-click remake of the 1993 murder mystery, in which a New Orleans bookstore owner questions locals and solves puzzles linking ritual killings to voodoo and to his own family history.

The catch

The recast voice acting is flat and grating, especially the lead and the narrator.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 91% positive, but with 1,166 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
