ABOUT THE BEAST WITHIN

In this heart-stopping sequel to Sins of the Fathers, Gabriel takes on the family title and responsibilities as a Schattenjäger, or "Shadow Hunter". Now residing in Schloss Ritter, the castle the Schattenjägers have called home for centuries, Gabriel is asked to investigate a series of murders, believed by the Rittersburg townsfolk to be the work of werewolves. Although doubting at first, Gabriel soon discovers evidence that the local police may not be telling the whole truth in their stories about escaped zoo wolves...

Meanwhile, Gabriel's partner Grace Nakimura leaves New Orleans for Munich to conduct some research of her own, and to keep an eye on Gabriel. Although Gabriel believes that she will be safe and out of the way while looking into the history of King Ludwig II, she is quickly drawn into the mystery at hand, uncovering records of centuries-old werewolf trials and a dark and dangerous secret involving Mad King Ludwig, the great composer Wagner, and a Bavarian noble called The Black Wolf.

"Most definitely one of the best games of the year... the action is intense and the plot unfolds smoothly and rather terrifyingly at times."
- Computer Game Review

"Gabriel Knight II is the continuation of a brilliant tradition - the graphic adventure as art. That it combines solid technology and a marvelous aesthetic with outstanding gameplay is a testament to a designer who understands that 'the game is the thing.' Long live Gabriel Knight!"

"The growth in technique and the confidence that Jensen shows in crafting a believable and interesting story populated by three-dimensional characters both take this game to a new level. This one is not to be missed."
- Strategy Plus

"Jensen, who wrote and designed both games, emerges as a master of cheeky dialogue, splendid characterizations, and sensible puzzle constructions..."
- Philadelphia Enquirer

"Mystery lovers have always had it pretty easy. In the end, the author solves the mystery for them. That's changed now. Powerful multimedia companies offer a new form of mystery, one that places you squarely in the action - and keeps you there until you solve the puzzles. An outstanding example of what is probably a new art form is The Beast Within, written and designed by Jane Jensen..."
- Associated Press

"I went out and bought a new quad-speed [CD-ROM] drive... (Okay, I was planning to buy one sooner or later, but it tells you something about how powerful the game is that I actually did it now, just so I could finish this one game!)."
- William R. Trotter, PC Gamer

"The video in the game is far beyond good. It is also arguably beyond the quality of most big-screen fare as well. Acting, directing, and game visuals in general are so outstanding, this is the first game, in my opinion, that truly starts blurring the line between computer game and feature film."
- Games Domain Review

"This is the best interactive, live-action video adventure game to date. Everything about it is first rate. This is well-executed, visceral, mentally exhausting, and exciting entertainment."
- Gamespot

"Jane Jensen [has] created a game with well-defined characters and intricate plotting set in an intriguing world that combines historical fact with eerie folklore... the result is as satisfying as it is ambitious."
- Rolling Stone
