===Plot=== <!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:Gabriel Knigh at the hunt club.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Gabriel Knight at the hunt club (Die Koniglich-Bayrische Hofjagdloge)]] --> The storyline weaves together [[werewolf]] mythology and [[Bavaria]]n history with sexual intrigue and businessmen's quest for their primal roots. The game's two lead characters are Gabriel Knight—the seemingly less-than-bright but smart-as-a-fox mystery writer and bookstore owner—and Grace Nakimura, his less-than-trusting assistant. Knight has inherited a castle in a small German village and the title of ''Schattenjäger'' ("shadow hunter" in German) that comes with it. It has been a year since the voodoo murders case (The Sins of the Fathers) and the local villagers implore him to investigate the mysterious death of a little girl—caused, they believe, by a werewolf. Knight and Nakimura's search for clues takes them to [[Munich]], [[King Ludwig II]]'s famous [[Neuschwanstein Castle]], [[Altötting]] and Bavaria's forested countryside. Their efforts lead them to uncover the truth about King Ludwig's mysterious death and discover a lost [[Richard Wagner]] opera, written by [[Robert Holmes]] (composer of music in the game). <!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:Lost Wagner opera.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Richard Wagner's lost Opera]] --> The game is divided into six chapters and the player controls Gabriel and Grace alternately between the chapters. They conduct their investigations separately for the most of the game, only joining forces in the finale.
