5. Jane Jensen’s Moebius
Described as the spiritual sequel to the Gabriel Knight series, Moebius is the latest game from Jane Jensen. Its creator was responsible for the the golden age of adventure games, with titles like Gabriel Knight, King’s Quest VI, and many more classic Sierra adventures. Funded through Kickstarter, Moebius is described as a “metaphysical sci-fi thriller in the vein of Fringe.” I’ll let the rest of the description do the talking. Sounds interesting enough. This point-and-click adventure puts players into the role of one Malachi Rector, an investigative sort of person with a knack for the preternatural. Like Gabriel Knight before him, Rector must travel the world and investigate a series of events, documenting them throughout the game. What is it? Moebius is a point-and-click adventure game in the vein of Gabriel Knight, but with sci-fi instead of European folklore.
