Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned is a point-and-click adventure game, created by Jane Jensen, developed and published by Sierra Studios, and released for Microsoft Windows in 1999. The sequel to 1995's The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery, the game's story focuses on the lives of Gabriel Knight (voiced once again by Tim Curry) and Grace Nakimura, as they become involved in a case to track down a kidnapped infant, becoming embroiled in a mystery that involves vampires, the Knights Templar, the Holy Grail and Jesus, within the Languedoc province of France; the story itself is inspired by a real-life treasure conspiracy associated to the area.
Following the previous installment, Sierra opted to render the third game in the series in 3D graphics, with a heightened level of puzzle solving and exploration. Work on development was delayed due to difficulties from the team in adapting to the new rendering engine for the game, with some puzzles that were designed found to be complicated and replaced with a number of new puzzles that Jensen did not approve of but couldn't have changed. Although Jensen had approved of the actor who portrayed Gabriel in the last game, it was decided that Curry should return, owing to her belief he provided the right personality for the character.
Gabriel Knight 3 was the last game to be made by Sierra prior to the crash of the adventure video game industry. Although not a commercial success, much like its predecessors, it received mainly positive reviews from critics. Praise was given to the story and its setting, along with one of the "best-designed game puzzles" in adventure games, while it was criticised for some of its poor dialogue, Curry's performance, and its transfer to 3D graphics. The game was re-released as part of Sierra's Best Seller Series in 2001, and again for GOG.com, in 2010, and Steam, in 2016.
Interactive objects are highlighted when the cursor is moved over them, to which doing so activates an action bar of "verb" commands that can be conducted by the player. Actions can involve things such as examining an object/person, picking up an item, or talking to a person. As with previous titles, players store items collected in an inventory, and can examine them, use them, combine them, or make them an active object for interactions with other items or people. Conversations with people range from those who provide brief words on things and those who need to be interviewed on topics. For interviews concerning questioning someone for information, an action bar of "verb" topics appears, which can range from asking about a place or object, learning about the person themselves, or questioning them on something they learnt. However, conversations cannot be reviewed after they have been done, as with previous games in the series.
Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned allows players to have full control over the camera's positioning and angle, allowing them to examine a location in detail; the camera is only fixed during cutscenes, close-up shots of objects, and conversations. In addition, if the player's character is not in view, they will spawn someone off-camera near to the current position of the viewpoint. At certain points in the game, players can make use of a laptop for scanning in and comparing evidence, conducting research on topics, linking evidence and items to marked down suspects, and for tackling one of the game's central puzzles. In some situations, the player must overcome a dangerous situation or risk occurring a game-over moment, forcing them to retry, restart the game, or restore a previous save.
Players assume the role of Gabriel Knight, voiced by Tim Curry, and Grace Nakimura, voiced by Charity James, throughout the game, using their own methods and approaches to solving their respective part of the investigation they undertake together. During their work, they receive assistance from Frank Mosely (voiced by David Thomas), a police detective from New Orleans. Other main characters in the game include: Emilio Baza, voiced by Billy West; Madeline Buthane, voiced by Jennifer Hale; Vittorio Buchelli, voiced by Joe Lala; Excelsior Montreaux, voiced by John de Lancie; Abb Arnaud, voiced by Gregg Berger, John Wilkes, voiced by Richard Doyle, Lady Howard, voiced by Samantha Eggar; Estelle Stiles, voiced by Carolyn Seymour, Larry Sinclair, voiced by Corey Burton, and Prince James, voiced by Simon Templeman. Other supporting characters feature the voices of Philippe Bergeron, Rene Auberjonois, Susan Silo, Karen Ross, and Tom Kane.
Four years after the events in The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery, novelist Gabriel Knight, fulfilling his family's role as Schattenjger, and Grace Nakimura, his research assistant, receive an invitation to the home of Prince James of Albany, a descendant of the House of Stuart, in Paris. James requests the pair to help protect his infant son Charlie from "Night Visitors" - beings claimed to be vampires that have plagued his family. Upon agreeing to the job, the pair are overcome on their first night by a strange force; Grace is knocked out, while Gabriel is left paralyzed and forced to watch Charlie being kidnapped. Regaining his limbs, he pursues after the kidnappers onto a train, but loses them, after being ambushed, when the train stops outside the town of Couiza. A station porter later helps him to a hotel in the village of Rennes-le-Chteau.
The next morning, Gabriel calls James to report his location, but is confused when he is asked to investigate what he can until his men can take over. When seeking coffee in the hotel, Gabriel learns that the night he arrived, a treasure hunting group arrived at the same time. The group consist of: Madeline Buthard, the tour's leader; Vittorio Buccheilli, an Italian tourist; John Wilkes, an Australian treasure hunter; Emilio Baza, a Middle-Eastern tourist; and Frank Mosely, Gabriel police detective friend from New Orleans. At the same time, he meets with local priest Abb Arnaud, and historical writer Larry Sinclair. During a search of the village and the region, he discovers the kidnappers must be hiding out in the area, and that the kidnapping has some connection to a hidden treasure in the region linked to the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail. That evening, After Grace arrives with James' men, Gabriel tails his replacements, and witness them interrogate Arnaud roughly, while greeting Larry with an odd handshake; Frank later reveals it to be Masonic. Deciding they can't drop the case, Gabriel and Grace agree to continue it, with Frank offering to help.
The next day, Gabriel searches the tour groups' room, and discovers Buthane and Vittorio are not what they appear to be. Meanwhile, Grace joins the treasure hunting tour to learn more about the hidden treasure in the region. After a visit to a local winery, owned by Excelsior Montreaux, she and the group come across the bodies of James' men, both of whom were brutally murdered and drained of their blood. Upon hearing of this, Gabriel questions the group, and examines the crime scene with Frank; the visit sees him experience visions of the murder, determining the killers were vampires. Gabriel informs James of his men's deaths, who implores him to continue his work, before visiting Larry to confront him about their visit. An angered Larry evicts him from his home, but not before he spies him setting his alarm for later that night. Talking with Grace regarding their suspects, she suggests to him to vist Montreaux, after finding his winery to be deeply unsettling for unknown reasons. Posing as a journalist, Gabriel meets him, and notes his views on wine-making are strangley odd and creepy.
Later that evening, Grace comes across an envelope containing a document known as Le Serpent Rouge, said to contain riddles that, when solved, lead one to the valley's treasure. Spending her time wisely, she manages to solve some of its riddles, before she is interrupted by Wilkes, who offers her dinner. Grace accepts, and discovers he found a hollow chamber under the valley through seismological surveys; unfortunately, she is forced to leave him in his room when he makes a drunken pass at her. After midnight, Gabriel heads out into the valley to spy on Larry, and witnesses him burying a manuscript, and recovers it; through it, he learns Larry's surname is Chester, not Sinclair. Upon returning to the hotel to sleep, he suffers a nightmare about vampires, causing him and Grace to sleep together. In the morning, Grace reveals the manuscript is about the fact that Jesus Christ had descendants, and covers his bloodlines following his crucifixion. Meanwhile, Gabriel finds Wilkes disappeared from the hotel, and later finds his body near a local landmark, killed in the same fashion.
Grace continues her work on Le Serpent Rouge and discovers the riddles answers conform to Wilkes' findings. After completing the riddles, she and Gabriel find the manuscript missing. Suspecting Mosely took it and discovering Prince James has turned up, Gabriel decides to question his friend and asks Grace to track it down. Her investigations later lead the pair to reveal Buthane to be with French intelligence, investigating recent activity in the region, Vittorio to be a priest from the Vatican, also for the same reasons, and that Mosely recently signed up to work for the CIA, investigating Freemason problems in France. Gabriel returns the manuscript to James, who is accompanied by his manservant Mesmi and Larry. He confirms his family has a connection to Jesus, and is fearful that Charlie's lineage was the motive for his kidnapping. Gabriel later revisits Montreaux, convinced he is involved, and finds evidence linking him to the kidnapping; unfortunately, the kidnappers spot him, alert Montreaux to his real identity, and chase after him.
In his absence, Grace discovers Emilio had been helping the pair with their investigations. He reveals that he once served in a brotherhood known as the Magi that aided and protected Jesus during his life, and that Montreaux is part a group of Magi who sought to secure his blood for their own end, becoming vampires as a result. Emilio himself attempted the same and became immortal, but regretted his actions, and so swore to prevent the group hounding Jesus' descendants. Realizing Charlie is likely in possession of a strong element of Jesus' bloodline, Gabriel, backed up by Frank and Mesmi, proceed to the hollow under the region, created by the Knights Templar, which houses a temple, confronting Montreaux and his kin, killing them and saving Charlie. Emilio, sensing this, leaves Grace, but advises her to pursue her own path in life. In the temple, Gabriel discovers the treasure is none other than Jesus' body, which grants him a vision revealing the origins of his family's role as Schattenjgers, before Emilio removes the body to a safer location. While Charlie is returned to his father, Gabriel goes to see Grace with the good news, only to find a note from her which he tosses away in sadness.
