Eurogamer:
German publisher dtp entertainment has said that it will finally release Gray Matter - the first adventure game from cult creator Jane Jensen in over a decade - in March 2010.
The PC game was originally expected in late 2007, then postponed into 2008, then suffered a further delay into 2009 when dtp replaced the original Hungarian developer with a French outfit, Wizarbox.
Gray Matter is the first game by Jensen since the conclusion of her much-loved Gabriel Knight series of supernatural mysteries with Gabriel Knight 3 in 1999. It concerns reclusive Oxford neurobiologist Dr. David Styles and his student assistant Samantha Everett, and their attempts to explain the appearance of Styles' deceased wife at his mansion, Dread Hill House.
AUTOMATON's Charles Battersby recently sat down with author and game designer Jane Jensen, writer and creative director of the upcoming HD 20th anniversary edition of the classic Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, who offers some insight on both the future and past of the Gabriel Knight series and more.
From the review - Gray Matter may not be greatly appealing to the eyes, but the story is captivating enough to entertain the fans of point-and-click genre.
