The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery Download PC

Gabriel follows leads to a suspicious hunting club with a philosophy based on revitalizing lost animal instincts in humans via hunting and hedonism. He joins the club, identifies Von Zell as the most suspicious member and befriends member Baron Von Glower. The club goes on a hunting trip, and Gabriel discovers proof of Von Zell being a werewolf: he witnesses him eating human remains in a hideout in the forest. The following night, Gabriel and Von Glower are able to kill Von Zell, but Gabriel is bitten by Von Zell in wolf form in the process, and is infected with lycanthropy.

Meanwhile Grace, left behind in New Orleans, tries to follow Gabriel, but as she doesn't know his whereabouts, is forced to largely remain in Rittersberg. A misunderstanding causes her to believe Gabriel and the schattenjäger assistant Gerde have been having an affair, but eventually she realizes the love relationship actually was between Gerde and Wolfgang Ritter (Gabriel's late great-uncle) instead and apologizes to Gerde. Her search for clues takes her to King Ludwig II's famous Neuschwanstein Castle, and she discovers that Ludwig II suffered from lycanthropy, caused by the mysterious werewolf known as Black Wolf. Ludwig and Richard Wagner had made experiments together to discover a sound combination to force a werewolf transformation, and as a result Wagner had written an opera to produce that sound, since then lost.

Grace finds the sickly Gabriel, who is then put in quarantine. It is revealed that Von Glower is the hundreds-years-old Black Wolf, and in a letter he pleads Gabriel to embrace his lycanthropy and to join him as a werewolf. Grace finds the score to Wagner's lost opera, and a great performance is arranged. Von Glower is in the audience, and in the climax Von Glower and Gabriel both turn into wolves, and Gabriel is able to cure himself by killing Von Glower.
