Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.

About The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight® Mystery
I went in expecting a budget remake of a '90s adventure classic, and that's roughly what I got. You switch between Gabriel Knight, a paranormal investigator, and Grace Nakimura, his tech-savvy partner, as they untangle a series of gruesome killings in Munich. The puzzles are traditional point-and-click fare: combining items, talking to NPCs for clues, searching crime scenes. Nothing revolutionary, but the werewolf premise gives it personality, and the dual-protagonist structure lets you see cases from two angles. The catch is scope. This isn't a lavish AAA production. Environments are static, voice acting is spare, and the overall vibe lands somewhere between indie passion project and nostalgic fan-work. If you're chasing the Gabriel Knight legacy or just want a low-stakes mystery to pick at over a weekend, it scratches that itch. Anyone expecting slick presentation or modern adventure-game conveniences should look elsewhere.
