Better get ready, because Markus Ritter - Ghosts of the Past is now available on GOG with a -20% launch discount until December 9th, 2 PM UTC!

In front of you lies a classic FMV point and click adventure game. Can you stop a serial killer who is murdering his way through Vienna? Experience a week in the life of Markus Ritter, who really just wants to lie on the couch at home, but suddenly has to juggle a job, love and the supernatural.

Now on GOG!

Thank you, GOG and Flimmersoft!

I really enjoyed this series and it is always nice to see more FMV games on the site!

GOG.com: Release: Markus Ritter - Ghosts of the Past
Ok, let's see:
Markus Ritter - Ghost of the Past

A FMV point and click adventure.

Actors:
Markus Ritter (= Markus Knight)
Claudia the secretary

Markus is a photographer of photo books of questionable quality.
The blood of a time-honored family of Shadowhunters beats in his heart.
The Shadowhunters are destined to fight demonic beings, so-called 'shadows'.
One such monster is currently killing in Vienna and has already claimed countless victims.

============================
Gabriel Knight - The Beast Within

A FMV point and click adventure.

Gabriel Knight
Grace Nakimura, the assistant/researcher

Gabriel is a novelist.
He descends from an ancient line of German "Shadow Hunters".
The "Shadow Hunters" investigate and hunt down supernatural beings.
A werewolf hunts for its prey in a Bavarian village.

============================
Is this a new "theme" on GOG?
Releasing new games, that rip off old games?
I think, we very recently had one of these...

We did. It was an unauthorized Alone in the Dark remake that didn't look too sharp.

At least this beat for beat remake has something going for it, like a modern coffee maker, and...photo insert characters instead of charmingly drawn in Deluxe Paint II animations and characters?

Happy to see this here.

I look forward to the sequel which is already in development.

Rather than FMV, it is going to jump on the latest 3D graphics bandwagon. Third rate actors are expensive, much better to have low poly-graphics where you have to fight the camera perspective.

They are progressing well - there are some ingenious puzzles to entertain everyone. Let me share my favourite.

Markus Ritter has to produce fake photo ID. He does this by stealing it from a friend. By itself, the stolen ID won't be accepted, but Markus Ritter realises that everyone with facial hair looks the same, so the solution is incredibly creative:
Draw a beard onto the photo ID, and then glue some dog hair to his face in the shape of a beard.
With such well-designed gameplay, I'm sure it is going to be a hit.

Right! That's the one I was talking about.
Couldn't remember which old game was "cloned".
