Jane Jensen's Moebius is an upcoming graphic adventure video game developed by Pinkerton Road Studio for the Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms. This game is a spiritual successor to the Gabriel Knight series.
Synopsis
The game tells the story of Malachi Rector, an antique dealer who travels the world hunting down artifacts. After his upscale Manhattan store is destroyed in a fire, he's hired by billionaire Amble Dexter to investigate a series of events and document them in his meticulous way.
The first event is the death of a young woman in Venice, found hanging from a bridge. As Rector investigates her life, he realizes that the beautiful and talented young woman—and the interrupted path of her life—had great hidden significance: Amble Dexter and his associates are playing with the fabric of life in a way Rector never imagined was possible. Even he, Rector himself, is part of a larger pattern. He must figure out who is doing what, and whether their intentions are for good or ill, before he can decide if he will play his pre-scripted role or try to change the outcome. This is a metaphysical thriller alla Dante’s Equation and Gabriel Knight.[1]
Development
On April 10, 2012, Pinkerton Road Studio announced their plans to have a crowd funded production of two new graphic-adventure games titled Moebius and Mystery Game X, inspired by recent Kickstarter successes such as Double Fine's recent success of using Kickstarter to fund Double Fine Adventure.[2]
On May 7, 2012, Pinkerton Road reached its Kickstarter goal of $400,000.[3] Jane Jensen's Kickstarter campaign ended on May 19, accumulating over $435,000 from backers.
