On 10 April 2012, Jane Jensen solicited a Kickstarter campaign to fund development of three games, including Gray Matter 2, Anglophile Adventure, and Moebius.[3][4] The campaign attracted 5,836 backers, raising a total of $435,316 in funding - $135,316 over the initial goal of $300,000.[5]
On October 8, 2013, Jensen revealed that Mystery Game X was Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers: 20th Anniversary Edition, a remake of 1993's Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. The remake included improved graphics, remastered music, and new puzzles and gameplay. The remake was released on October 15, 2014, for Windows, Mac OS-X, Android and iOS.[6]
On 29 April 2016, Pinkerton Road announced its forums would close on 6 May the same year, following the poor sales of Moebius: Empire Rising and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers: 20th Anniversary Edition.[7][8][9]
