Pinkerton Road Studio is an American video game developer based in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. The company is responsible for creating Moebius and the remake of Gabriel Knight. Jane Jensen, the creator behind the Gabriel Knight and Gray Matter, established Pinkerton Road Studio in 2012 along with Robert Holmes to focus on graphic adventure games.[2]

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 and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers: 20th Anniversary Edition.[7][8][9]
