Pinkerton Road Studio is an American video game developer based in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. The company is responsible for creating Moebius: Empire Rising and the remake of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. Jane Jensen, the creator behind the Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 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: Empire Rising and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers: 20th Anniversary Edition.[7][8][9]
