I am having hard time choosing from the games, they all seem very interesting.
I love Gothic fiction. GK was gothic fiction... what I dislike is overly romantic, overly sentimental, female perspective Gothic Fiction, as I suspect most men do. :wink:

You see, Gray Matter was good but it nearly reached critical mass on teenage angst, sad songs and tormented and scarred male geniuses who frequently pose naked in shower scenes. The Black Mirror series were the only adventure games I enjoyed more than GM in the past decade or so and it was certainly Gothic.

"Anglophile" sounds like a full-blown girly game. If I understand correctly you play a female lead that screws around Brittish high-society... not my thing.
