"I've been checking out this game recently and the gay subtext in it is HEAVY handed. 90s FMV games are a disproportionately queer space as it is but between the Baron flirting heavy with Gabriel Knight while lamenting that some "weren't meant to have children" and the historian saying he identifies with King Ludwick II (who is famously considered bisexual and discussed as such moments before) but "at least (he) lives in the 90s" this one might take the cake."
