The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery (also known as Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within) is an interactive movie point-and-click adventure game released by Sierra On-Line in 1995. Unlike its predecessor Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, released in 1993, The Beast Within was produced entirely in full motion video. The technology was popular at the time of the game's production with the recently introduced storage capabilities of CD-ROMs, but was expensive to produce. Its sequel, Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned used a rendered 3D engine.

精彩的续作，最大的变化是舍弃掉了前作的精美2d，改用FMV搭建冒险场地，非常勇敢，也是那个短时间内技术进步幅度更大的年代才会出现的颠覆情况。机制方面因为FMV的缘故付出了极大的代价，完全不似同类产品用分歧点分割后续播放素材的简单方法，而是做了整套点击冒险的交互模式，剧情迷题也都维持在很高的水准，在真人实拍的场面下竟然格外好玩。比较可惜的是虽然实拍方面演员出色，配合机制而做的额外素材量也很大，但场景不管是外景还是布景现在看都太简陋了，运镜上为了照顾互动也并未在电影语言上走得更远（个人感受上看着这种有强烈时间印记的影像配合着互动倒是能体验到一些新鲜感，时间的定格或许能把这种表现固定成一种风格）。
