Pay more than $9 to unlock Magrunner just a few days after it was given away for free on GOG? Interesting timing...

I bought some of their Sherlock Holmes titles ages ago. I'll have to check which ones.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but did anyone see this?

It's not PWYW - you can donate but getting the games requires a $25 minimum, but you get Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Gunpoint, Noitu Love 2, Bleed, Electronic Super Joy, Guacamelee, Psychonauts, Dustforce, the Basement Collection, and Giana Sisters: Rise of the Owlverlord DRM-free.

What's the general consensus regarding the Sherlock game series? I haven't read or watched much Sherlock Holmes media, though I don't dislike it either. Are the Sherlock games a shining example of the adventure game genre or is it just more of something where it's worthwhile for someone who's already a Sherlock Holmes fan?
Considering the bundle for that cheap of a price, but if the games are just mediocre adventure games I don't know that I need to add them to my backlog (and, I know, there's probably differing opinions too...)

The Groupees Sherlock Holmes Charity Game Bundle was much better - all games were DRM-free, and those on GOG came with a code to redeem them here.
The only interesting addition to this one is Sherlock Holmes Versus Jack the Ripper, but that's also only a Steam key.
Definitely pass.

Damnit, Sherlock games and they're not DRM-free. Time to get the plutonium out of storage...

Whether they're worth playing or not is another question, I suppose. :)

Eh, apparently that I shouldn't rely on my observation skills when I'm tired and in pain - I went through my spreadsheet three times before posting, and still managed to miss the game in my Groupees Sherlock Holmes Charity Game Bundle entry. >//<
Cheers!

If tthis is anything to go by, then it'd appear that Frogwares can't be bothered with DRM-free versions and are more than happy (along with Humble Bundle) to only offer Steam keys - do notice that the only games offered DRM-free are the ones that are not on Steam, and two out of them are not even adventure games.
