Surfin' the highway.

<span class="bold">Death Road to Canada</span>, an outrageous road trip simulator about managing a vehicle full of unpleasant people that the zombies still find tasty, is available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 10% launch discount.

Crowded vehicles are scientifically proven to bring the worst out of humans and this one is no different; it's full of obnoxious morons who want to cross a sea of undead on a car - and you must help them! Step on it and overrun the brainless hordes, or proceed on foot and throw large pieces of furniture at them. Every now and then your horrible passengers will claw and bicker at each other about how to handle the Interactive Fiction events, so it's again your job to help resolve matters without (much) bloodshed. This post-apocalyptic highway is a regular madhouse: survivors with weird abilities, unusual weapons, rare events, a shotgun-wielding puppy - it has it all! All but a steady hand to sort out the mess and keep the growling pedestrians from jumping on board without a ticket.

Make your way through hundreds of pixelated undead as your car hits the <span class="bold">Death Road to Canada</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 10% launch discount will last until September 13, 12:59 PM, UTC.

murkki: Probably because developers did lot's of bug squashing and balance tweaks after initial release.

. Big Update 2 will likely focus on splitscreen co-op and possibly Steam Workshop mod support!

I can only hope that this song plays when you're driving the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile.

So is this really like Dead Rising just in pixels? Never played Dead Rising but loved to see the gameplay on youtube.

tinyE: Actually no.

That's just the way most Canadians look. :P

JOKE! I love Canada! Put down your hockey sticks! I love you all and I'm rocking out to "Moving Pictures" as I type this!

"Use the character creator to put yourself, friends, and family in the game. Have them show up and get eaten!"

EDIT : I got character creation after tutorial .

I was just reading about this on another forum; people were really enthusiastic about it. I was just thinking of buying it on Steam; maybe I'll buy it here instead.

Or maybe I'll hold off for a while, until I can be sure that these "big monthly updates" will actually come to GOG...

muntdefems: Not absolutely sure, but it seems to me they focused on releasing only on Steam until they got a more or less definitive version of the game before releasing it elsewhere.

Incidentally, they never talked about GOG in their Kickstarter page. The DRM-free version was supposed to be released through Humble, but as I'm writing this the Humble Store still sells this game as a Steam key only...
well, don't know if it willl lift your worries or thicken them up...

but i already bought a handful of games on humble store in the past because they were advertised/labelled on HB Store as available in DRM FREE format (they have a logo for platforms)... only to find out the drm free version didnt exist/were not available yet, for the moment, and it kept being unavailable for months (but finally the drm free build appeared in my HB library some day)

from what i can remember, the two games like that i finally got drm free build mo,nths (one year even) after were:
Starbound
Melody Escape

So, my call is: ifyou buy a game that is advertized as available drm free on humble store and when you get it on your library you get no drm free build, dont wait... immediatly request a refund on the base of false advertising.

It's probably tutorial.
Game makes you play that through at least once.

Oh, indie, randomly generated, "pixel" art and zombies.

Original.

IAmSinistar: Pixel Vomit: The Game

Another game reluctantly released on GOG in order to drum up profit? Yah, I'd pass on that account, if I wasn't already passing because it looks like a terrible game.
Given the recent output I thoroughly expected to see Devolver as the publisher, but nope, it's some random new studio...

Seems then that GOG will release any game with quote-unquote "retro" appeal... unless it comes from a AAA developer from the golden age, then it's apparently not worth it.
