Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

trustymutsi: How IS that game? The reviews seem to complain about it being repetitive, and relies too much on luck.

Frostyfirefly: If you like a fair challenge, you are going to hate it. If you find repetition intolerable, you will also hate it. If you like a 50% skill 50% luck game where you will die a 100 times trying to get to the last floor at the end of a long dungeon crawl where you starve, your weapons get ruined after a few uses and healing items are sparse, this is your game :)
So in those respects it's like FTL? Because I love FTL :)
does anyone have a list of what came since Thief 3?
Someone has summoned "THE LIST!"
All hail the Keepers of the Lists....

Honestly im not really expecting much at the end of the sale.

The sale itself has been amazing. ive purchased 24 games this sale at a disgustingly low price and probably wont need another game until The GoG release of Witcher 3 in March.

snip3rfire: I hope I'm wrong as well.

Just seems like everyone is expecting this sale to go out with a bang, and unless they release a entirely new game for free (my suggestion, Grim Fandango) or something at unlimited amounts, I don't see how they could end this sale anymore appropriately.

The Witcher 2 - GO!

It's like FTL, but you may find FTL a bit more satisfying if you like shorter games. If you don't mind The Pit taking more hours to complete, you should buy it.

Frostyfirefly: W00t, made it to floor 6 in The Pit :)

I haven't played it that long, but it's my favorite of the recent roguelikes, I enjoy it a lot more than FTL, though many players seem to love that game, not me so much. All roguelikes have that luck part of the game.

Nooo! i missed NVN :( unsummon the list!
if you ask me, the sale will end with the regular main screen being restored and about 95% of the ppl here will ask themselves "Wait, that was it? is it over?" =)
Soul Keaner is almost on its way out.
