Limited-quantity deals round-the-clock | Tired-looking sheep.



UPDATE: Time to go to bed, everyone! It's been a fun, intense, coffee-fueled week but the sheep has finally saled on this Insomnia sale so everyone can now get their (hardly needed) beauty sleep. Or go try out those fine-looking games they snagged moments before stocks disappeared. So long and don't let the bedbugs bite. Slay them for precious XP, instead.
Remember to check your email for your unlocked freebies, and you can always contact <span class="bold">Support</span> if there is anthing you're missing.



Don't fall asleep, don't look away… heck, just give up blinking.
Prepare yourselves a cauldron of hot coffee and stock up on eyedrops! Our infamous Insomnia Sale returns with a relentless stream of limited-quantity deals, one game after the other, nonstop until the games run out. Or the sheep doze off.

We've been studying your valuable feedback on this annual event, including comments like "AAAAARRRRGHHHHHH!!!" and "Please, why won't you let me sleep?!". We took them to heart and decided that what you guys are saying is that you need more gaming stimulants to fight away sleepiness. Worry not, we're here to help.

You lucky Insomniacs will also be treated to a number of games never before seen on GOG.com as well as the best-ever deal on our crowning jewel - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (-50% after the recent price drop, that's $24.99 in the USA).


If you want to learn more about the intricacies behind this whole science of non-sleep, check out the promo <span class="bold">FAQ</span>. But don't dally there too long, because games will start disappearing before your bloodshot eyes!

The GOG.com Insomnia Sale starts Monday, March 21, 2:00 PM GMT and will run until the limited-quantity deals run out.

While counting sheep and game deals, make sure to also drop by our <span class="bold">imgur</span> page and grab your Insomnia wallpapers.

Soccorro: Is it just me or is this sale turning out to be a bad joke compared to the past sales!!?? I mean no classics, tiny quantities... What happened!?

Bookwyrm627: Define "classics", because I've seen a couple of older games.

Also, the low quantities are (I assume) to keep things moving even when a less popular game comes up in rotation. A few insomnia's back, Jack Keane 2 would pop up with like 500 copies, and then sit there as the sale for the next 6-8 hours. Hardly insomnia if you can get a full night's sleep and still expect to see the same sale available when you get up.
but that was so much fun! when jakc keane showed up and we invented a new word "keaning" :D

Bookwyrm627: J.U.L.I.A., a game so new, it doesn't even have a game card yet! Sale order is blank.

You guys might want to double check any other games that are "New On GOG" for this sale.
what is this

Wow, Stealth Release is another new feature on GoG. Maybe Oblivion and Skyrim were released long ago and nobody noticed, because it happened in a stealthy way? :D

immi101: these stealth releases with absolutely no release announcement really suck. especially since there still is no link the game page at the insomnia sales.

What's the masterplan behind not advertising these new additions to the catalogue?

hiding the stuff you want to sell?
sounds like a "interesting" business strategy :p
Posted March 23, 2016
Well, they "hide" it in plain sight, and we are already discussing it. :-)

Pica-Ludica: Blimey, I blinked and almost missed the D&D bundle. Almost. :) It lasted what, a few seconds? ^^;
The Monkey Island bundle also last a few seconds. I managed to get both.
They added more games. Won't you stay awhile more? ;)

"Stealth" way to purchase.

Check the "Upcoming" tab and click on the gamecard for the game.

I've HEARD you can delete the "Coming Soon" part of the URL, hit enter and you'll be able to buy, albeit at full price. Or wait for it to show up again in the sale.

They're going to make official announcements soon enough, I'm sure, but the games won't be discounted then. (Or at least not nearly as much as they are for these small quantities.)

I could go with Kerbal and Turok for a break. :D

looks like insomnia sale doesn't count the purchases, but just the checkouts. so go to checkout to help speed up things, if its starting to get slow.

yeah, well I'd rather read all those funny stories than experience it myself...pretty sure most people who had to wait 8 hours back then didn't find it that funny.

Something that didn't exist when JULIA first popped up in the sale rotation. I even double checked to see whether the periods were necessary. :P

Sleeping is pretty fun.
8 hours is perfect.
