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.

apehater: there's a lag of some seconds till the number goes down
I think that lag is the time it takes for people to checkout.

The problem with the disc is going to be the 16-bit installer (the game is 32-bit, though). Someone made a replacement installer for it to allow you to install the game on newer Windows, and I did try it and it worked. However, I ended up buying the GOG version at a later date because it has a number of fixes already applied saving me from having to keep a list of them and how to apply them. Plus not having to insert a CD is preferred.

So the GOG version works pretty good?

Yeah I re bought them all on GOG too because of that and the more pressing fact that I don't have a CD/DVD drive in my PC build anymore. No need for discs ever again :)

Yeah, does for me. It has a starfield fix and the font fix to resolve the issue with nvidia GPUs.

The reason it lags is check it checks this url every 3 seconds. Showing the number in realtime would cause huge server load.

Edit: fixed some spellings.

But it appears to lag longer than that, and for more popular games, goes down quite quickly after the initial 6 or 9 second delay. Hence my belief it's relying on actual sales and not clicks.
