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.

gamesfreak64: are all? and these will be recycled i assume?

Fairfox: I mean maybe. Perhaps they're doing it even more differently and offering different games on different days, but I doubt it; I think it'll be the same games, over and over, but in smaller numbers than previous years. Crazy if so; we'll have seen everything that's on offer within the first few hours. Huh.
Its crazy for sure, and normally i have no problem with that cause i am pretty whacko myself :D
but this is the weirdest sales i have seen on any site, except for the weird sales at gamersgate , last year i guess it was, it seemed to be extended because they were offline most of the time during that sale, that was so funny to read in lots of topics in game fora all over the internet.

Too bad its still early, otherwise i would have gone to bed,i am yawning right now behind my desktop, this sale made me sleepty... you see i had save some cash, from the last arrival of games, cause there were very little games that suited me, so i had high hopes on a springlike sale or anything like that.
So when i saw the site with the news i was pleased ... but now...

Fictionvision: I assume there will be a second set of games and beyond that. This just seems too low a number to have for an insomnia sale revival.
And too low a number that their staggered free games would make sense.

Is it just me or finding the % off indies are too low? 20%??

Yeah, the servers for the US finally got caught up and I had a break for a few. Doesn't look like anything new has sprung up yet either. Maybe that's it until tomorrow?

Witcher 3 up again.

Every time it goes on sale I want to get it, but I know I won't actually like playing it. It seems like exactly the kind of game that I like - except that I don't like mandatory gore and nudity. It's like a sandwich covered in garbage, no matter how good the original sandwich I still don't want it. I just wish they offered the option to get the censored version instead of the regular version.

EVERYONE STOP!

The news post said a "a number of games never before seen on GOG.com".

Admittedly one is still a number, but then games is written with an s at the end, as in plural.

And we've only seen one new game appear in the sale.

Thus we can safely assume that the current roster will change somewhere down the line.

I WANT TO BELIEVE!

Now I'm just assuming here, but maybe we'll get a batch of different games for tomorrow? At least I hope it's something like that.

Funny. I look for exact the opposite. The uncensored versions of games. Sometimes it is hard to get them in germany.

Well, it´s a bit buggy right now---I don´t see the games on the front page or galaxy store page, just an empty placeholder...

To each their own. I just wish there was the option.

Would love more notice on these types of sales.

I am probably going to have to sit this out since now is a bad time financially. If I even had one week notice that it was coming up I could have something set aside.

Also the nature of the Insomnia sale, several small purchases, usually gets my CC/Debit Card locked if I use it. Paypal isn't a bad option if I remember to throw some cash in there before the sale starts so a heads up before it starts would be very helpful for doing that too.
