Up to 80% off Quest for Infamy, Gone Home, Never Alone, Lumino City, and more!



Videogame storytelling is in a way similar to flirting techniques: others believe in chatting their audience up and others prefer driving the message across with meaningful visual cues and creative use of sound. Are you an advocate of the "show, don't tell" approach or do you enjoy the mental imagery invoked by carefully arranged words? Whichever your predilection, here you will find games that cater to both appetites, standing <span class="bold">Words Apart</span> from each other but converging at the same destination: a captivating narrative.

An exercise in subtle expressiveness and emotional storytelling, Never Alone is a puzzle/platformer centered around the unusual friendship between a Native alaskan girl and a fox, as they struggle to survive a fierce, never-ending snowstorm.

Gone Home's protagonist may not say much but the game's story is told using other people's words. Either through newspaper clippings, confidential correspondence, or diary entries, you gradually uncover a bittersweet tale of forbidden love and dark family secrets.

The astonishing paper-craft visuals and melodic soundtrack of Lumino City are the perfect complements to its limited text. After all, one doesn't need too many distractions when experimenting with smart, tactile puzzles.



Whether you like your games chatty like Quest for Infamy and The Curious Expedition, or laconic like Samorost 2 and Among the Sleep, you will find something that speaks to you inside <span class="bold">Words Apart</span>. And if you are one of those people who only talk in numbers, there are even some pretty nice discount tags here, going up to 80% off. Now that's a story worth telling!
The promo will last until April 1, 10:59 AM GMT.
Some very good indie games in this batch. Just finished Never Alone (a decent platformer with some documentary story telling...)
Samorost 2 and Lumino City looked awesome! Grabbed them!
I see SOMA, I see 80%, I click on it, I see no SOMA. Good advertising, you're up with the majors.
Background picture for the weekly staff picks is misleading advertisement. Do I need to say more?
Maybe it's about time to become infamous! :-)

Gone Home a great adventure? Come on..
Graphic and sound are nice, but.. that's all.
Why is a SOMA pic the sale background when there's no SOMA in the sale?

Hear, hear to that. That's just plain dishonest click bait and switch.
