I have bought the bundle today mostly for Gemini Rue. I had no problems activating it on Steam. As I mentioned earlier, it seems that Valve has disabled purchasing the game directly from the steam store in order to avoid confusion amongst people as I don't think it's discounted there.

Anyway, I am really enjoying the game. Thanks for letting people know about that bundle. :)
I sent them an email about this, but I guess I'll post here in case anyone has any ideas.

I bought the bundle, but I can't access the site at all from my computer. No matter what browser I use, the page just tries to load indefinitely.

I bought the bundle on a different computer, for anyone who's wondering.

Hm, that's pretty annoying. Have you tried using a different browser or restarting your computer?

Tried several browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE), tried temporarily disabling my firewall. Haven't tried restarting, I'll have to do that later.

I got a pretty quick response from support when I emailed them, so hopefully you'll be able to get it working with them soon.

Also, just finished The Shivah. I have to say that I was somewhat incredulous of it just because of how short it was supposed to be, but it was really really excellent, worth the price of the bundle by itself in my opinion. In fact, I think I might have to add it onto my favorite games list. Now onto Gemini Rue! Although most people already have all these games, this is a fantastic bundle for newbies to the genre like me. :)
Just chiming in to say this is pretty much my favourite bundle ever, even though I owned almost everything already. TSWCE is fantastic, 1893 is absolutely incredible, and the rest are pretty much the top indie adventure games of recent memory.

This deserves way more love. It's far more professional and quality focused than most bundles out there. They're at Indie Royale/Humble levels in my opinion.

Yeah, the professionalism and quality has definitely impressed me as well. It feels like lately bundles have been kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel for releases, but definitely not in this case. Now we just have to hope more people realize this so the OSTs unlock.

All those browsers suck try OPERA internet browser it's the one I use and it's so fast it almost loads everything instantly.
I agree that this is an excellent bundle, it's just a bit late for it; it would have been a greater success had it come out a few months ago, maybe around Christmas or so. Then again it wouldn't have included TSWCE back then, and that seems to be a cool game, too. Even though I just had a quick look at them, I'd say the bundle is still worth it if you own all games but 1893 and TSWCE. Or even just to acknowledge the quality choice and give a little to charity. I'm looking forward to their next bundle, I just hope it won't take that long again.

EDIT: Maybe it would have been wiser to put other games in the "Beat the Average" section and let people have Metal Dead and The Shivah for the minimum price, seeing that they're both quite unknown and don't jump out at you regarding their graphics, so some might be reluctant to pay more for them, but would have had a greater incentive to buy the regular bundle when there were more unknown (and therefor unowned) games in it. And those still missing Gemini Rue might have been willing to pay $6 for it, since it's praised so often and made it to a few Best of 2011 lists.

Yeah, the point about the minimum is definitely good. I was pretty incredulous about it (though I'm definitely glad I went for it, because The Shivah is great). As you said, the graphics, while not bad, don't really make you go, "Woah!" and in addition, both of the games initially seem like they're kinda intended for specific audiences: Jewish people and metal heads (though that's not true, of course, but it might put potential buyers off). Still, great bundle and definitely worth it even if you have all the games besides TSWCE and 1893. Plus I still really want the soundtracks, so I encourage everyone to buy it. :)

Playing through Gemini Rue at the moment, and really enjoying it. I've heard a lot of complaining in reviews about the gun fights, but I actually enjoy them. I feel like they shake up the methodical adventure game pace a bit, and add some more intensity.

EDIT: I'm somewhat disappointed that the excellent TSWCE OST isn't part of the bundle, but it's available cheap on Bandcamp so it's not a huge deal. Also, even though the music is public domain, it'd be nice if they offered a download of 1983's soundtrack.

Is this the slowest selling bundle ever yet?

Probably besides some of the really obscure ones. Oh, and that one free one. ;)

Should that really just be due to people waiting for the price to fall, that would be a pretty pathetic display. :/

gameon: Whats up with the $0 indie dev grant so far?
They still haven't sold 2000 bundles, and indie grant gets some money every 2000 bundles sold.

I think it's a combination of that, and the fact that everyone who likes adventure games and bundles already has Gemini Rue, the Ben and Dan games and the Shivah. =(
