I hope the leak is correct. If it is, this will be an excellent bundle.

Asbeau: I hope the leak is correct. If it is, this will be an excellent bundle.
Unfortunately for me, I'm not too interested in text adventures or first person puzzlers, but I guess I could give them a shot.
Hm, so far it doesn't sound too exciting, kind of what I feared. Excellent for those who missed Gemini Rue and Time Gentlemen, Please! (plus its free predecessor) of course, two (or three) of the most enjoyable point-and-click adventures I've played during the last year or so and all worthy of being bought for the full price. It's just that they've been featured in bundles before and that I personally don't have any interest in them anymore. :(

I don't know the other two, but to me they don't seem enough of an incentive to buy the bundle. Let's hope for a nice surprise among the remaining two titles that didn't leak yet. :/

"Land of Dreams" is a setting / series with three games. The last one was commercial - The Sea Will Claim Everything, the first two freeware. I'm guessing all three of the games will be in the bundle, which brings the total # to 7.

Oh bugger. Was one of them created specifically for this bundle? And Interactive Fiction would be the genre never included in a bundle before? Underwhelming, but it was to be expected. :(

EDIT: Of course still great for some due to TGP and Gemini Rue. I guess it's just the oversaturation of bundles finally kicking in.

Well I've read up some stuff on the Land of Dreams titles, and people seem to like them a lot. So who knows, these might finally be the games to drag me into the first-person puzzler genre.

You mean as in "Myst"? Do you know the titles of the two freeware games, by chance, so I could give them a try?

Yeah, as in Myst, Dark Fall, etc.

The first two freeware Land of Dreams titles are apparently this one and this one. I wouldn't be surprised if they get updates when the bundle is released, as the first one has some disclaimer of compatibility issues if your monitor isn't set to "standard 96 dpi" whatever that means, with a fix tentatively scheduled for 2012.

Maybe I even tried one of them before, seems kind of familiar. And not all that different from Interactive Fiction, I'd guess. But I'll give them a try, thanks!
The final line-up is The Sea Will Claim Everything by Jonas Kyratzes, Gemini Rue, Metal Dead, The Shivah, Ben There, Dan That!, Time Gentlemen, Please!, 1893: A Worlds Fair Mystery

I would have bought it just for Gemini Rue anyway so the rest is gravy, and rather tasty looking gravy at that.

Hmm, well I have both Wadjet Eye games and both Zombie Cow Studios games so whether or not I buy it depends on how interesting the other 3 games are.
It's a steal for everyone who doesn't have Gemini Rue, The Shivah, Ben There Dan That and/or Time Gentlemen Please! yet, and I'd heartily recommend it to them as those are some of the finest adventure games I've played during the last years. Can't judge Metal Dead yet, but I already own it, too.

I take it the bundle starts at $4? Not sure if 1893: A Worlds Fair Mystery and The Sea Will Claim Everything are enough of an incentive for me to buy it, but maybe the Gemini Rue soundtrack is. Seems a bit stingy of me, but maybe I'll wait for the minimum price to drop before I decide on it. ;)

I have none of those, so I guess I should pick it up?

Unless you're completely averse to the genre of point-and-click adventures, you don't like indie games or you're one to complain about graphics and pixel art - yeah, you should. ;)

I do like both, so I'll plan on grabbing it. :)
