There's more than just buying games incredibly cheap to our DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! We're ready to pass its steering wheel (or rather the control console) to YOU. Each game in the sale is offered for a limited time only, and how long we stay in its year is up to you! Each time you see a new game on sale you can vote to either add or subtract 1 second from the timer. Each time you buy a game, you add 3 seconds to the time of it being on sale. We begin with 1983's Zork, bundled with the rest of the Zork Anthology of 6 games in total, for only $1.79. How long will it last on the front page? You'll be the judge. What comes next, as the game of 1984? Let's find out!

Let's take a trip in GOG.com's DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! 30 great games from 1983-2013 will be available up to 90% off, and you get to decide how long each game is on sale. Ready? The technomagical gateway to 1983 opens NOW!

* "Again?", you might ask, "when did they ever do the time warp?". Well, once you embark on a journey through time, all becomes relevant and there's absolutely no guarantee that what you are doing, you are doing for the first time. In fact, that's highly improbable. After all, time isn't linear. It's more like a giant wobbly-bobbly goggy-boggy ball of gaming awesome!

I recommend Unepic for $2.49; I picked it up during the Christmas sale. Unepic is an imperfect, sometimes frustrating, but fun game. It's got an approachable platformer design with metroidvania style levels. The humor relies too much on parody and is it or miss. At first it's fun on an action/arcade level but increasingly you have to customize your character. The game throws unconventional additions at you (i.e. you can amass a mob of enemies to fight for you at one point, some bosses require a totally different approach). Towards end game you have to make smart decisions to customize your character that can feel mean spirited and brutal; but also really unconventional and interesting. There's a cool pet system and robust magic choices with meaningful customization.

Since picking up Unepic I've completed 89% of the game and spend hours playing it having a blast the whole time; no masterpiece and it won't be "for" everyone, but a great diversion for $2.49 if you like platformers, RPGs, and/or cultural humor.

Edit: I picked up an extra copy of Unepic for a proper giveaway contest to be posted later. More people really should give it a go.

mkdfan: What's the chances of 2013 being broken sword 5 season pass? That would be awesome.
Zero. 2013 will be Spelunky, was already confirmed in GOG's advertisement.
lol Damn. I have gotten 1 game so far and it wasn't one I was really after. Fun sale though. Although...... I actually think I liked the insomnia sale more haha.

0%

Everyone is saying that because of this picture (see attach) the games that are going to end the sale are Legend of Grimrock and then Spelunky.

I was hoping for Divinity: Dragon Commander for 2013.

Too bad.

Unepic was, for me, the best Metroidvania game of the last years. The only really good one, if you ask me. And I found it really funny. Frustrating? Of course! If it wasn't, it wouldn't be a game.

Oh really? Guess I can move on with my life then!
I was hoping Unepic would have 90% off, but ah well...I don't have enough money to get it.
Unepic killed my mind, made me angry, raging etc. :D But it was a big fun once. I wouldn't touch it ever again. It is crazy

So in other words you are rather keane on being a sadist as compared to a time traveler then? :P

Chandoraa: This sale was quite meh in my book. Mostly stuff I wasn't interested in, stuff I wasn't interested enough in, or stuff I already had. I might be tempted by Unepic if the discount's cool enough. Otherwise, it's pretty much over for me, since there seems to be no more surprises coming (Spelunky and some-other-game-I've-now-inconveniently-forgotten are supposed to be up after this one, aren't they?)

Anyway, I hope you guys did manage to get some stuff you wanted. LONG LIVE THE KEANE!!!

Buenro-games: Legend of Grimrock is a GREAT dungeon crawler. If you like that genre, it's going to be a steal if at 80-90% off.
Grimrock is fun if you like puzzles. But combat is nothing short of a a click-fest chore. Casting spells is a complete pain in the ass requiring at least 3 clicks (more if the spell requires multiple symbols selected). Then you have to time your melee attacks, set up spells again and again (no way to save a favorite spell or two). No way to dodge, or block, aside from manually moving your whole party in a given direction away from the creepy-crawlies. The level-system is completely broken, and it looks like Grimrock 2 wont be much better, as the Dev is trying to create his own RPG system instead of basing it off of something that already exists and has been class-balance-tested.

Also the new system claims to be "more fun" by giving you something every level, a whole single skill-point that you can spend.
