A puzzle inside an enigma inside a puzzle inside an enigma inside a puzzle.

Stacking, the unique multi-layered and puzzle-packed political adventure from Tim Schafer's Double Fine team, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $5.99 for the next 24 hours!

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/stacking][/url]Dystopian societies, enslaved nations, totalitarianism--gamers are no strangers to the grim, enslaved worlds. Stacking, however, presents this setting in a very unique way. The workers are being exploited by the ruthless industrialist known as The Baron. We're talking things like child labor and life ruining debts here. You are Charlie Blackmore, the youngest and smallest member of the Blackmore family. It's up to you to put an end to this proletaryat exploitation and free the other Blackmores from the greasy hands of The Baron.

In Stacking, you are Charlie Blackmore, the youngest and smallest member of the Blackmore family. Your tiny size comes with a big advantage. In a society of matryoshka dolls you're the one who fits perfectly inside other citizens, gaining control over them. It's up to you to put an end to this proletaryat exploitation and free the other Blackmores from the greasy hands of The Baron. This game offers much more than just original mechanics, and you'll have a great time uncovering its secrets layer, after layer, after layer.

This game is so fine, it's Double Fine! Find out why, get Stacking for only $5.99. The Gem Promo 60% off discount offer lasts until Thursday, May 29, at 9.59AM GMT.

Let's be hopeful : the more money they get, the more chance the second chapter of Broken Age actually gets to be an actual "classic point-and-click adventure". Right ?

Right ?

Please...

I don't play adventure / puzzle games, but I will take one to support good developers, although they are not so good with their financial management..........
Nice :-D Another one that I can scratch off the wishlist!

It's a decent small game but quite unimpressive like most of what double fine makes, unfortunately.

Nice promo, another Double Fine title.

Niggles: Oh come on first Psychonauts and now this?. Do Double Fine need more money or something?.

Erich_Zann: They probably need the extra cash to design the puzzle for Broken Age.
Zing!

jadeite: Shouldn't a stacking promo contain more than one game?
Zing 2!

Might pick up Brutal Legend if it gets a sufficient enough discount.

How did DoubleFine go from a widely acclaimed company with a well-liked Tim Schafer to the subject of harsh criticism it is today?

As far as I'm concerned, about the moment the first act of Broken Age, the new "classic point-and-click adventure by Tim Schafer" (advertisement complete with DOTT screenshot) got released, and subsequently finished in 3h including dinner time but sadly excluding any puzzles whatsoever.

Then again, I don't care for DoubleFine as such ; only played Psychonauts and while it was mildly enjoyable, it's really not my kind of game.

I need to actually get around to playing this, I've had it for quite some time.
This game looks cool, but I'm really not sure if I understand the gameplay. Is it like Messiah or something?
