It seems fine to me. Are you running any proxy? I sometimes get this if I've got Fiddler running in the background and I'm intercepting HTTPS traffic.
EDIT: And definitely DON'T change your password because of this. They are unrelated things.

Are you running ScriptNo or any other script blocking extensions? I've noticed sometimes when I'm running this Chrome sometimes interprets the blocked facebook and twitter scripts on webpages as security "holes" that make it question the SSL Certificate. Adblockers can do this as well.

Do any other sites with HTTPS also display this behaviour or is it just GOG?

GOG is safe. The question is: is that really GOG? As wpegg said, this has nothing to do with your password, so don't change it. Can you get some information about why the browser is giving you a warning? No cert, expired cert, wrong cert? I'm not familiar with chrome, but try clicking on that padlock icon.

I can confirm that it seems safe in IE, Chrome and Safari.

The first things to try would be checking for Chrome updates and making sure the list of root certificates on your system is up-to-date. If you're still on Windows XP, that involves installing this update, otherwise automatic updates should take care of it.

EDIT: Try drennan's suggestion first!
So, if other HTTPS sites are working, that suggests there is no interception of traffic. This firstly confuses me, especially in a browser that is using no extensions.
Could you do me one more favour please, and this may slightly betray your identity, but not significantly, and the data is mostly useless:
Could you open up a command prompt (start - run - cmd), then type: tracert secure.gog.com
It's clutching at straws, but the info may help.
