When reason sleeps monsters are born.

Knock-Knock, a unique survival-horror adventure with puzzling mechanics, original cartoon graphics, and twisted atmosphere, is available 60% off for Windows and Mac OS X, on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the next 24 hours.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/knock_knock][/url]The developers of Knock-Knock have chosen to shed some light on the unsettling origin of their creation, on their official website: In late November, 2011, a strange and troubling event has happened to our studio. We have received an anonymous e-mail which suggested that we should produce some "unconventional" game based upon the materials attached to the letter. Such offers are a dime a dozen and most of the time they barely deserve any attention at all, however, this one seemed quite different.The attachment contained a set of 19 files added to an archive titled "lestplay". The files (snippets of text, scraps of audio recording, video footage fragments) as well as the style and wording of the message itself appeared to be rather disturbing. The surface examination did not reveal anything straightforwardly terrifying, yet we could not escape the feeling that something truly sinister was lurking underneath.The stranger was begging us to complete the project he has started, yet he also made us well aware of the risk we took as the proposed ludic situation would potentially explain what calamity befell whoever has compiled the ominous archive, thus urging ourselves to meet the same fate.

Knock-Knock is one of those games with a concept that may seem weird at first, but turn out to be really hard to put down once you start playing. In this bizarre survival horror title you'll be defending your cabin in the woods from the phantasmic "guests" that come out of the darkness and roam around the unilluminated rooms. Avoid encounters with the abominations of the dark, repair your home, and figure out how to survive a night. With twisted visuals and many interesting gameplay ideas will bring you both thrills and fun. Be careful though, it's dark in there and you might get eaten by a grue!

Some doors are better left unopened, but it would be rude to ignore monsters going Knock-Knock, for only $3.99 on GOG.com. The 60% Gem Promo discount offer lasts until Thursday, April 3, at 9:59AM GMT.
This is one of those games that I've always meant to play but never got around to. I've heard mixed things about it, but it looks really interesting and I'd like to give it a whirl
Fantastic another game i can scratch from my list.
Same here;) my List is slowly but surely shrinking !! Thank you GoG.

For the future: Please more Good OLD Games please ;)

Love the Indies but don't forget your name and motto: GOOOOOOOOOOOOG :)
I'm still on the fence, since I have trouble judging what kind of game it is ...

Btw, the system requirements say "recommended two-buttom mouse" - why "two-button"? Seems like a weird recommendation, seeing that for lots of games it's taken for granted that they use a mouse (regardless of which kind); or am I missing something here?

EDIT: Scratch that, I just realized GOG always lists "mouse" as a requirement, so "recommended two-button mouse" as minimum requirement probably just means you don't need a middle mouse button (and maybe not even a second mouse button, although it's recommended)??

from what I've seen and heard, this game looks very similar to an antient "Home Alone" game (yes, THE movie game)

in that game you had some time to place traps around the house, then the burglars arrive and you need to "last" some preset time before they catch you (you can move around of course and set more traps if you find the necessary items to do so, and the burglars get slowed down by those traps)

in this game I think it's similar - you're in a house that is being invaded by various ghosts and monsters, you need to keep the doors closed, preventing them from entering, and you hide from them and set "traps" in form of repairing / turning on lamps and lights...

but maybe I'm wrong, don't take my word for it :)

So it's some kind of 2D tower defense game with a survival horror theme? (EDIT: I guess I should start really reading the game descriptions and news posts one day ... heh.)

No, it's about as far away from being a tower defense game as you can possibly get. It's more like a horror adventure game that kind of reminds some of us of the old Home Alone game where you have a 2D perspective and you move from room to room trying to avoid the bad guys :)
Interesting release, but maybe tad too odd for my liking.
whoes there?
