Welcome to relativity! Get your complimentary fez.

FEZ,an original, incredibly deep perspective-twisting puzzle-platformer with countless awesome stages to explore, is available 10% off for pre-order on GOG.com. That's only $8.99 until Wednesday, May 1, at 9:59AM GMT, when we expect the game to arrive.

[url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/fez][/url]A unique title like FEZ demands we did something special. This is why we decided to start a little weird contest, so you get the chance to Win a fez to play FEZ in a fez! That's right! We're giving away 20 FEZ fezes to people who pre-order the game. The game's puzzles are highly complicated, challenging, original, and complex, so we decided to keep the contest rules as plain, simple, and uninspired as possible. Here's what you need to do:

1. Pre-order FEZ here for only $8.99: www.gog.com/gamecard/fez
2. Write to [url=mailto:contest@gog.com]contest@gog.com[/url] and tell us why you should win a fez
3. Profit: win one of the 20 awesome fezes to give away! (We'll start shipping them worldwide on May 1st, so that's the deadline for submissions.)

See the fez here.

FEZ is a puzzle-platformer like no other. First of all, its gameplay mechanics come with a perspective-changing twist, that make every stage of the game not one, but four 2D landscapes. You'll have to use that to your advantage and figure out how to make seemingly impossible jumps. That's just scratching the surface, though. There's no telling just how many complex and original puzzles have been hidden in the world of FEZ. That might be the first game in quite some time, that will make you take notes while you play, so you can crack some of the game's secrets and understand its strange languages. There's so many layers and levels to the world you'll be exploring, that you probably won't see the half of it at your first playthrough! Pair that with incredibly diverse level-design, and charming pixel-art (ummm... sorry, trixel-art) graphics, and what you get is one of the most remarkable titles of our time. Be sure not to miss it!

Pre-order FEZ today to enjoy its mind-bending perspective-twisting charm at 10% discount! Remember, the pre-order offer lasts until Wednesday, May 1, at 9:59AM GMT

Tsugirai: A console is made for the sole purpose of gaming, when a PC is a multifunctional device made to run calculations. It can run games, yes, but that's not it's main purpose, and the diversity of the hardware makes it much harder to make a well-working experience for everyone.
Thing is, the hardware diversity is just a general issue with computers - it doesn't only apply to videogames. Pretty much everything you do for a PC will probably run, mostly, but it doesn't necessarily have to. It's just an inherent issue that PCs can't get around. However, the hardware diversity is also what PCs are strong at - basically, even if we didn't have videogames on PC and only had them on consoles, right now I would be playing Dead Island at 30 frames per second, with 65 FOV. It hurts my eyes. But I have a PC, I'm not restricted by hardware, I can afford to increase FOV to 90 easily.

That's just one of many examples why I believe it's just wrong to say 'Consoles are better at videogames' - they're not, they're just an alternative that carries its own advantages and disadvantages, just as PC gaming does.

jaron11: No, it’s not „All AAA games suck, indie games are the only good thing ever!” garbage. It’s great, entertaining movie. Grab it on steam sale as I did. ;)
All right, all right! Sheesh.

G-Doc: EDIT:
And the answer to JMich's question is: yes. That is me, accompanied by our lovely colleague, head of the product department.

Pre-ordered. I know that this game will come to Linux soon, but having seen The Indie Movie I know something about the process this Phil Fish went through. He might not be socially acute, yet the game looks fresh and challenging. That's why I support him, for having the balls..ehh Fez to bring something different and unique. I fully support that.

Is the game DRM free?

I don't want a fez. Someone make a game named Awesome Fedora.
Posted April 22, 2013
So I must first buy Fez in order to win Fez from the contest?

I think not.

nvm: apparently it's a hat I could win I guess.

I know Phil Fish has acted like a douchebag on numerous occasions, but the game does seem like a very nice puzzle-platformer which is exactly what I've been looking for. As long as the game is good, there's really nothing else I should be worrying about.

I won't even pay 1 cent for a Phil Fish game.

I don't. Has he ever done anything worse than "PC's are for spreadsheets?" Because the way gamers squawk about him, you'd think he was stumping for the Nazi party or something.

Well there was the distilled arrogance of "Suck my dick, choke on it", amongst other things

The game doesn't look that interesting to me. Maybe I'm already burnt-out from the puzzle platformer genre.
I'll probably wait til it's in a humble bundle and get it for cheap if I want to buy it at all.

I don´t usually get Indie games on GOG, but this one is hard to ignore.

I can say this game is wonderful to any gamer that enjoys platforming games AND mind puzzles (kind of ones where you need a paper and a pen to solve properly). If you don´t enjoy any of those, you won´t probably like Fez. If you only like one, maybe the other will grow on you, but keep always in mind this is more about puzzles than platforming. It´s even more enjoyable if you like sprites.

Personally it´s one of the best Indie games I´ve played. I loved nearly every bit of it. It sucks you in. If I had to say a negative thing about the game, is that like any puzzle game, it isn´t as replayable as once you know all the solutions, it´s too easy. But it´s surely one of those game I´ll end up replaying in the coming years, it´s awesome.

And that is much worse than "PC's are for spreadsheets?" imho. I don't care what he says about PC's but his arrogance is out of this world. I might try the game if it ever becomes free though lol
