Human mind: the greatest puzzle of them all.

Ether One, a stylish and myst-ifying first-person perspective puzzle adventure in which you explore the mysterious realm existing in the depths of a human mind, is available 15% off for pre-orders on GOG.com. That's only $16.99 until Tuesday, March 25 when the game is scheduled for launch. Pre-order now, and you'll receive the upgrade to the Deluxe Edition (worth $14.99) for FREE.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/ether_one][/url]Ether One is a first person adventure that deals with the fragility of the human mind. There are two paths in the world you can choose from. At it’s core is a story exploration path free from puzzles where you can unfold the story at your own pace. There is also a deeper, more adventurous path in which you can complete complex puzzles to restore life changing events of the patients history in order to help the validation of their life. As the developers put it: The aim of the parallel paths was to make Ether One accessible to a range of skilled players. The hope was that people would be able to enjoy playing the game and solving puzzles with parents or friends, as well as immersed in the game on your own with the lights off. From a young age we enjoyed the first person puzzle games that required you to write cryptic notes on spare pieces of paper to unravel mysteries. Ether One aims to bring back pen and paper puzzle solving, whilst still being accessible and optional for people not wanting to get stuck and frustrated on the harder puzzles."

Pre-order Ether One for only $16.99 for the best value for your money! You'll get instant access to all of the game's bonus content--including all of the Deluxes Edition goodness like the full high-quality soundtrack (MP3 and FLAC) or the comics. This fantastic offer lasts until Tuesday, March 25, at 10:59AM GMT, so don't miss out!

Trilarion: Putting the soundtrack only in the deluxe edition is a bit against the traditional GOG way... but mostly I still have a huge backlog of unplayed adventures from GOG. Therefore I will have a look at this later. I like the graphics style here.

nadenitza: Hmm, what/where is this deluxe edition? I only see Ether One for $16,99, there is no deluxe editions or anything...
It will come later. "Pre-order now, and you'll receive the upgrade to the Deluxe Edition (worth $14.99) for FREE. "

Yeah, G-Doc posted some explanation on the previous page as well...

It seems kinda funny to me a delux edition at preorder costs less than a standard edition after pre-order, lol

troll-order :D

I love the graphics but the price is more than I currently want to pay for an unknown game. I don't really care about the extras as I rarely open them.

mefet: Do you know the number of pages of the comic and the artist(s) involved in it's creation?
I'm a great comic fan and I could buy the game just for the comic.
Here you go: story and art by M D Penman, colours by Andrew Tunney. There are 15 pages (12 pages of the actual content, plus the cover and the credits).

nadenitza: Heh, so we are screwed if we buy late :)
In three years it will be $3 on sale or in a bundle...

zeffyr: It's 17$ instead of 20$ here. Where did you get 35$ from?

G-Doc: $16.99 in the pre-order period gets you the Deluxe version. After the game is released said version can be obtained for $29.99 as a single package, or for $19.99 for regular version + $14.99 to upgrade it to deluxe. The latter totals up to $34.99.

Hope that helps.
It does, thank you :)

Gog, humble, who cares if the price is right :)

It's a good incentive to get people to buy the game before people actually get to play it :)

Augh, I would pre-order if I was more into adventure games. As it is they're super slow for the pace that I usually have time for. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it.

I was curious about that. My budget doesn't allow me to buy it, but it's good to know that the deluxe version will be available. The announcement was a little vague in that regard. Pre-order only things get on my nerves, but charging extra for them is fair play.

Well,that's the other reason I'm not preordering. Although, I suppose one could get it as a gift code.

So I preordered the game and it turns out it's highly revelant to my interests and highly unlikely to be "storygame" vomit and/or vaporware. For the first time in years I'm actually excited about an upcoming release I don't have anything to do with.

And you're not being arbitrarily denied any content :)

This deluxe edition has been on here for scarcely more than half a year and is half-priced at the moment. I'm guessing I'll have another chance to get the deluxe edition of this title by Xmas for a good price, well after we've found out if it's a good game or not.

EDIT: typos

Dragon Commander is one of the games high on my wishlist. Still with the huge backlog, I can't justify even the $22.5 for it right now. But around $5-6 I will be there :D
