ErekoseDM: if someone gets it and installs could they check and see if the music / ost is in the game folder Hotline Miami style?
please
I've already the game and I checked (and double-checked) for the music files, and I didn't find it.

Judging by the comments in this already, I'm wondering why GOG even bother bringing games to the site. All people do is moan and whine.

I would add something else, but whilst I do own this game, I haven't yet played it. But Austin Wintory on part of the OST? That's a good thing. Rhianna Pratchett also worked on this title, I believe, so that's another plus.

Redfoxe: Those times are over dear sir.
Those times aren't over, GOG still releases classics, they just release some cool indie titles as well. I didn't see anyone complaining that 'those times are over' in the Risen release thread, last week, and as far as I know Risen counts as a semi-recent classic. In the past few weeks they released Harvester, Summoner, Sword of the Samurai, Hitman 3, Rex Nebular, the S.T.AL.K.E.R. series, SiN Gold and quite a deal of other oldies -- these are only the ones I can think off the top of my head. They are all classics in their own right. I just wish people would stop bashing GOG whenever they release an indie, claiming they don't release 'good old games' anymore: don't fret, GOG is still the place to go in order to get great old classics, they just have more contemporary titles as well. And I, for one, thank GOG for that, as some of the recent indies they have added are simply great (Stick It to the Man, Kentucky Route Zero, Risk of Rain, Jazzpunk, The Banner Saga, Ether One, Journey of a Roach, Broken Age, just to name a few). I don't think they still hold a fixed schedule for classic and indie releases, but rest assured, at least one of each is added every week, be it on Tuesday or Thursday.

As to this game, personally I like what I see, though I don't think it'll sell that well, unfortunately. Like zeffyr said, I also think trying to get the rights to the OST would be a huge plus, since it sounds absolutely amazeballs from what I can hear in the trailer, and the electroswing really fits the mood of the game world and the frantic gameplay. Best of luck to Threaks and Beatbuddy, I hope you somehow manage to succeed in whatever goal you've set to your game! :-)

Here's the OST, though it seems a bit lacking (just 6 songs?):

The protagonist looks like a cross between Doom 3's Martian Buddy and the Napster logo.

Another adventure game? No, thanks. Hope next one is a RTS game classic.

BTW can you ask your bosses if they're going to get realMyst: Masterpiece Edition here on GOG soon? I know you can't talk about it but just ask, it's been like months, it's a crime that Steam has it and we don't, we have the regular realMyst but not it FFS!

Just watched the trailer, and concluded that it definitely isn't a game I will ever want to own. I really didn't like the music and the gameplay didn't grab my attention either.

But do we really get only one release today?

Crosmando: Just 1 game for Thurs, and it's yet another hypercolored indie side-scroller?

great...

Really? No other game?!

i just think---you´ve rejected Q.U.B.E. because you thought it wouldn´t meet your quality standards and added THIS one instead? I cannot understand that logic...

Gog needs to sell more than just 'good old games' otherwise as they've said previously (and I'm paraphrasing) everyone would be out of the job in no time. Obviously people come here for the oldies as you said, but if that's all they're going to sell then their target market wouldn't be so great. The reason I came here was for MOO3 funnily enough way back when, but now I'm over that and have fallen in love with newer indie games with a DRM free bonus. Even better I cannot wait until next year when Witcher 3 shows up on day 1, as well as Divinity: Original Sin when it comes too. Games like those bring quite a large revenue and without them I might not find Gog as desirable as it is.
