Featuring music by Jeremy Soule.

Consortium: The Master Edition, a high-tech Sci-Fi adventure combining RPG and first-person shooter gameplay, is available 40% off on GOG.com. That's only $11.99 for the next 48 hours!

Game One of the iDGi-1 Trilogy. Taking place entirely aboard a massive futuristic aircraft, CONSORTIUM is a first person science-fiction role-playing experience unlike any other. The story begins in our world - the "real world" - where we here at Interdimensional Games have developed a satellite (iDGi-1) capable of opening a digital rift through time and space… Anyone can log on and travel through this rift and awaken within an alternate dimension from our own - the "game world" - in the year 2042.

In Consortium: The Master Edition you'll act as detective investigating an on-board murder, while simultaneously playing peacemaker to a large band of mercenaries who seem to want YOU dead. Or play diplomacy with a smoking barrel, and let the tragedies continue to mount. The story unfolds based largely on your actions. You may use diplomacy and talk your way through the entire game - never shooting anyone! OR, decide to use deadly or non-lethal force. The game features an all original orchestral score by award winning composer Jeremy Soule (available as a bonus MP3 download)!

Step through the digital rift and prepare for one of the most original gaming adventures you've ever had, with Consortium: The Master Edition for only $11.99 on GOG.com. The special 40% release discount offer lasts until Thursday, May 1, at 9:59AM GMT.

MJVandershonk: I've looked on a couple of sites and they all say vista/7/8.

My guess is its probably a 4gb memory / 32bit thing over a DX10 requirement since the steam store page has this note:

"Additional Notes: Of the maximum 4GB of addressable memory space on a 32-bit system (2 ^ 32 = 4,294,967,296 bytes = 4GB), Windows reserves 2GB. This leaves any application (such as Consortium) with a maximum of 2GB to play with. During loading, Consortium can allocate up to 1.8GB worth of memory. If you are running Consortium with a 32 bit machine, be sure to close as many other simultaneously running programs as you can, otherwise "out of memory" crashes may occur"

ReynardFox: Thanks for the info mate.

It looks decent, but I can't imagine what about it needs such a steep overhead, sounds like poorly optimized memory management on behalf of the programmers to me.
Hopefully, I won't be running into this problem...

Can someone who bought it confirm how many tracks on the soundtrack come with the GOG edition?.

Beat me to it. I haven't bought it yet so I was going to say between 1 and 100. Now I can't be smug.

Charon121: I'm still on the fence about this one, but the price is appealing. Anyone knows how long the promo will last?
I was still on the fence, but it was becoming uncomfortable, a bit of wire was sticking into me so I got off and bought a copy. Will have to wait until I play the game to see if the act of getting off the fence lead to that bit of wire causing further injury :)

That depends on whether you fell into a bed of beautiful soothing flowers or into a pile of manure. :) But the reviews are good enough, so there's no reason to worry. I think I'll get it too.

Looks super interesting, will wishlist for now!

Ah well, I did vow to support GOG in their turn-around, as well as new devs that were making interesting games, so I went ahead and bought it. The discount didn't hurt either. ;)

As much as I want to buy I'm going to have to wait at least until the second one arrives. Paranoia sets in when a 'part 1 of x' shows up and I'm expected have faith in completion of the other parts. I don't know, it's a little difficult to explain.

Interesting.
I'd buy it, if it wasn't for the whole episodic thing. I'm not so sure I want to wait years to see the conclusion and have forgotten the journey along the way.

I guess I'll have a look if it's worth it when/if they release a second installment in the future.

Where does it say that it's episodic?

Huh, I just interpreted that as them making a trilogy of games.

That being said, I heard that this game has 8-ish hours of gameplay, which is much more generous than most other episodic games.
