Put your costume on, John!

Costume Quest, a true to its roots RPG disguised in a colorful outfit of a cartoony Halloween adventure, is now available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.49 for the next two days!

Ah, to be a kid on Halloween! On this one special night the veil between reality and imagination was lifted and anything could happen. The world was full of strange creatures, dangerous monsters, and incredible adventures. The best part was, however, becoming someone you were not. You would put on a Jedi costume, and felt like the fate of the galaxy rested in your little hands. You would become a Knight of the Round Table, and never minded the fact, that your armor is made of tin foil and cardboard. You would strap on a vacuum-cleaner proton pack and a brown jumpsuit and go hunting ghosts in the alleys. On that one night ghosts, dragon, and Sith lords felt real too.

Costume Quest, created by Tim Schafer's Double Fine, tries to capture the spirit of those nights when you were a kid, and everything felt real to you on Halloween. With traditional RPG mechanics, including turn based combat, it tells a story of a group of kids on their incredible adventure. Rescuing your kidnaped sibling is a true quest when you're 8 years old, and even more so when the neighborhood is infested with all sorts of monsters, brought to our world by magic. Luckily, you have the special powers of your costume to help you on your way!

It's time to go trick-or-treating, so dress up and conquer your neighborhood in Costume Quest, for only $7.49 until Thursday, November 15, at 10.59 AM GMT.

Roman5: ....

So who can solve this first?
Ok no idea what happened there
Dammit, I held out on the Double Fine games for so long hoping I'd see them on here (because I have Psychonauts on GoG already), then I lost hope and bought them on steam during the summer sale.

Oh well, I'll buy this again at a (heavy) discount somewhere down the line.

patthefatrat: At the end of the promotional video: "Now available for XBox Live Arcade and Sony Play...". :-)
I noticed it too. It made me smile :).
Great! I reckon it's only a matter of time before Stacking gets a GOG release.
Halloween, missed it by that much (visualise by thumb and forefinger with a slight gap between). Bit of a trick that they didn't treat us at Halloween with this one.

morciu: Yeah nice timing gog, you made some generic sale during halloween and now 2 weeks later you release a halloween game, genius. I have to say that that was the most moronic holiday sale I've seen yet. I do love you gog and I'm telling you this because I love you, this is really stupid.

Fuzzyfireball: That sale seemed pretty popular to me.
some people just can't handle halloween without halloweeny sales :) if I were GOG, I'd make an extra Christmas sale in summer! :D
Bought it on Steam, so I won't buy it again, but it's a nice little game. Oh, not as good as Psychonauts, but definitely a very charming adventure, of the right length! Loved it when I played it!
I haven't heard of this one but it looks good enough for a try out, even if it is past due by 2 weeks.
The gamecard mentions Stacking, can we assume that will be coming soon?
Bought this on Steam during Halloween.

Bah got this game on Steam during the holiday sales in 2011 ...

On wishlist for now and will probably pick it up here at some point...

Not sure about $18 but it's certainly worth the $7 for those who haven't played it yet - a thoroughly charming little adventure.
It's good to see Double Fine on GOG :)
Already got this from Steam and sadly it doesn't run smoothly on my rig, but anyway, kudos for bringing more Double Fine games here, and with multi-language support on top of it. Would have been an instabuy for me under different conditions!
I actually enjoyed this game despite some of the (valid) criticism levied against it. There's enough humorous, Saturday Morning Cartoon dialog and charm to carry the player through the adventure, and I found the art style and aesthetic endearing to my inner child. If you can stomach some repetitive battle mechanics, this game will surely put a smile on your face.
