Adventure is his trade.

Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within, a cinematic point-and-click adventure game featuring the venturesome daredevil treasure hunter, Captain Jack Keane, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $23.99 for the first week!

Orphaned as a child and raised by the London's mean streets, he became one of the greatest adventurers of his time. Who? Captain Jack Keane! Always ready to take the risk--necessary or not--always laughing danger in the face, looking for trouble and finding more of them than anyone else could handle, and somehow always getting the legendary treasure in the end. And the girl. As the story begins, we find our hero in a Shanghai prison. Surely he'll find a way to escape and go on yet another crazy treasure hunt, but it is now up to you to help him.

Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within lets you embark on a thrill-filled journey around the world with the British adventurer full of roguish charm, who insists to be called "captain". Classic point-and-click adventure mixes with exciting action sequences in this title, to create a cinematic experience that will make you feel like a true treasure hunter. Pair that with colorful and vivid art-style, lots of good humor, and an intriguing story, and what you get is a must-have for any adventure fan!

Get ready to travel the world on a madcap chase for glory, thrills, and fortune with Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within, for only $23.99. The 20% discount lasts until Friday, July 5, at 9:59AM GMT.

Interesting one, but it will have to wait.

Nice release! I wonder if the first game will be released on GOG too?

Voted! :)

German game, but no German language? No buy for me. This treatment begins to be a really pain in the arse.

How much does it cost in germany? German games publishers are sneaky bastards, knowing adventure games are really popular in Germany, so they want you to buy their games in euros, not dollars.

For example, you have to pay TWICE that much for Night of the Rabbit than I on steam. Or even more?

GOG doesn't use regional pricing, so they strip German language from the release. Bastards.

Well, that's confusing. It has an entirely different name in Germany and I had to think for a second whether this really was the same game or simply a third game. It's called "Jack Keane und das Auge des Schicksals" or "Jack Keane and the Eye of Destiny" in Germany.

Indeed. The English translation of the first Jack Keane was...pretty bad.

Funnily enough, it's still €20 everywhere here, although DRM-free titles tend to depreciate a lot slower than DRM'd ones (and this is DRM-free to the best of my knowledge).

27,46 Euro on Amazon.de for both retail and download. Seems to be not that big difference, but you're probably right.

Stop with that already! They are not out there to get you or steal your moneyz. Maybe there a contractual issue or a publisher deal.

I'm not a corporate apologist in any way or form but it's fucking grating to see comments like these ALL THE TIME. GOG has no reason whatsoever to not include every language they can get their hands on.

I'm just guessing, because that's the case with Daedalic games here. I can't think of any other "logical" explanation of not including German language to this release.

German retail is DRM-free.
