Paper Sorcerer, a unique-looking grind-less mixture of RPG and adventure coming with more than 40 floors of dungeons filled with encounters, treasure, traps, and puzzles, is available 20% off on GOG.com, for Windows and MAC OS X. That's only $3.99 for the first week!

I've spent mosted of my mortal life researching the arcane arts, looking for ultimate power to grant me dominion over the world of men. Always buried in books I was. It seems only fitting, that one of the infamous grimoires became my prison. Oh, those accursed do-gooders had no idea what they were doing, trapping me in here. Yes, I might be locked away… for now. But I am locked away in the place that is one of the greatest sources of magical power that ever existed in the multi-planes. I refuse to acknowledge my imprisonment! I refuse to recognize all of the strange creatures of this world as threat! They shall become my minions, or they will become my prey. My enemies might have won a battle, but the war is still raging, away from the plain sight. Sooner or later, I shall bring it back to them, more powerful than ever!

Paper Sorcerer is a stylish single player turn based RPG focused on strategy, party-building, and environmental puzzles. Fight with the skills and spells you've learned in a battle system that emphasizes strategy over grinding. Assemble a party of monsters and dark creatures to fight alongside you. Explore and solve environmental puzzles to unlock secret paths and find extra loot! A double-sided adventure, an RPG with adventure game elements. Please note that the Paper Sorcerer Mini-Guide and Artbook will be added soon to the game shelf.

Dive deep in to the fascinating and surprisingly colorful (for a mostly monochrome game) world of Paper Sorcerer, for only $3.99 on GOG.com. The 20% release discount offer lasts until Tuesday, June 3, at 9:59AM GMT.

Pica-Ludica: EDIT: Found out how to fix the inverted axis issue. Bugged out for me at first, but everything's fine now. :)
How did you fix it as a matter of interest? Thanks.

There's an "Invert MouseLook" option in the Controls menu (Title screen --> Controls). Make sure the box is unchecked. Like I said, it didn't seem to work properly for me at first, so you might want to try it a few times (maybe the malfunction is tied to the resolution and/or graphic quality settings, or perhaps to the calibration in the Controls menu, I'm not sure).

Thanks and +1 for your help :)
Hm. Looks like not much.
Bought! Looks stylish and reduced and has nice low system req's ^^ More such games, kind developers, more of low minimum system requirement games! :)
Well, I've played it for a couple of hours in the past 2 days and absolutely love it. The graphics remind me of Frank Miller's graphic novels and the gameplay is quite good although less patient gamers might find it a bit slow.
It does remind me of the old Eye of the Beholder games, and that is a very good thing. Of course I'm a skinflint so I'll wait for a sale as usual.
The reason why I had instabought it was actually that it reminded me of the illustrations in old Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone gamebooks. It looks like entering these books' universes and visual style....

Siegor: There used to be great manuals, full of of information and sometimes even short stories. But as the years pass they seem to have become an afterthought
To this day I still have the manual that came with Temple of elemental Evil and nostalgically flip through it.
Ahhh yes...I remember the manuals that came with the Baldur's Gate games. They were for all intents and purposes D&D books...had the tables and everything. The manual for Shadows of Ahm was even spiral bound.
This game has a plot. You walk round the stylish monochrome world in free 3d. There's objects to find. Monsters show up as a weird cloud that you can sometimes avoid. Going into the cloud triggers a final fantasy style turn-based battle.

Same here. It was an instabuy when I saw those graphics in the trailer, and was brutally sent back to my teenage years. ^^

Awesome memories, all of them. I still play them from time to time, they're perfect to bring along on holidays. Fuck tablets, this is portable gaming.

This reminded me that the Way of the Tiger series ends on a bloody cliffhanger. Me sad.

I was only ever playing the standalone ones. I stayed away from all the "series" because of that.

And yeah, I still have them, although given how cheap and shitty these editions were, they're pack of pages rather than books : the cheap glue they used for the binding has long shattered...
