Tex Murphy has entered the building!

Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure marks the triumphant return of everyone's favorite trenchcoat wearing, fedora bearing private detective, Tex Murphy! Thanks to the power of Kickstarter and legions of devoted fans, Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure is available now--DRM-free on GOG.com--for $19.99! (We're so happy about this that some of us are squeeing like little girls!)

The year is 2050. The place: New San Francisco. Someone has made sure that our rough-around-the-edges hero has forgotten the events of the last seven years. What appears to be the world's worst hangover is just the beginning of Tex's troubles as he tries to recollect just what the hell happened. Stuck in a maze of unsolved murders and hidden agendas, Tex must solve the mystery of his own past and that of the lost technologies of Nikola Tesla. Can Tex regain his memory in time to restore what's been lost and stop a terrifying future?

If you have a hankering for old-fashioned FMV with a modern flavor, sleuthing while dropping some pithy one-liners, then look no further than Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure available NOW on PC and Mac, DRM-free for $19.99 on GOG.com!

Important notice!
The Tex Murphy Video Contest is now CLOSED. We are drowning under a torrent of awesome entries and we will announce the winners soon!

At last, the sheer prospect of revisiting Chandler Avenue warms my heart. :)
Over 15 GB of data, it's going to take a while...

silentbob1138: GOG is aware of the missing installers and working on it according to their Twitter. I'm pretty sure we backers get the GOG and Steam version. Don't forget that they promised a DLC, DDT and DRM-free game.

StingingVelvet: The developers have said the Steam version is DRM free, and all backer keys are Steam keys.
Would the Steam version be easy to back-up? Drag and drop the files in the folder into an external hard drive?

fronzelneekburm: Ah, so you're one of the lucky beta testers? I'm not talking about the installers, I (and all other backers below beta tester level) haven't even received a gog key yet. Some admin over at the BFG forum claims that "all the keys have been sent out" (Steam keys, that is) and he is not aware of any plans to send out additional gog codes. Emails asking for a Steam/gog exchange have been brushed off.
They never promised GOG keys to backers, only DRM free versions. The Steam version is DRM free.

fronzelneekburm: Damn, should have pre-ordered this here instead of backing it on Kickstarter... Now I'm apparently stuck with a Steam code I have no use for.
it really looks to me like there was some misunderstanding in communication between GOG and Big Finish or Atlus, and things will be resolved soon (but maybe you have to wait for tomorrow as everybody from responsible GOG staff is probably at home now)

Yup.

Red_Avatar: What's up with all you people whining? Steam itself won't kill you. The bad stuff about Steam, is that they have full control over your account but the Steam version is DRM free I heard so you can run it without Steam even being turned on so what's the big deal then?
Maybe they prefer GOG. DRM-free Steam versus DRM-free GOG is no contest. GOG wins every time. I want to back them, improve their numbers. Not interested in supporting Steam.

Yes, but according to Judas GOG has indeed sent out codes for the backers to BigFinish (/Atlus, maybe that's the problem?), so there does seem to be some sort of miscommunication.

It's not, it still requires me to download their client, sign up, accept their bullshit EULA and jump through all sorts of hoops to get my hands on my supposedly DRM-free game. Thanks, but no thanks!

You have my commiserations, bro.

That is weird. They sent the GOG keys for the pre-order/beta test in March. Sounds like they forgot keys for the lower tiers. Steam keys obviously don't qualify as DRM-free. I redeemed the Steam key too and got a message that the game only works when Steam is running, so it's not a DRM-free version. Hope you'll get your keys soon.

Haha, I'm in the same boat. But I'll play this one first and then play the older ones. Never finished the first one back in the day.

If you can't see the game on your list/shelf yet, please use this link:
https://secure.gog.com/account/refresh/

All accounts with the preorder on them will be refreshed automatically soon, but using this link should speed the process up for you.
Please note that the refresh can take a while if you've got lots of games on your account.

If using the link doesn't help, please send a support ticket via this form, and we'll sort this out as soon as we can:

None of that is DRM, and most of it you had to do on GOG as well, but... yeah, I guess it would be annoying if you somehow never used Steam before.

WHAT?!? Wow, this just keeps getting more absurd by the minute!

Anyway, thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy the game!

@Pixelion

Thanks, man! Much appreciated!

Which is exactly the case for me. Thanks for trying to understand.
