The Dark Eye gazes upon you!

The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav, a classic adventure game with gorgeous hand-drawn graphics, set in a gritty fantasy world, is now available on GOG.com for only $14.99. That's 25% off until next Thursday, November 29, at 10:59AM GMT.

The world might be filled with magic, but for the ordinary folk it's still an obscure and frightening force. In everyday life there are only little sparks of mystical powers present, and most people don't even recognize them when they see them. Very seldom a commoner wields any magic power at all. So that little bit of power makes Geron, a teenage orphan raised by the town's huntsman, very special. He would consider it a gift, but his only magic ability is to break little things, so it seems more like a curse. The townsfolk don't even see anything magical about him. They just consider him unlucky and clumsy. But, due to some particularly nasty twist of fate, it's up to Geron to save the whole kingdom and solve a dark mystery that's been brewing right under the king's nose.

The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav delivers a story so full of nostalgia, that it instantly stands out from the contemporary crowd of light-hearted fantasy adventure games. There's little place for puns and sketches here. The world you face is harsh, and the people you meet in it adjusted to it. It doesn't mean, however, that you won't find friendship and warmth on your way. That wouldn't be a good story, if it were so.

Longing for a serious fantasy story with beautiful visuals? Don't wait--get The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav for only $14.99!
Hopefully GOG will add language packs/patches like they did for Deponia, since it's a German game.

Didn't like The Whispered World very much (controls were abysmal), so I'll pass on this one.
Damn those modern hand-drawn adventures..I'll have to buy them all at some point :-P

Fred_DM: this. come on, GOG. not only is it a German production, it's also based on the German The Dark Eye RPG universe. games don't get any more German than this.
Absolutely this!

On steam, it is a bit more expensive, but I think it will be on sale soon and you will get:
English*, French, German*, Italian, Russian

(* These languages with full voice audio)
I have more than enough adventure games to play... I think I will get is sooner or later (probably later) but definitely not now.
Gorgeous art design. I wonder if the gameplay is good.
I love the art design.

Wishlist for now
Heh, this has been on my wishlist for a while.

Not great timing for the release, however. For those who aren't bothered about DRM this is a lot cheaper on Steam right now.

Wati, it is? Showing up as €19.99 for me, which is much more expensive... if it is much less for you, let me know please that I can ask someone to buy it for me there, as I want the original german language included ;)

LIcensing problems. Always licensing problems. Daedalic's rep wasn't even sure if the game would be available at all. I for one applaud GOG's decision to release games in whatever languages they can get.

Check again, it should be at -50%. UK price almost same as EU, US price cheaper (as usual).
