The Samaritan Paradox, a hand-drawn indie point-and-click in the best tradition of adventure gaming classics, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.99 for the first week!

A famous writer has died. His daughter seeks the help of you, Ord Salomon, to find his secret last novel. During the search, questions will emerge. Did her father really kill himself? What is the secret novel all about? What is going on at the island of Fardo? Crack codes, decipher secrets & find a lost fortune in this exciting detective adventure, with retro style hand-drawn art, 2000+ voice lines, 60+ rooms to explore, 20+ characters to talk to, 1 lost fortune to find!

The Samaritan Paradox is set in Sweden in the 80's. Ord Salomon has agreed to help Sara Bergwall find the book her father, Jonatan Bergwall, wrote before he died. During the course of this treasure hunt, he learns that Jonatan was investigating the weapons industry, and more specifically some covert affairs with foreign dictatorships. But more questions arise. What is the book about, and why does Sara want Ord to find it for her? Did her Alzheimer's-stricken mother know the secret before she grew too demented to share it? And how did Jonatan actually die?

If you're in the mood for some classic point-and-click adventuring and you value traditional approach to that genre, you can't go wrong with The Samaritan Paradox, for only $7.99 on GOG.com. The 25% off launch promo offer lasts until Friday, April 25, at 9:59AM GMT.

MoP: Nice, the Screen7 lineup is looking better and better; they just need to develop a franchise of their own now to officially become the "UKs WadjetEye".
Btw, for the fellow disc jugglers out there, they're going to be offering DVDs of this (like they did with the Cat Lady).
Screen7 should just have Remigiusz Michalski on call 24 hours a day to make adventure games :D

Woah, GOG, you've been showing some love for point & click adventure fans, this week! :D

Who would have thought, some years ago, during the FPS boom, that a time would come in which the p&c would rise again... hooray for indies, is all I have to say.

And thank you, GOG, Screen7, Revolution, Daedalic, Wadjet Eye, Double Fine, Big Finish, Nordic/Adventure Company, Microids, Anuman, Deep Silver and all the many more I'm forgetting. Thank you so very much.

Looks interesting and I like the art style but I'm looking for reviews/player feedback before buying since I've never heard of it

Another one I've never heard of.
Looks like another AGS title, I'll wait for a sale before I get it since I have a ton of adventure games in my backlog but unless it's really bad I'll definitely get it some day.
