JudasIscariot: It's a roguelike, dude. It kills your save every time you die although they modified The Pit a bit in the DLC. For example, you can bank experience and items in certain rooms that appear about evety 5th floor, IIRC. So it's kind of a hybrid of a classic roguelike save system where death means your save gets erased and check point saves, The item/experience banking rooms are optional.

Hope that helps :)
Judas, what happened with your 'Play with Judas'? I'm really tempted to pick this one after watching your video :)
Now, make one on The Cat Lady and I'm buying The Pit. Do it. For GOG.
:)

So the final judgement is "buy five games for just yourself OR just as a total gift" then. Ah well, I guess I'll pad my two games with two I already have on other services and one I might conceivably like. Sorry, I was hoping to give away Amnesia or Driftmoon.

Not meaning to complain too much though, as this is still a nice start for the GOG birthday celebration, and a great offer for folks who don't already have a lot of these titles. I'm hoping the next unveiling is either new stuff or some of the titles from my wishlist.

FlamingFirewire: Would any of you consider Miasmata being good enough to kick any of these games off my list?

Primordia
Evoland
The Cat Lady
Penumbra Collection
Dyad
Played them all, here's my Best to Not-so-great list.
1. The Cat Lady - one of the best horror stories I've ever encountered in books, movies and games.
2. Primordia - what sold me to this game was a droid who put on clothes for some reason. Good, deep philosophical tale with little bits of humour. Go for it.
3. Prenumbra - two first parts are the top of survival horror. Like the genre - don't hasitate.
4. Mismata - another survival horror. Lots of survuval, not so much of horror.
5. Evoland - very interesting concept, medicore execution.
6. Dyad - plain weird :)

joppo: snip
Be aware that a few quick tests show that the gift codes are one use only, so no splitting of the bundle :(
Unsure if that is a deliberate change or the server gnomes have been hitting the grog again, so either wait for a blue to answer the question, or buy only games you want.

See, I want to do one for The Cat Lady but I am wondering if I should because it might spoil some of the better elements in the game. I do, however, have a Judas Plays coming up sometime soon-ish :D. And yes, it's going to be a classic game :D Hopefully, my performance will come out better this time :P

Excellent :)
And I'm sure you can pick some non-spoilerish parts... like the part that was in the demo, which is a kind of a stand-alone part within the game.
I believe in you :)

Fifth game - Strike Suit Zero or Puddle? I've ruled out everything else that I either don't own or haven't already put in the cart.

Does your girlfriend ever hope the same thing? :P

Kidding, kidding!

Like I said, I am afraid of spoiling the game for anyone as I went into it blind the day I PMed you for help with it and I don't want to take away the experience for anyone else of what I felt when I encountered some situations for the first time.

So, no adventure games in 'Play with Judas'? :( And I hoped for an episode with I have no mouth... :) //but in both cases you can show how to screw things up... and leave the good solutions for the players to find!

Well, I won't leave them out but I'd like to get better at actually doing these videos (yes, I am my own worst critic ) before I take on games with a rather ...ardent following :p

I don't have Strike Suit Zero but I do have Puddle and I do not like it much, it's a very casual game better suited for a tablet or smart phone.

So, in the next 'Judas plays' our hero will be faced with... Magna Cum Laude!
This one certainly doesn't have a following of any kind :)

Be careful what you wish for :)

*whispers* also it's "faced with" as facet is another thing entirely ... Just a helpful suggestion :P

Actually I'd love a good series where someone's ranting over bad games :)
