The Dream Machine completed
for whoever lands on this page, the game has now been posted on gog: www.gog.com/game/the_dream_machine
(Augh. Double-check a post all you like, you'll still find something stupid after hitting Enter. I obviously meant I assume the game was rejected because at the time it was presented as NOT being DRM-free.)
I emailed the game author who was very helpful and responsive. Turns out they now have a standalone DRM-free version of the game (which they make available at itch.io).
As for GoG, it sounds like the developer and GoG ended up in confusion, with GoG rejecting this title, and the dev not quite understanding the reason given (I'm going out on a limb and assuming that at the time this was because the game was presented as being DRM-free).
If any GoG moderators are listening, please reconsider, the game is now DRM-free and would make an excellent addition to your catalogue of adventure games. Otherwise, for anyone landing on this page hoping to play a DRM-free version of the game and finding out in disappointment that it is not (yet) available to GoG, be advised that (for the moment, at least) it is also available for sale at itch.io.
PS. For anyone that is interested, I have managed to install the DRM-free version on Linux via Wine with no extra tweaks required, and it plays smoothly and beautifully!
This is a very solid puzzle game with, quite frankly, one of the best narrative I've seen in games. that's been worked on for a long long time. The developers care about it, they fixed pretty much every gripe I had with it on release. Now the game is complete, I feel it should totally be on GOG. There's no reason to not let it on, it's not a shoddy asset flip or anything of the sort.
Quite frankly, I'm a bit surprised it has yet to be released here. Very much looking forward to it!
Started this on Steam but as now I am not on that platform I'd buy all episodes again on GOG.
nice game just saw the wishlist here.
i have it for a while saw it at steam at sales and it looked ok
so i tried it, chap6 still needs to come then i have them all, got myself the full set at sales.
plus is you can play without the steam client needed, only need to install it and download it via the client.
So if the game could come to gog, that be easier to maintain for me
and the game is already drm free so it should fit nicely on gog.
Then i can clean up my steam games and delete these :D
Copying the game description, for those who, like me, would like to see a little more info on these wishlist entries:

The Dream Machine is a point & click adventure game made out of clay and cardboard.
You play as Victor and Alicia, a couple who've just moved into a new apartment. While trying to get settled in, they soon discover that all is not as it seems in the quiet, unassuming apartment building...
In order to differentiate it from most other games out there we decided to steer as far away from all things polygonal as possible, and are actually building all the environments, props and characters out of clay and cardboard.
Brilliant game. Here's a demo: www.thedreammachine.se/
