Klumpen0815: Even to people that usually aren't into horror stuff (like me) I'll never get tired of recommending The White Chamber.
This game was a true experience and it is free.

seppelfred: It's a great game. They' are working on a remaster:
http://thewhitechamber.lockeddoorpuzzle.com/
First I was like "Yay, HD and Linux!", then I was like "Steam... -.-"
I guess we'll have to bugger him about GoG now.
I'll write a letter, if someone wants to do so too, the relevant email-Address is:
perrin (at) lockeddoorpuzzle (dot) com

Vote!

Eitot: I don't want to speculate or form an opinion without hearing GOG's side first. But the allegation stands that GOG stands in the way. I personally don't think that GOG would reject games purely for the reason that they are niche or don't sell well. I like to believe that there is another reason that just makes it appear as if GOG were rejecting the game arbitrarily.
Well in Alpha Polaris case that reason could be that one cutscene which appears towards the end of the game, if you happen to choose the dialog option that shows it.

This only my guess though, and maybe the real reason is as boring as book-keeping issues.


Alpha Polaris is a nice game anyways. Not a great game, but a nice one. And would fit in with the big PnC catalog that GOG already has.

Another Finnish adventure game that deserves to be on GOG is Alien Incident. I heard a rumor that it is in some kind of unclear legal situation, not sure if it's true, but would make sense.

Gonchi: GamersGate took down another DRM-Free game? That's why I've stopped buying from them, I don't even bother checking their store any more.

I have a back-up of Alpha Polaris on one of my pen drives. Not sure if it's the latest version though, anyone know?

PainOfSalvation: Dunno about GamersGate version but I can confirm the version on Steam is 1.1.0.

Devs said they will try to bring the game to Humble Bundle store (offering as drm-free) since GOG rejected them.
Thanks. The version I have is 1.0.1, but that may not be the latest version GamersGate had up.

Hopefully they get their game released on Humble as well, but I'd be more interested in them requesting GamersGate to put up the DRM-Free version back up for download.

benmar: We need more games made with the wonderful Wintermute engine. Dark Fall: Lost souls is already on GOG. Other nice games would be:
MDNA games
Ghost in the sheet
The lost crown
And others: atmospheric!
