Alder's Blood is coming soon DRM-free.

Alder’s Blood is a stealth, tactical turn-based game set in a grim world, where nature stood against the humanity and repelled civilization. Use wide variety of weapons, stay in the shadows and prepare deadly traps to survive in combat!
Talk about a dark setting... Wondering about background though, which particular god, what sort of battle with nature...
... And also whether the typos seen in screenshots are telling of what will be found in the released game. "don not" (guess they couldn't decide between don't and do not), "breech" instead of breach, that square character instead of apostrophes (wrong charset?), becomed instead of beckoned, found instead of find, hunter instead of either a hunter or hunters, as the case may be... I mean, damn, that's just in a few lines of text seen there!
So, this is some kind of mix between Vampire Hunter D, Van Helsing, Solomon Kane and similar + tactical gameplay? Hmmm... interesting concept.
not to rain on this parade or anything [it's good that folks are releasing their games here.]

but...

...good grief. gog turned down inkle's heaven's vault, because they felt it was too niche, but it was wonderfully written [like 80 days] and yet this game - typo's and all - makes it through, the curation process, no problem?

i love you gog.

but get your stuff sorted out :P

Two particles where they shouldn't be, two missing where they should be, and a typo.

GOG: This is the type of language I expect to find in a hastily written phishing e-mail. I expect better from you.
I'm a sucker for grimness and the Western style! Wishlisted.
Definitely interested in picking this up though. Can't have enough grimdark turn-based tactics.
Hope Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones makes its way on here too.
A game to keep absolutely an eye on, the atmosphere is fantastic.

At least they're doing curation.

I'd rather have a perfectible curation than not at all.
This looks interesting. Gives me a sort of Hard West meets Sang Froid vibe. But yes, those spelling and grammar errors are egregious (and I'm not just talking about GOG's announcement post). Definitely hitting the wishlist with this one.

Are you a grammar teacher or what? :P

I guess localization won't be this game's strongest point, but it looks really interesting anyway.

Cough, cough ...
Interesting setting. Wishlisted for now.

I believe he was referring to the fact that GOG's curation process initially turned it down.
