Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

Bought SS2, never played it before, never even seen it before. I'm probably going to crap my pants many times when I play it, as I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to horror games, but what the hell. :D

nijuu: was there anything between Blackwell and SS2 ?
Nope
Thanks for the replies guys, I had a vision in my dream :P

Faeja_Vu: With how much raving I see about this, I guess I'll have to add it to my wishlist. Question for it, would it be recommended to play the first one before this, or does it not matter?

Lotus69: No need. First one is much tougher to play due to its age. Get any of the mods that improve this game and you should be good to go. Focus on story and environment. The audio is still really great. I think this was done with Unreal 1 so you just have to live with the blocky AI but that's a minor gripe for such a great game.
It certainly looks like the unreal engine to me.

Thanks for the input everyone who replied. I'll keep this a bit higher up on my list of games to get.
Just need Thief 1 or AC1 DC to go up and I'm done

In the meantime I snapped up Stronghold HD and Divine Divinity from the weekend sale :)

Only pain and suffering...

itchy01ca01: SO TEMPTED> But already have it on steam :P
Me too, but I bought again here, it just because 2 dollars for DRM free stuff like THIS stuff should be bought more than once.

Ungunbu: some1 gift me ss2 in exchange u'll have my eternal gratitude

DubConqueror: I think you got mere seconds to PM your email, so I can gift it to you.
Why would you need his e-mail

israr665: Has Dont Stave showed yet ? I fell asleep :(
only as Free which demoralized me. However still a chance out there to get it at sale price.
thanks guys

Lotus69: I own the CD version but bought this as a backup and the extras :) Thanks GOG!
I did that for Icewind Dale 1-2 and Baldurs Gate 1-2

Was Blackwell the new Jack Keane Sequel?

Jack Keane: Secrets of Blackwell perhaps?
I can not believe, I am actually waiting for games to buy, just because it is cheaper. :D
GOG staff should release some statistics (how much copies have ben sold, how much money people spent etc.). It would be intersting.

Beelzebubb: Why would you need his e-mail
When I tried buying it as a gift, it asked for an email of the one I want to gift it too.

Or is there an option to continue without immediately telling whom you want to gift to?

foxworks: But DRM-Free is worth $2 right there.
I would but worried about my CC taking too much of a hit on this sale :(
