Limited-quantity deals round-the-clock | Tired-looking sheep.



UPDATE: Time to go to bed, everyone! It's been a fun, intense, coffee-fueled week but the sheep has finally saled on this Insomnia sale so everyone can now get their (hardly needed) beauty sleep. Or go try out those fine-looking games they snagged moments before stocks disappeared. So long and don't let the bedbugs bite. Slay them for precious XP, instead.
Remember to check your email for your unlocked freebies, and you can always contact <span class="bold">Support</span> if there is anthing you're missing.



Don't fall asleep, don't look away… heck, just give up blinking.
Prepare yourselves a cauldron of hot coffee and stock up on eyedrops! Our infamous Insomnia Sale returns with a relentless stream of limited-quantity deals, one game after the other, nonstop until the games run out. Or the sheep doze off.

We've been studying your valuable feedback on this annual event, including comments like "AAAAARRRRGHHHHHH!!!" and "Please, why won't you let me sleep?!". We took them to heart and decided that what you guys are saying is that you need more gaming stimulants to fight away sleepiness. Worry not, we're here to help.

You lucky Insomniacs will also be treated to a number of games never before seen on GOG.com as well as the best-ever deal on our crowning jewel - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (-50% after the recent price drop, that's $24.99 in the USA).


If you want to learn more about the intricacies behind this whole science of non-sleep, check out the promo <span class="bold">FAQ</span>. But don't dally there too long, because games will start disappearing before your bloodshot eyes!

The GOG.com Insomnia Sale starts Monday, March 21, 2:00 PM GMT and will run until the limited-quantity deals run out.

While counting sheep and game deals, make sure to also drop by our <span class="bold">imgur</span> page and grab your Insomnia wallpapers.

Laberbacke: I can only say it for JULIA, but I could download it (did not try the gogdownloader though) and I am already done playing. What keeps you from using Galaxy?
avatar
Niggles: I actually want to not use Galaxy until its out of beta.....
Really? I have found it to be pretty well polished so far.

Shendue: No pity gifts at all. If everything, what I appreciate about the community is that they donate indiscriminately as long as you are not a scammer of a douchebag. It doesn't matter, as long as you are a nice person, since they know that most people will eventually give back to other GOGgers if they aren't broke.

Niggles: You havent been here right times. Been up quite a few times in past few days....

Btw

Subterrain
Jotun
J.U.L.I.A

If we bought it via the sale, are they only pre orders?. There were still no valid links for downloading it via gogdownloader last time i checked :/.
I bought all three. All these games have download links and run fine. The only glitch that I experienced so far is that when I close Subterrain game it causes an error message (I can close the message and the game itself without any issues). All these games are already released on steam. So I think that they are essentially final products.

If The Witcher 3 is dragging the whole thing down then it's time to sleep.

Good night, brave souls.

Have you tried the direct links? For us Linuxers the only way + it works like a charm. :)

Doing it right now. It works. But only using it as a last resort. Didnt want to try downloading a 1-2GB file only for it to cutoff at some stage (it does happen via browser randomly in the past which is why im reluctant to use the option - gogdownloader allows me to pause and limit the speed as well - i am sharing an internet connection as well) --- why didnt GOG set up the gogdownloader links yet????

Hmm . . . The Anno 4-pack popped up with exactly 63 units for sale. Unless my browser is slow, I suspect that these 63 units are the last Annos available for Insomnia.
Posted March 26, 2016
wow that anno pack was more expensive earlier ...... last time I tried for it it was 12 for 1701......
I have the other ones ......

I saw it doing the same thing to a few games yesterday and the day before too though. Might be that a lot if people had the game in their cart and in the process of checking out, then instead of canceling the transaction, they just subtract those from the next time it comes up in the rotation.

EDIT: fix link
