These pop up fairly often, so I figured it might be a good idea to have a central repository of unannounced GOG sale promos that people can post in as these "ninja discounts" are noticed.
[NEW CLARIFYING EDIT:]
For the purposes of this thread, "unannounced" means that there has been no front page news post about the discount or sale (and it wasn't mentioned offhandedly in a different news post) -- and having a "tile" in the top section of the front page linking to a promo page or individual product page doesn't itself count as an announcement (unless the game is somewhere in the main game tile "mosaic"-thing that they do on the front page during bigger sales). A mention in a forum thread (even by a GOG staff member) would generally not count as an announcement, either, unless perhaps it's a topic created by a blue, and the mention is in the first post.
This topic is only concerned with limited-time discounts on GOG itself; permanent price changes don't belong here (there's another thread for that), nor do discounts on other sites where a GOG code is included with purchase (there probably could be another thread for that).
[END OF NEW EDIT]
Currently, there are two games (with 4 store pages) that are on sale, and which seemingly have nothing to do with any other announced release/weekend/pre-order/[whatever] promos:
Grandia II Anniversary Edition (-50%) (GungHo Online Entertainment)
République (-50%) (GungHo America)
République Deluxe Edition (-50%) (GungHo America)
République Deluxe Edition Upgrade (-50%) (GungHo America)
...So, it seems to be a "50% off all GungHo titles" promo.
(OLD) EDIT: Added catalog link.
