Mogdaus: For those who own the GOG versions, they can patch them with German audio but then are forced to German subs - a problem for me 2 years ago.
Yozu can also use the German language patch from here without having those side effects if you already purchased the game(s) here. However I don't recommend doing so if you haven't puchased the game since we should not support missing localisations - especially not when EVERY OTHER STORE offers the game(s) with multiple languages.

I bought em on GOG before I started learning German. Then I wanted to play them again in German but the patch had German subs only and 2 years ago that was too much for my beginner level! So I had to rebuy on Humble, kept the DRM installer ad could gift the Steam keys at least. I'm not sure what the link is specifically, it opens in the last page of the thread, I remember I patched the GOG game with the Compiware patch I believe, and it was FULLY in German.

Memoria - German Patch (ca. 417 MB)

Download: CompiWare-Forum

Nach der Installation des 'German Patches' ist das Spiel komplett in deutscher Sprache. Sowohl die Menüs, als auch alle anderen Texte, Stimmen und Videos sind lokalisiert. Außerdem liegt das deutsche Handbuch in PDF Form bei.

I still like having games here rather than elsewhere and "owning" the GOG installers, but I am disillusioned at GOG, at Daedelic, Amanita, Cinemaware, Spiderweb and many others. Where The Water Tastes Like Wine still missing German and Chinese and not updated in 3 years..
Chains of Satinav and Memoria are good though, expecially the latter, that is both prequel and sequel. Just consider that
1 the English voices are not very good, annoying even
2 the German dub is much better, even if you don't understand German you can follow along with subtitles from other store's versions.
3 the publisher makes up excuses not to update the GOG installers with the German audio, but eventually I think that is the same reason why Nomad is not publishing more titles on GOG, and Luftrausers and many games here are never receiving updates: the devs don't care, the pubs don't care, and GOG itself doesn't care. As long as we can be squeezed for old games that before have been gifted and bundled for few cents elsewhere. I'd better stop ranting.
I'm sorry if I sound too negative, yeah it's first world problems, maybe I just cared too much about a videogame shop.

To close on a less negative note, might get The Gateway Trilogy, I enjoyed The Dream Machine a lot.

Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love - Revolutionary Edition that includes the OST and the art book is cheaper than the Standard Edition. :)

Dogmaus: Right now with 6 euros you get Pillars and other 11 games on Fanatical.
You were referring to the Omega Bundle, right? I see, only $6.49 for 12 games thanks to my regional price. Sure it's cheap as hell, but I hesitate to purchase even at a discount rate this high (96% off) because I can only activate them on Steam. Guess my DRM-Free vibe is too strong to pick up a good bargain XD
Thanks for the heads-up anyway.

MarkoH01: Just in case you don't know. I recommend buying Satinav and Memoria on Humble when they have a sale. The games are DRM-free and multi-lingual (including German).
Know I remember it was yours and Korotan's advice I took so I bought them on Humble last year :p
It doesn't bother me much buying games else where as long as I can actually own them. Still it's a pity that there are games lacking of their original languages on GOG.
Here are some for example:
AquaNox - German
AquaNox 2: Revelation - German
Sacred Gold - German
Star Wolves - Russian
Elven Legacy Collection - Russian
NecroVisioN: Lost Company - German
You can find language patches for some of them on the website (or maybe on their forums here).

Yes, the Compiware patch is the one I have on my list (which I linked to) as well - it is the one I recommend.

True. The CEO of Daedalic, Carsten Fichtelmann himself talked to some of the community back then and he promised to get to the ground of this and make this right ... then the contact ended. GOG might even care but they do care more about not losing their "partners" completely and therefore they don't force them to do anything. It is no wonder that with this constellation the customer is the one who will have to suffer whenever the publisher does not care enough.

What you say is true and this is the forum of a video-game shop, so it could not be more relevant imo :)

The game is all right but don't expect anything like the Dream Machine. It is also very minimalistic and a big part especially in the third episode are repetitive logic puzzles which might be fun but which can also get annoying after a while. On the other hand - the devs still support and update Dream Machine and they are afaik just two people, so supporting them ist probably not the worse thing to do :)

yep, I'd like to support, they are keeping the Dream Machine updated here and I appreciate. I was buying it episode by episode on Steam then I quit Steam for GOG and never got the ending there. I was happy to finally have it here as a complete game, and know that when I want to replay it I will find it upgraded, bug fixed and expanded. I like puzzle games so I could toss a coin :)

Yes, I like DRM free too but I'm tired of these huge "DRM-free taxes" "GOG taxes" when games are given away for cents elsewhere - also DRM free on Humble sometimes.

Marko is one of the main curators of that list and OP of the related thread :)
