Get the whole cinematic 3-parter bundled for only $8.97!

Runaway Trilogy, that is: A Road Adventure, The Dream of The Turtle, and A Twist of Fate, an underappreciated modern point-and-click classic with intriguing plot, nicely written characters, and movie-like narrative, is available up to 70% off on GOG.com. That's only $8.97 for the complete set of three games!

The story of Brian Bosco and his companion Gina start off small, soon to unleash a tide of intense events that will turn a simple collage student into an eccentric daredevil detective who laughs in the face of danger. Well, it might be hysterical laughter of a madman at times, or a nervous giggle of a person terrified for their life, but he sure has a way of approaching grim-looking situations with a lot of humor. Whether he's running for his life with mob breathing down his neck, crushing in a plane on a mysterious tropical island, or faking his own death to get away from a mental asylum and clear himself from murder charges, he always manages to keep a smile on his face. Paired with terror and craziness in his eyes, but a smile nonetheless.

Runaway Trilogy is one of the most cinematic adventure game series ever made. Looking and sounding better with every iteration it ended up with impressive animation, top-notch voice acting, and a movie-worthy soundtrack it's a true gem in its genre. The games mix classic point-and-click design with non-linear gameplay elements, well-executed comedy, and a story full of of surprising turns. Brace yourselves for a non-stop full throttle mad ride through all three installments of the highly polished adventure series, coming from a team of people who make adventure games since 1994!

Runaway, a cinematic point-and-click trilogy: A Road Adventure, The Dream of The Turtle, and A Twist of Fate bundled for $8.97 until Tuesday, May 20, at 9:59AM GMT. You can also get them separately with 50% discount on one, or 60% discount on two games. Titles already owned count towards the higher discount rate.
Ah crap, not now! I just bought 16 adventure games, when should I ever play this...??

The harsh reviews on this series are almost putting a nail in the coffin for any potential buyer. I usually ignore reviews when it's just one game for 2-3 bucks but this pack is 9$ so I'm a bit at a loss here...

Maybe it was the part the most people didn't own previously.

Additionaly the most users who bought the third part during the promo, should have bought the second part too.

nonsense! that's far too logical. it must be the game cover with dat ass.

seriously though it had occurred to me that it might be people just skipping the second. I don't remember a good sale on these titles on gog though so I still found it strange. I would think that most people would buy either the first or the third if they had neither. but you're probably right. it was probably people getting all three and people who skipped 2 grabbing it cheaper.
