As our catalog gets bigger and better every week, it’s easy to lose track of some of the awesome games that we have to offer. Of course Fallout, Baldur’s Gate, and some other of our most popular titles will always get a lot of attention, but GOG has many more classics to bring you. To help encourage you to explore the dustier reaches of GOG’s catalog, we’re going to be offering a promo on the first and third Wednesday of every month. Think of it as a curated promo on some of GOG’s favorite titles that you may not have played. Whether we’re encouraging you to explore incredible new worlds or inviting you to see how a titanic series got its start, we think every game we’re going to be offering on our GOG Gem Promos will be an excellent title, and we hope you give them all a try.

After highlighting two great shooters in previous GOG Gem promos it's time for an awesome action-adventure game: Another World known in the USA as Out of This World. Created almost entirely by one person - Éric Chahi - for Delphine Software, the game was one of the biggest hits on the Amiga platform thanks to its atmosphere, cinematic feeling, great animation and the gameplay consisting of platform, puzzle and shooting elements. The story shows Lester, a young physicist, who suddenly finds himself in an alternate world after lightning struck during his experiment. Players role is to find a way to get Lester back to "our" world. The 15th Anniversary Edition, which is sold on GOG.com, introduced a remastered edition of the original (both versions are included) and some cool materials that showed how the game was made. With a 60% discount this is an offer you just can't miss.

So grab Another World 15th Anniversary Edition today for only $3.99! The promo ends tomorrow, April 21 at 5:59 a.m. EDT (10:59 a.m. GMT).
Another 404 victim
Is it true that the game is less forgiving at higher resolutions? I installed the demo earlier and I kept dying during the first few screens. I had the resolution at 1920 X 1080. Annoyed I uninstalled it but later read a review on here that on lower resolutions, it's easier to make jumps, avoid enemies etc.

Four zero four.

I'm very pleased about the sale, this game has been wishlisted for a while.

I have Out of This World on SNES but the Anniversary edition looks good enough to buy a second version.
404'd....
After finishing the transaction, and getting redirected to GOG, indeed 404 error appears.

It's probably a typo - a quick fix is to remove

from the URL you are on after the transaction, the game will get added to your account, and your PayPal charged.

This Anniversary edition lets you play with both the original and remade graphics, and has save games instead of password codes. It's the best version hands down!

Thank you very much, stefanol! It works! :-)
Excellent! I wobbled back and forth many times about buying this one at $10, but at $4, how can I resist?
