Featuring music by Jeremy Soule.

Consortium: The Master Edition, a high-tech Sci-Fi adventure combining RPG and first-person shooter gameplay, is available 40% off on GOG.com. That's only $11.99 for the next 48 hours!

Game One of the iDGi-1 Trilogy. Taking place entirely aboard a massive futuristic aircraft, CONSORTIUM is a first person science-fiction role-playing experience unlike any other. The story begins in our world - the "real world" - where we here at Interdimensional Games have developed a satellite (iDGi-1) capable of opening a digital rift through time and space… Anyone can log on and travel through this rift and awaken within an alternate dimension from our own - the "game world" - in the year 2042.

In Consortium: The Master Edition you'll act as detective investigating an on-board murder, while simultaneously playing peacemaker to a large band of mercenaries who seem to want YOU dead. Or play diplomacy with a smoking barrel, and let the tragedies continue to mount. The story unfolds based largely on your actions. You may use diplomacy and talk your way through the entire game - never shooting anyone! OR, decide to use deadly or non-lethal force. The game features an all original orchestral score by award winning composer Jeremy Soule (available as a bonus MP3 download)!

Step through the digital rift and prepare for one of the most original gaming adventures you've ever had, with Consortium: The Master Edition for only $11.99 on GOG.com. The special 40% release discount offer lasts until Thursday, May 1, at 9:59AM GMT.

Content notice: No actual internet connection is required in order to play Consortium."

Hehehe.
I put that there so we wouldn't have folks wondering if they would actually need to be connected to the internet for a single player game :)

xep624: Are they? Maybe for Italians.... :)
Hey, it's me-a, GDoc!

I forgot to close the italic tag in the newspost.

One of these days I'll leave a "strong" tag open, sit back, and enjoy the show while you guys scream at each other in the forums :-D

rampancy: Is there a Mac version? On the front page, the icon suggests that there's a Windows and Mac version for this game, but on the game's page it says Vista and 7/8 only.
No Mac version (yet!) and front page will be getting fixed shortly. Sorry about that! :/

Acriax: Ack! I just bought it, thinking it'd be Mac-compatible. Didn't see any mac installer in my account. Went back to the homepage seconds later just to make sure I wasn't imagining things, and now the apple is gone.

But I read a month ago that they were porting it to mac. Hope they haven't forgotten.
As soon as we get the Mac version, then we'll add it to the page here :)

Nicole28: This is a surprise. I came across this game on Steam some time ago, and wondered if it'd be coming to GOG, and it's now right here. I wonder why they are calling it a "Master Edition"? Was there extra content added from the initial release?
All the extra content is in the iDGi Discoveries pack and, of course, the soundtrack :)

rodrolliv: Weeks ago, I read pretty bad things about this game, specially that it was buggy to the point of almost unplayable. How is the GOG edition as of today?
The game passed through our testlab with a clean bill of health, so it would seem that the "Master Edition" is free of the bugs that crippled Consortium's initial release.

Thespian*: Have you included Braveland in your list? (which I'm unable to find right now because of this awful memory of mine) ;)

IAmSinistar: Thank you both, I've added these titles to the One-Day Games and [url=http://www.gog.com/mix/oneday_games]GOGmix.

I may also be adding Escape Goat 2 later once I've had a chance to play it and see what the length is like.
I finished it in about 8 hours or so but they felt longer (because of some of the more devious puzzles...) :P if you want my opinion on EG2 :D

IAmSinistar: Thanks Judas. I think I barely finished the first under the time limit, and it sounds like the second is a larger game, so it probably will fall outside my parameters. :)
See Thespian*'s link and this one:

It took me 7 hours and 17 minutes :D

UPDATE: This has turned out to be a false alarm. There is nothing to see here, move along. ;)

Hi all,

Got word from the developer:

Please be aware that there is a new version of the game coming that will invalidate in-progress saves. Saves with the game completed will NOT be affected :)

Thank you for reading :)
