Put your costume on, John!

Costume Quest, a true to its roots RPG disguised in a colorful outfit of a cartoony Halloween adventure, is now available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.49 for the next two days!

Ah, to be a kid on Halloween! On this one special night the veil between reality and imagination was lifted and anything could happen. The world was full of strange creatures, dangerous monsters, and incredible adventures. The best part was, however, becoming someone you were not. You would put on a Jedi costume, and felt like the fate of the galaxy rested in your little hands. You would become a Knight of the Round Table, and never minded the fact, that your armor is made of tin foil and cardboard. You would strap on a vacuum-cleaner proton pack and a brown jumpsuit and go hunting ghosts in the alleys. On that one night ghosts, dragon, and Sith lords felt real too.

Costume Quest, created by Tim Schafer's Double Fine, tries to capture the spirit of those nights when you were a kid, and everything felt real to you on Halloween. With traditional RPG mechanics, including turn based combat, it tells a story of a group of kids on their incredible adventure. Rescuing your kidnaped sibling is a true quest when you're 8 years old, and even more so when the neighborhood is infested with all sorts of monsters, brought to our world by magic. Luckily, you have the special powers of your costume to help you on your way!

It's time to go trick-or-treating, so dress up and conquer your neighborhood in Costume Quest, for only $7.49 until Thursday, November 15, at 10.59 AM GMT.
This looks like a game for 5 year old kids but there is something about it that makes me want to play it.

Max_R: It's good to see Double Fine on GOG :)
Double fine was already on GOG when they nabbed Psychonauts from Majesco but more titles from they are very welcome indeed
Woo! More DoubleFine. I haven't played CQ, so I'll probably pick this up. Because even if the mechanics are simple, one can always count on DoubleFine to deliver heaps and heaps of charm. :)
OOOOOH!
I saw this on Steam during Halloween, but decided against it because of... well... Steam DRM.
This is SO bought.
this is a really cool simple little rpg. The zany costume visuals make it worth it.

Same. Been wanting this a while but Steam put me off. Insta-bought!
Vote for Double Fine Productions games on the wishlist:

Brütal Legend (never say never)
The Cave (GOG needs to sign Sega)
Double Fine Adventure
Iron Brigade (GOG needs to sign Microsoft)
Middle Manager Of Justice (a PC port is planned)
Stacking

And while you're at it, you might as well vote for other games Tim Schafer has been involved with:

Day Of The Tentacle
Full Throttle
Grim Fandango
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
The Secret Of Monkey Island
Decent game, best played on or near Halloween. Quite short and has no replay value.. if you're interested in this, you should wait until it hits around $3 (maybe get it from a Steam sale or possible Humble Bundle inclusion?) or so. Not worth $7.49 IMO.

Glad to see Grubbins on Ice is included.
Got this a while back as well, and I really enjoyed it, but folks are right about it being really short and having little to no replay value. I payed about $7 for my copy on sale, and I don't regret it, but I certainly wouldn't pay full price for it. If you don't mind the short length, it is a fun little game.

Quite enjoyed this one. Sure it's short, but it's fun...which is what's supposed to matter, right?
Hopefully they support it as well as Psychonauts!

I.e. whatever updates get released, they remain bundle and Steam exclusives, while gog users maintain a special frankenbuild?

Yeah. Great support, huh?
Apparently, the Costume Quest installer uses negative compression. Either that, or it contains a bunch of data that it doesn't actually install. Or the figure it gives for how much space it needs is wrong, take your pick.
