A space oddity you won't soon forget.

Pid, a gorgeous platforming adventure that tells a story of a little boy stranded on a mysterious planet, is now available on GOG.com for only $9.99.

Hush, hush. Don't wake up the kid. He looks so adorable in his little hat and that tiny backpack. Poor thing. There's so many wicked things around, that will scare him, bully him, and won't let him go home. This forsaken planet of ours is no place for little boys. He must have been displaced, somehow. Lost. Oh, how hard it will be for him to find his way around the forgotten cities, abandoned plants, and giant machines. Let's not disturb him for now. Try not to make that squeaky noise with your rusty old joints. Let's just leave silently and let him sleep a bit longer. Hush, hush. He's going to have such a hard time when he wakes up.

When the veteran game makers that brought us Bionic Commando: Rearmed decided to form a new studio and create a fresh, original platformer with unique mechanics, artstyle, and music, Pid happened. It's an amazing adventure that takes you to one of the most endearing gameworlds ever created. Sporting innovative mechanics that allow you to influence your surroundings in ways never before seen in a 2D platformer, it's bound to become a worthwhile entry in the genre's hall of fame. Think about such games as Limbo, [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition]Machinarium[/url], and Shadow Complex--Pid feels and looks a little bit like each of them, but in a unique and non-derivative way. The game supports cooperative multiplayer, so you can enjoy its eccentric beauty with a friend--or maybe even your very special Player 2.

Are you ready for a strange adventure in the dreamy landscapes of the forgotten planet? Take your protein pills, put your helmet on, and grab Pid for only $9.99--Windows and Mac!

tburger: Is this extra release or that counts for Thursday's one?
We're still releasing games on Thursday.

Kunovski: that's just because they're all indies lately ;) see the latest OLD releases: Dangerous Dave, Medal of Honor, Bioforge, Blitzkrieg II, Powerslide - they are various genres...

but in the meantime you get tons of indie adventure games and platformers as an (optional) bonus :o)

EDIT: in the GOG wooden days there were times when we got ONE release a week, sometimes not even one, so there were like 3 games released a month here :) it's better now, isn't it?

thebes: That's what I meant, just lately. I was happy to see Blitzkrieg 2 and Medal of Honor though I have never played them because to me they are new games. Just would like to see more old school. I will just have to wait......
Dangerous Dave told me he doesn't feel old school enough for you :(

Kunovski: come on, guys, this game came out just today, and it's even Wednesday so not a regular release :)

thebes: I'm not hating on the game. I know there are a lot of adventure game lovers out there. It just seems that's all we have been getting lately. Besides GOG should bring out a new game whenever they get it ready, as soon as it's out they start making money right?
It's a platformer. Just saying that it features an adventure doesn't mean that it comes from the adventure game genre. Just like saying that Legacy of Kain features puzzles to solve does not make it a Minesweeper clone. Just sayin'!
