A song unlike any other.

The Ballads of Reemus: When the Bed Bites, a comedic fantasy adventure with cartoon graphics and peculiar humor, telling the story of a spiritual predecessor of all of the QA specialists in the gaming industry, is available on GOG.com for only $4.99.

Out of all the clients I ever had Reemus stands out like a unicorn in a hog pen. Or, to be more precise, like a hog in a unicorn meadow. Don't get me wrong--he was a swell guy and all, trying to be remembered by the future generations, like we all do. The problem was, that by any account he should have been known as Reemus the Unremarkable. I mean, when you're just a simple bug-catcher it's not easy to catch a break at fame. Especially, if your dragon-slaying brother hogs the spotlight all for himself. Sure, bedbugs bug everyone in the kingdom, while a dragon will only munch on some sheep and an occasional virgin every now and then, but still--slaying one dragon gets you famous, while squishing a billion insects only gets you a pint of mead and a warm dinner. Not fair? That did not stop my friend Reemus, though. He took a chance and got the best minstrell in the kingdom to immortalize his deeds. He got me. Liam the Purple, the most gifted bard of the bearkind. his deeds. Turns out, his deeds weren't as insignificant as anyone thought, and I made damn sure to immortalize the heck out of them.

The Ballads of Reemus: When the Bed Bites is a fun adventure game inteligently making use of popular fantasy tropes to tell an unlikely story of a man whose destiny was not to become a hero. With fully voice-acted dialog, nice cartoon graphics, tons of good lighthearted humor, optional side-quests, and many clever puzzles, this little adventure gem is guaranteed to bring a smile on your face. Full MP3 soundtrack included!

Help one motivated bug-catcher to secure the place he deserves in folk legends and the songs sung by the tavern fireplace in The Ballads of Reemus: When the Bed Bites, for only $4.99 on GOG.com.
I think its been in bundles (including one free to newsletter subscribers IIRC)
But I used to play the freeware 'Several Adventures of Reemus' on Newgrounds so its nice to see my old friend come to GOG in a commercial title!

Hm, I can't see any reviews of this game... Has any1 already played it? :)
I've played the demo (or has it been the free version Fever_Discordia mentioned?) and it was really silly :o)
hmm, maybe I give it a try...but it was in some bundles....yupp, have it on Desura.
The file size is a little tiny for an adventure game. How long is it?
Nice, more adventure games. :)

What the hell has file size to do with game length ?
This said, the game description make it sound like nerd humor stuff, i.e. shit. Book of Unwritten Tales was enough of a miracle as it is.

No, no, you are right it doesn't. It's just that, most of the modern adventure games I've bought here or on my wishlist seem to be of a certain size, that I've come to expect that, in accordance with the amount of gameplay.

Emerald City Confidential would be one that fits this bill. Not a short game, but not very long either by any stretch.
