Maighstir: I'm not into horror/survival-themed titles, so Slender, Amnesia, Penumbra, Miasmata, Lucius, and Zafehouse are out.

Removing what I already own, that leaves Tiny and Big, Signal Ops, Shattered Heaven, Dyad, and Omerta as valid options for the last pick. Help me decide here.
Miasmata is more an exploration game than a survival, it has survival aspects but it's not as much as the others you mentioned. I would recommend it if you like exploration at least.

Tiny & Big is a wacky puzzle-action game where you use a gun to split huge objects apart to advance your missions and defeat some enemies.

Signal Ops is a multi-character, tactical FPS where you need to use certain characters with their speciality to complete your objectives. If you play on Hard you need to take your time and learn the art of patience. It's a little rouch around the edges and some aspects could have made different in my opinion but I find the execution great. (with indi budget in mind)

Shattered Haven is a Zelda-like game where you need to figure out environmental puzzles and defeat enemies with frontal assault or sneaky tactics with certain items.

Omerta is a tactical-action game where you strive to be strongest mafia figure in Atlantic City. You do this by fighting other gangster figures or law enforcement and you use some economic tricks (trading, bribes) to advance in your career. The strategic elements the game was promised is quite lacking which is the reason for mixed reviews.

Deleting undesired posts? Why?

All I did was saying that your offer is great, but disadvantageous for people owning some of the games on your list already. And I was mentioning the idea that GOG might reduce the number of games to buy from 5 to a lower figure depending on the number of games on the list owned already.

Anything wrong with saying this? Tell me!

Mivas: I'm curious - How did you find it after 6 days of its existence?
five years later? I have absolutely no idea :D

There are only 4 games I'm interested in, I thought I'd buy Miasmata again and gift it but on the checkout page it says that the whole order will have to be a gift (because I already own part of the bundle). I 'm not gonna replace it by some game I don't want and which I'm not gonna play even if it's only 2 bucks... So, what can I do here ?

Make the whole thing a gift, redeem it yourself first, you'll receive all of the games that you don't already have, then the code will have that one game that you don't have left on it, so you can give it to whomever wants that game.

Great, thanks. I was afraid that gifting the order to myself would make the codes only redeemable with my account.

FYI Stacking works great on my piece of shit OS so no tech problems there. It's worth purchasing for the oddity of it alone. Thumbs up. :D

Not a bad promo, but I already own half that list so that significantly narrows down the options of games I may want. I'm definitely interested in Omerta, Anodyne, and Puddle. Unfortunately, nothing else is of much interest to me.

It's too bad that The Pit's DLC isn't on sale.

I'll wait and see what the new releases for this week are before I make any purchase decisions.

I apologize - my first post is really there. It's on page 5, while i missed it on page 6 :-(.
Funny though (and a kind of explanation, why this happened): On my GOG page, the page numbers are missing, so I was under the impression, we were still on page 1. But when I went to the same GOG page using your link, the page numbers were there and I noticed my mistake immediately.
Where the different presentations of the same page come from, I don't know - and it's not worth bothering, in my mind.
Thanks for correcting my mistake!
