As our catalog gets bigger and better every week, it’s easy to lose track of some of the awesome games that we have to offer. We’ve been running one day “Gaming Gem” promos for a while now to highlight some classic titles that don’t get the love of some of our best-known blockbusters like Baldur’s Gate or Duke Nukem 3D. To celebrate summer, for the next two weeks until July 25th, we’re going to run a Gaming Gem promo every day, so you can rediscover these lesser-known classics! Grab that plastic toy shovel and dig out gem after gem over the next 18 days. We think every game we’re going to be offering on our Summer GOG.com Gem Extravaganza will be an excellent title, and we hope you give them all a try.

How does the conceived nick strain? The fun stare embeds the design. The digital digest joins the spit past the executive negative!

What’s that, you say? We’re sounding a bit crazy? You’re probably right. Either that, or we’re writing a description for a game about being crazy. It’s anyone’s guess what’s happening. Wifflebats!

Actually, we’re taking our one-day promos to the next level.

Our very first promo is for the unparallelled Sanitarium. A frightening look into the mind of madness, you find yourself continually wondering, as you make your way through the five worlds that your insanity takes you to: is this encounter real, or only the product of a fevered imagination? You are a recent victim of a car crash, and one who has complete amnesia. You awaken in an insane asylum, and immediately you must fend for yourself in a world gone mad—unless it’s you who’s gone mad, and the world is just a reflection of that.

With a gripping, haunting story and a graphics engine that has stood the test of time (the graphics look rather like the Infinity Engine games), Sanitarium is one of those games that grabs hold of you and just doesn’t let go. Give it a try on GOG.com for just $3.99. This offer expires tomorrow, when we’ll have another hidden gaming classic on sale, so check back in to see what game we’re offering then for your hassle dashes inveigle marpuk snozznozzle.

Madness!
Nice one GOG ... had this on my wishlist for a while now. Great game!
Hah. It's just like I mentioned in the previous message about these promos - the hidden gem promos are always good, but I already have the games. Oh well, I'm hoping for tomorrow :)

chrisw87: OK but I live in the UK and it's currently 11:16, so the deal was released 11am UK time.

TheEnigmaticT: Yes, but 11.16 UK time is 10.16 GMT.
Agreed. UK is not the center of this world :P And it is not making time standards.
WONDAERFUL game... very eerie. Excellent start to the promotion!

I recommend this for anyone who loves scary adventure gmes. ( :

I bought this ages ago, when it first came to GOG, so I'll have to pass this time round. *sad face*

Well done GOG!
awesome! I think I"ll get this as soon as I get home.
May buy it tonight
Own it already. Great game!
Damn, you tricked me into buying again. ;)

AaronAmoth: It doesn't work fine on Win7, be careful.
Works fine on my Win7 32bit. Although, admittedly, in the beginning it crashed a lot. But somehow, it fixed itself :S

Lexor: UK is not (...) making time standards.
Actually, it does ;)
Unless that was meant ironic.

Ahh! Thanks for the warning! I was already tempted to purchase it. Well, off to watching the youtube walkthrough instead :/

No UK time is not GMT, since they happen to use daylight saving time at the moment and therefore are off by an hour. Like France is supposed to be GMT +1, but because of the stupid and anachronistic daylight-saving time we're at GMT +2 right now.

Just because Greenwich happens to be in the UK does not mean they make time standards. :)

Also, Sanitarium works fine on Windows 7 for me, and for plenty of other people as well (see the Win7 thread on the forums) so please don't make sweeping statements like that just because it doesn't work for you.

TheEnigmaticT: UK time (which uses daylight savings time) is not the same as GMT. ;)

UK Time: London Time

London Time is the same as Greenwich Mean Time less than half of the year. During Daylight Saving Time, London Time is GMT+1, also known as British Summer Time (BST).

British Summer Time (BST) is in effect until Sunday 30 October 2011 01:00 GMT. The UK clocks are back on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) from 01:00 GMT Sunday 30 October 2011 until 01:00 GMT Sunday 25 March 2012.
