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.
Today’s hidden gem is [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/uru_complete_chronicles]Uru: Complete Chronicles, the ultimate Myst. Initially designed to be played online. As all Myst series games this is more than an adventure game, it’s a real quest. You’re on an island exploring ancient ruins where everything has to be cracked and solved by your brain. It also features a rich character creator and either a first or a third person camera. No inventory means no pixel hunting and only the brilliant and outright oldschool logic puzzles are a treat for any fan of the genre. Even if you’re not a fan, this promo is the best chance to become one! The D’ni civilization created Linking Books, magical gates to other realms which are called “Ages”. Each one of them has a different “feel” and you must visit them all to fulfill the ancient prophecy before it’s too late!
This game features fully real-time rendered 3D graphics, complete with a physics engine which is creatively used in the puzzles as well.The whole musical side of Uru, and especially the ambient bits that complete the mysterious atmosphere, are a bigger treat than the superb graphics. Uru: Complete Chronicles includes Uru: Ages Beyond Myst and the expansion packs The Path of the Shell and To D'ni.
Don’t miss out on this Cyan Worlds hidden gem, get it now only for $3.99 for the next 24 hours!
