This year’s Summer Sale on GOG.COM gives you the chance to play demos of some impatiently awaited games. From the dusty prairies of the Wild West to the space station floating among the stars - enjoy 7 demos of fantastic games for free.



Desperados III is a real-time tactics game with the story set before the events shown in Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive. In the demo released exclusively on GOG.COM, we meet Isabelle, a mysterious lady from New Orleans. She’s later joined by John Cooper, Kate O’Hara, and the rest of the band on two dangerous missions.



Destroy All Humans! is an open world action-adventure game about Crypto, an alien who lands in 1953 America. There, he must harvest human DNA and destroy all potential foes. In the game’s demo, released exclusively on GOG.COM, you’ll have the chance to test Crypto’s fancy weapons and even sit behind the cockpit of the flying saucer.



System Shock is a remake of a cyberpunk RPG masterpiece. As a hacker stuck on a space station, you must try to survive the machinations of the evil SHODAN A.I. In the 1-hour long demo you can explore the cold corridors of the space station and meet some of the SHODAN’s disgusting minions.



CARRION is a reverse horror game in which you become an amorphous creature of unknown origin. By consuming people around, this being evolves and becomes even more deadly. In the demo, you are tasked with escaping the research facility in which you are held.



Spiritfarer is a cozy management game about evanescence. You play Stella, ferry master to the deceased. The demo gives you a chance to upgrade your ferry with new elements, talk with its unusual passengers and… spend some time fishing.



Vagrus - The Riven Realms is a role-playing game with strategic elements. The game’s prologue serves as an introduction to the dark fantasy world of the game. It puts you in the shoes of the caravan leader leading his crew across a dangerous land to finish various missions.



Cris Tales is a beautiful indie game with all the best qualities of jRPG. Join Time Mage Crisbell on her journey across a world facing a grim future. In the demo, you witness the beginning of her adventure, as she’s meeting new friends and learning basics of time magic art. This version of the demo has two new characters, five new enemies, and three new time powers in the new Demo Battle mode.

Do you feel the adventure calling already? All 7 demos are available for free on GOG.COM and await your discovery. Have fun and remember to download them before 15th of June, 1 PM UTC. All the demos mentioned above will cease to be available once the Summer Sale on GOG.COM ends.
I finished Cris Tales demo long ago and I will buy with no doubt. Incredible art, puzzles, combat system and Story. If the keep the desing level of the demo until the end of the game, it will be a great game.

I played carrion Demo on Steam and, unfortunately, I didn't like it, neither the idea that it raises nor the rough control that I could prove. Discarded despite what I like metroidvanias.

I have my doubts with Spiritfarer, I will give it a chance with de demo.

I want to try Destroy all human and Desperados 3 especially.
Ghostrunner needs a demo on GOG too preferably before release.

Wait, so the demos will be removed directly from the library?

Whether or not they'll be removed from the library, all I can say is "WTF?"

Making demos a limited-time thing is one of the most idiotic marketing decisions I've ever heard of.

(I'm reminded of some of Gordon Freeman's commentary about the decisions made by the great minds at Black Mesa in Freeman's Mind.)

Limited time demos?

Yea I wont bother then.

I could try Carrion demo, this seems like a fun game!
Hmm strange but I'll bite.

Zoidberg: Limited time demos?
No, limited time that they're available for download. Once downloaded, there's no time limit.

Anyway...
I just tried Destroy All Humans! I fun game, just like I expected it to be... I don't need demos to know what games I like / are good, but I like that could try it out before release anyway.

The System Shock Demo has controller support but shows mouse/kb controls on-screen...

I've just tried it for a few minutes - I'm still unsure which one I like better, this one or the previous demo.
Apparently you'll be able to carry over your progress/saves from the Desperados III demo to the the full version.
Quite the head start with the demo giving you access to the tutorial level and the first two missions.

Took the Carrion demo for a spin yesterday, and it's just as enjoyable as the description makes it out to be.

Now if CDPRED could top it off with a demo for Cyberpunk 2077, that'd be great.
Just grabbed the System Shcok and Desperados demos.

Totally agree with that. I missed the opportunity to try the demo on Steam, damnit.

Nice, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun did that too.

Vagrus, seems interesting. Also Desperados III, System Shock. Maybe Carrion.

Why?

Since the games are from different publishers, it's probably a GOG decision, so… why??

I don't like this one bit better than any other kind of limited-availability thing, even if it's "just" a demo. It makes no sense in a digital store.

I concur with the commenter above, this can only be described as idiotic – demos are a marketing tool, after all.

Let me join you in chorus. "WTF" indeed
Did the marketing people lose their brains? Did they smoke rotten weed? What do they think is an improvement over a scenario of demos that stay available?

I wish they come and explain where does the magic fairy that will make it so no one will get curious about these games ever again guards her magic wand.
