There was a mystery game in this bundle that happened to be TesserAct (Steam / Win) which looks not ugly but has mixed reviews.
Also, all the bonus got unlocked.

DIG has another reBundle with 8 rebundled recrappy games and the rebundled and given away for free Avencast as deal.

Incidentally, the latter one has sold 42 copies and I sudder to think that the question might be related to this.

What are gamebook adventures?

It's basically a choose-your-own-adventure book with rules and dice. It's also a heck of a lot of fun, as long as you don't mind reading. :)

Uff. If I liked reading I'd be checking the forums instead of playing.


Wait...

Cheers; from the link, it looks like there was no DRM-free download for it.

choose your own adventure books have rules and dice. "fighting fantasy" being the standard.

I vaguely remember some simpler adventure books without character sheets nor dice (but that was long ago).

When I was growing up "Choose Your Own Adventure" was a specific brand name of books. There were no dice or character sheets.

Those books did exist, but it was a separate concept.

I'm still jazzed to try this one though - hope it's good!

The actual "Choose Your Own Adventure" books did not have either. They were simply "choose A or B, then turn to page X or Y" type things. There were hundreds of them, and I remember seeing them from early elementary school up; I didn't encounter game books (via Grail Quest) until about high school.

ETA: CYOA link. I have very fond memories of these things. They were probably some of the most-read books in our school libraries.

sounds cool but it is a horror themed one? trailer seemed slightly vague. I loved choose your own adventure books as a kid (the book only kind)

Ha. Forest of Doom.

I owned that book 20 years ago. A man could have sixteen thumbs and still not find his way through it.

The Jackson & Livingstone books were usually nicely illustrated, though.
Forest of Doom (the book) is not horror-themed. It was one of the first books (of this sort) that they wrote, and so it's pretty standard D&D fantasy subject matter.

I was trying to figure out about Nicolas Eymerich The Inquisitor Book II : The Village not Forest of Doom sorry about that is that a game book also? not worth anything above the $1 tier for me since Forest of Doom would be the only $4 game I could use since I don't use steam.

You buy games made by Revolution, dont you!? ;P
no info on when they came out on the link though bud - my point being more a case of the Fighting Fantasy books are a genuine standard - and one that set the stage of course for the development of GW.

not too bothered either way - got a bargain, need a break from the forum evidently, lets leave it there. :)

Edit: also late here, long day, could just be me not with it, Dunno. Inabit! :)

If they ever have a Humble "choose your own adventures" book bundle I'm in. Is revolution the people behind the Broken Sword Games?

This Revolution?

Well, I got the two Broken Swords that were in the lower tier of a recent bundle and I have In Cold Blood and the frebies here but I have not played any of them yet so I did not get the joke, sorry. :-P

Never thought about publishing dates, actually. I just remembered seeing the CYOA books from about age 7 up. You made me curious: Turns out that Fighting Fantasy was first published in 1982, and CYOA started (under a slightly different name) in 1976. (Jeez, they're as old as me.) So, close together but different takes. I suspect I saw CYOA first because the U.S. tends to look at anything gaming-related as more of a niche thing. *shrug*

So, yay for learning more info to add to that pile of useless trivia in my head. *g*

Oh heck yeah! In the small town I grew up in, there were three school libraries (elementary, middle, and high school) and a town library, and at one point, I'd read every CYOA book at least twice.
