While I was searching for some documents (still haven't found them back) and sorting out piles of papers for the trash bin, I found an old envelope with 150 euros cash in it :o)

So, as I got lucky today (could have throw the money in the bin if I hadn't opened the envelope), I want to give a chance to some folks to win a game. No big task, just write in a few sentences the last time you got lucky ;)

EDIT: GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. SEE YA!

Nice one, but I´m not in as I already own everything of that stuff: Good selection!

I'm in for Capitalism 2! Thanks!

I wish I had a good "got lucky" moment to share right here and now, but I just got highly unlucky with traffic this morning and my head is still a bit bad about it.

But I did get lucky here in these forums on a variety of occasions, many kind people here have made me a lot happier on bad days by way of a gift and a kind word. One of the reasons I like this place a lot. :)

It * is * St. * Patrick's * Day * EVERYWHERE * today

Last time I was quite lucky I won the Arx Fatalis Giveaway. 3 pages of entries. Thanks again djdarko

Not in for this one though. Thanks.

Oh my gosh, congratulations!! *bounces around happily for catpower1980* It's such a wonderful thing to find money you didn't realize you had!

I have to give a shout out to Zafehouse Diaries -- to me, it is a fantastic game~! If anyone would like to see my review, just say the word!

I have been very blessed by the kindness of strangers and friends alike, which you could consider a type of luck as well. The last time was winning Teslagrad thanks to DeMignon entering on my behalf ♥

NOT in, but thank you very much for the giveaway, and congrats again on the great find~! :D

Not in, but wishing you continued good luck. Thanks for spreading good fortune.

Not in.
You felt like this when you found the envelope?

Im in for Zafehouse Diaries

As for the luck part, to be honest, it was the last time i won a game here on a giveaway

Thanks for the cool giveaway

I'd LOVE to BE IN for King of Dragon Pass. The Cat Lady also greatly interests me, but I've yet to play Downfall and I require to play them in order.

I was EXTREMELY lucky to stumble upon the correct guess for _Slaugh_'s awesome murder mystery giveaway , and have actually been fortunate enough to be gifted (2 games from the Insomnia sale) and to have won a a couple games (the mentioned giveaway, and another random one a couple weeks ago) this past month, with it having been 5 years that I've been on the site, and a couple years on the forums and having not won/been given anything until just recently. Especially since it has been the worst few months (during winter on top of it all) I've ever experienced in my life by far, for a few really tragic reasons, it feels like the good luck has found its way in order to try and help the awfulness not be so bad. I consider that pretty damn lucky! If anyone thinks I shouldn't try and get the giveaway because of my previous luck, that is fine and I will withdraw. I do feel like I perhaps shouldn't enter for any giveaways for a little bit, but I can't passup the King of Dragon Pass giveaway!!! I have been playing Papers, Please and loving it (my GF has been too, which is great because the horribleness also involves her - ugh!), and King of Dragon Pass actually seems similar yet completely different. Anyway, a bit long post, but I wanted to share how lucky I've felt and give the contrasts as to why!

I'm not in, but I would like to see your review please, its a game I have been interested in on and off, but could never pluck up the courage to buy it, seems too labour intensive...or is it?

it's not very "labour intensive" as the interface and the gameplay is really intuitive and can be grasped in 10 minutes (although to get the "subtleties", you will need a few playthroughs). The "choose your adventure" crossed with "boardgame" is very simple and can be played casually. Also, along the updates, the game got some adjustable difficulty settings so you'll be able to eventually see the end (I never did since I only played the early version, when the game wasn't even on steam and gog ^o^)

Thanks catpower, I was just basing my opinion on the reviews here, it seemed like an exercise in frustration, thanks the extra input :)

I'm in. Thank you +1

For Harvester.

Last time I got lucky:
On two occasions I have found a $20 dollar bill on the ground on the street outsite in a commercial area. Once when I was a kid back in the 90s, and once in the mid 00s. In the 90s, I think I went to the store and bought a huge squite gun, in the 00s I think I took my friends out to eat. Good times.

ZAFEHOUSE DIARIES:

Music, Sound, and Special Effects can all be disabled. Windowed mode is default, but it can be stretched to widescreen. It worked great for me in full-screen mode, but when Alt-tabbing out of the game, everything looks bigger than it's supposed to be. Results may vary~ Big smile When you make changes between full-screen and windowed, you'll have to exit the game and re-enter for the changes to take effect (or at least I did.)

There are three different modes of play: No Survivors (Easy), Road Kill (Normal), and Deadline (Hard). Each difficulty is clearly explained when you start a new game. What I didn't realize until writing this review is that there are also options for difficulty. There are a lot of choices, so I'm just going to give you the visual effect.

Now that we're done with the boring stuff, let's get to the game, which is... boring?

WHAT? Boring? Hell no! Every time I looked at Zafehouse, I thought it looked interesting, but those screens... They just looked so... Not fun. I couldn't have been more wrong! I've enjoyed every aspect of the game.

I really like the music and the sound effects, as really help to set the tone, and sometimes let you know that you're in trouble, too!

The graphics are a bit stark and simplistic, but that works with this game, in so many respects. This is a world overridden with zombies, and those "boring" graphics just WORK with the theme.

There is a lot of reading to do, but in small chunks that bring you deeply into the story without overwhelming you with walls of text (like my reviews? Hmm... Hmm... lol~ )


The way the game is played is pretty simple, but when you're new to the game... What the hell am I doinnnnng?? I don't know about you, but I don't want to read a game manual, I want to play! It's this that finally got me to wanting the game:

Let's Play - Part 1

I highly recommend checking out this series. Just the first video will give you the basics of gameplay, but I kept watching because I found it fascinating seeing how different the guy's choices were as compared to the ones I'd have made. If you watch the video(s) it will be obvious, but just in case, here are some basics:

Each character is assigned a symbol, and you can move the characters to different places by picking up the symbol and dropping it somewhere else on the map, board game style! When you send a character somewhere, you have three choices: Investigate, Breach, and Assault. Investigate is self-explanatory, but here's what the others do: Breaching means breaking into the house (or wherever). If you've chosen Breach, they're in for the long-haul, and you can't cancel it even if they realize that there are dozens of zombies in the house. ^_^; Assault means that your character is going to go and kill any zombies outside of the location, and whatever they can kill through the windows, too, if they have ranged weapons to do so with. Just choosing one of these options is not enough!! TIP (because it's not immediately clear that you can do so when you're playing the game): Be SURE to take some items with you! If you're investigating, maybe take a flashlight and/or binoculars, if you're assaulting, weapons are a good idea. When you're breaching, you might need something to help you break into the place!

This is a permadeath game... kind of. When you first start out, you'll make a lot of mistakes, and have to start over again quite a bit. That's all part of the learning process! At some point, though, you're going to get vested in your characters and want to save the game. Well, you can save the game... after all, how much fun would it be if you could never turn off the game and do other things? Thing is, if all of your characters die, that's it, you can't reload... BUT, as long as ONE character is left living at the end of the turn, you can reload as many times as you like. XD

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time in the game, and highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in this type of game. ^__^

Don't mind me, I should not have posted here :)
