コンピュータゲーム好きの皆さん、おはようございます!

While we are still experiencing winter with all its ups and downs and not-always-super-positive vibes, we decided to try to change that a bit! Get ready for our Kawaii Sale – packed with amazing titles up to 90% off, full of cuteness and inspired by Asian culture.

When translated into English, the Japanese word “kawaii” means “lovely”, “loveable”, “cute”, or “adorable”. In fact, that term is used to describe the whole culture of cuteness present in Japan. It can refer to items, humans, non-humans or the thing that interests us the most – video games! That’s why for the next week (until February 8th, 11 PM UTC) you will have the perfect occasion to try out games which will sweep you off your feet with their charm, sweetness and of course great gameplay.

Let's begin and take a look at some of the examples!

The Legend of Heroes titles (up to -50%)
Amazing games of the largest, longest and most meticulously detailed turn-based JRPG series of all time. Whether you’ll play Trails in the Sky, Trails in the Sky SC, Trails in the Sky the 3rd, Trails of Cold Steel or Trails of Cold Steel II, you can expect rich and complex narratives, well-developed characters, challenging combat systems, and diverse world-building. The games offer a blend of political intrigue, personal drama, and great adventure, set in vast and immersive worlds filled with memorable characters, each with their own unique stories to tell. Additionally, their deep and rewarding RPGs systems offer players a wealth of choices in character customization, upgrade paths, and strategic options in combat. All these features, combined with beautiful graphics and unforgettable soundtracks, make for an incredibly enjoyable and immersive gaming experience.

Haven (-50%)
Open-world, story rich adventure title which revolves around one question: does love really conquer all? Yu and Kay have escaped to a forgotten planet, leaving everything they knew behind. You’ll play as those two lovers at the time when they settle into an unknown world. Explore the planet looking for parts and material to fix your ship and make it a cozy home. Enjoy moments of everyday life as a relatable couple while cooking meals, crafting and collecting precious resources to make it to the next day. Fight against those trying to tear you apart by synchronizing actions in combat, finding the perfect timing and rhythm, while controlling both characters and battling to keep them and their relationship alive. In this unexpected RPG adventure, exploration of the beautifully eerie and unstable planet while enjoying the thrilling soundtrack will make it an unforgettable experience.

Chained Echoes (-15%)
A story-driven JRPG where a group of heroes travel around the vast continent of Valandis to bring an end to the war between its three kingdoms. With its release not so long ago, it already conquered the hearts of players and critics alike. Chained Echoes’ unique world allows you to take up your sword, channel your magic or board your Mech, because in this 16-bit SNES style title dragons are as common as piloted mechanical suits. Beautiful pixel graphics, fast paced turn-based battles, complex skill and equipment system, customization of your own airship and tons of items to be looted, stolen or crafted are just a few of the amazing things it has to offer!

CrossCode (-50%)
Retro-inspired 2D Action RPG combining 16-bit SNES-style graphics with butter-smooth physics, a fast-paced combat system, and engaging puzzle mechanics. All served with a gripping sci-fi story. Prepare for exploration of a large world with 7 unique areas and hidden secrets all over the place, fight over 120 enemy types including 30+ boss fights, 7 expansive dungeons, all with with unique themes and puzzle mechanics, ability to master up to 100 combat arts and passive skills, great variety of quests and unique challenges and gorgeous music tracks.

But those games are just the tip of the Kawaii iceberg of great deals. Make sure to check all of them out HERE and immerse yourself with their impeccable and enchanting aesthetics and variety of offered experiences. There’s one thing certain – you will find a title that will become your next favorite!

With Kawaii Sale we are also stacked on special streams that will take place on our Twitch Channel. Every one of them will feature a title available within the sale. It’s a great occasion to check them out, but more importantly, we promise lots of fun, laughter and company of amazing, fellow game enthusiasts. Mark your calendars and we’ll see you in the chat! Here’s a schedule:

Jack Move with THEcroxxx on Thursday, February 2nd, 5 PM UTC.
Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp with Virtute, Glitchkraft and THEcroxxx on Friday, February 3rd, 6 PM UTC (multiplayer).
Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling with AshSaidHi on Monday, February 6th, 7 PM UTC.
Cthulhu Saves Christmas with FractalMindMike on Tuesday, February 7th, 7 AM UTC.
Chained Echoes with ArvanEleron on Tuesday, February 7th, 7 PM UTC.
CrossCode with Flaose on Wednesday, February 8th, 3 AM UTC.

When it comes to cuteness, there can’t be too much of it! Enjoy Kawaii Sale to the fullest and remember: セールで一番かわいいのは君だ! ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡

GOG.com: Kawaii Sale: get ready for awesome and super cute titles discounted up to -90%!
Into the forum with you...
I'd say Sleeping Dogs' martial arts system is certainly matched by the martial systems in the games which Sleeping Dogs cloned and which Sleeping Dogs' combat is a direct derivative imitation of, namely: the Batman Arkham games.

I'm not saying Sleeping Dogs is a bad game. It's decent. Definitely it's combat is not original or groundbreaking though.

Well I still can't afford The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd (bloody hell Japanese games are stingy with discount).

But I probably buy a DRM free copy Legrand Legacy if I have some to spare before the end the sale. Shame Celestian Tales: Realms Beyond haven't been discounted again since last year. If it's on sale on its usual price at $3.74 I'd definitely bought it.

You are the cutest on sale! ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡

Just saving you a trip to Google Translate.
めごい!
Me removing titles I own, DLC and skipping over Visual Novels... not much left guys, time to push for some new Japanese games. See if Idea Factory want to bring the rest of the titles that are still stuck on Steam.
Please also include original Japanese audio / text for these games.

This, especially on text. I want to buy the older Tales games before Cold Steel and improve my Japanese understanding. I would buy a couple of the Agarest games accordingly if they included text, #2 as well if they dumped the censorship.
At least "Dark Deity" is English only to begin with and doesn't have Japanese audio without according text.
Surprised the newer Tales games aren't included.

edit: I hope some sale prices on the "Edge Of Eternity" get added after this sale as I own the standard edition though I am thankful I can just buy it as an add-on unlike some games.

Yeh.. I'm always disappointed to see yet another JAST translation with the original language missing :<
Why do GOG sales always feel so arbitrary, no matter how they try to frame them? I don't really see a lot of games on there whose style I would consider kawaii, most are just typical anime-style JRPGs and visual novels / dating sims and such, and some don't even fit the anime-style / asian culture description.

Gurumin might count as kawaii, and it's currently on sale indeed, but apparently not part of the Kawaii Sale?

Marketing.

They just get some publisher to start a sale, then build some marketing around it.
