That's $17.99 <s>until April 22</s> until May 7, when the game is expected to arrive. Pre-ordering on GOG.com yields you a special bonus in the form of the game's full soundtrack and one classic Tex Murphy game of your choice!

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/tesla_effect_a_tex_murphy_adventure][/url]In Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure the classic adventure hero wakes up--disoriented and head pounding--on the fire escape outside his office atop the Ritz Hotel. Another typical morning for the last of the old-school detectives. Except it isn’t. What starts out as the worst hangover in history becomes a baffling nightmare: something--or someone--has erased Tex’s memory of the past seven years. Motivated by lost love, revenge, and the world’s strongest coffee blend, Tex must retrace his own steps into a maze of unsolved murders, hidden agendas, and lost technologies of Nikola Tesla. Only by solving the mysteries of his past can Tex hope to regain his memory in time to restore what’s been lost and stop a terrifying future.

If you missed Tex, make sure to pre-order Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure on GOG.com, for only $17.99. You'll get instant access to the game's soundtrack (both MP3 and FLAC format), and a special gift-code allowing you to redeem one classic Tex Murphy game of your choice will be sent to you via e-mail by the end of the week. This special pre-order offer lasts <s>until April 22</s> until May 7, when the game is (currently) scheduled for launch.

EDIT:
As per Big Finish Games' statement, the release of Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure is postponed to allow the developer some more fine-polishing of the anticipated game. The current expected release date is May 7, 2014. We're sorry if this delay causes you any inconvenience!

This also affects our Tex Murphy video contest - you'll get an extra week to work on your entries!
Well, it's better to have a more polished experience from the get-go than wait for patches and such.

BTW, is there going to be an enigmatic hint today? :)

TET is out of town again. Still, I managed to come up with something enigmatic and twisted for you ;-)

Cool, definitely a head-scratcher for me. :) Some Google-fu will keep me busy while my other computer updates.
Release day isn't far away, so I guess it's about time that Big Finish Games started giving out gog keys to their backers. I wouldn't want to miss out on any pre-order exclusive bonus content.

Maybe post this in the Big Finish Games backer forum instead?

HypersomniacLive: Maybe post this in the Big Finish Games backer forum instead?
I brought it up on the forums a couple of days ago, but didn't really get any sort of reply (let alone an official one). Guess I'll have to try my luck again.
I've never played a Tex Murphy game before, though I've wanted to since seeing Under a Killing Moon at a store 20 years ago. I'm thinking about checking this out.

I'm curious though, if this is filled with 1080p video, how is the estimated size 1.3 GB while the older low-res games are much larger?

That number is just a placeholder number for the demo, the actual game will be more like 15-20 gb.
And welcome aboard, you are in for a treat!

What exclusive content would that be?

The soundtrack's already available to backers through the Mutant League section.

The only other thing I see is GoG's offer of another Tex Murphy title, but I wouldn't call that "exclusive bonus content".

I was referring to the soundtrack. I already downloaded it from the backer section, but it would still be cool if I could also have it in my gog library.
