Spend 15 USD to get a free game • Horror games on GOG Connect • 300+ deals up to -90%



LAST CHANCE: The Halloween Sale Finale is now underway! Make sure you treat yourself to a FREE copy of Tales from the Borderlands by picking up enough tasty deals before November 2, 11PM UTC.
Plenty new games have been added to the lineup, so finding the one for you should be dead-easy.



Scary good deals are coming to GOG.com! Come and knock on our door, grab a handful of Halloween offers from 200+ deals up to 90% off. Spend 15 USD or more to get a free game, and check out horror games on GOG Connect.

We stocked up on some full-size treats this year:
Get Tales from the Borderlands for FREE when you spend 15 USD or more during the Halloween Sale – it's a story-based romp through the ridiculous world of Borderlands, and one of the most beloved Telltale Games productions.

Horror comes to GOG Connect: Add nearly thirty scary games to your account during the sale, including: Hand of Fate, SOMA, Amnesia, Layers of Fear, and more. GOG Connect is a great way to build up your GOG library, letting you claim select Steam purchases for a DRM-free copy on GOG.com – learn more on GOG.com/connect.

Last but not least: the deals! We've put up over two hundred games on sale with bundles and discounts as high as -90%. Our favorites include:
Quake and DOOM classics (-66%); D'n'D Bundle with Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft and more (-66%); Hotline Miami (-80%), Call of Cthulhu: Prisoner of Ice & Shadow of the Comet (-75%); The Suffering series (-20%); Darkest Dungeon (-60%) and its Crimson Court expansion (-20%), The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (-80%), Bad Mojo Redux (-90%) – find over two hundred more offers available throughout the entire sale.

What's more, every Halloween bundle is a "completion bundle": get even better discounts when you grab all games in a bundle – and if you own some of them already, you just need to get the games you're missing!


[i]The 2017 Halloween Sale will last until November 2, 11PM UTC.
Amount required to unlock the free game can vary between regions. Free game codes will be distributed via email when the stretch goal is reached.[/i]

I still haven't played all the games i bought from the last sale, but I can't say no to these prices. I've narrowed it down to 8 games, which I of course won't play before the next sale, but oh well, it can't be helped.

I'll try to not make it more than the 9, but eh... any game I absolutely should get this sale? I might have it already, but if someone can suggest something not super mainstream (since the odds of me having it already would be greater), but still very, very worth buying, I might be interested.

Ps. The games I'm buying already are: fear, blood 1+2, return to castle wolfenstein, quake 1+2, the suffering 1+2

CharlesGrey: Or do we just have to wait until after the sale?

JMich: Did you check your email for a code?
Turns out it was my mistake -- I guess I expected it to be added automatically, or at least some kind of notification on the website, similar to other free games in past sales. And I didn't notice any e-mails, because I set up a separate folder for GOG related mail a while back, and forgot to check that one. Due to your comment I just checked again, and it turns out the notification/game code was there -- Thanks!

Sounds like you enjoy Action games/ FPS -- Have you already played Undying?

CharlesGrey: For what it's worth, it's currently still 75% off at Steam, and according to this list, it is DRM-free/ doesn't require the Steam client once downloaded. ( Which makes me wonder why it isn't on here. )
Thanks... but... never. Even if Steam games could all be downloaded DRM and client free, I'd still be too appalled by their quasi-monopoly to give them money. :(

I have! I enjoy all genres except for pure horror.
In retrospect I realize my request is all but impossible to fulfill since someone would need to know all games I own, and be willing to take the time to check them against suggestions. Oh well, thanks for the suggestion all the same.

The discount on Steamworld Dig in the Steamworld Origins bundle seems to be broken - it's just the regular discount € 2.19. If unchecking "Select All", the discounted price even goes up to € 4.29.

what really scares me about this sale is the lack of discounted games on my wishlist.

I would have bought:
• Children of Zodiarcs
• Bloodrayne: Betrayal
• Through the Woods

I would most likely have bought:
• CrossCode
• La-Mulana
• Odallus: The Dark Call
• Zenith
• The Park
• Butcher
• Silence

out of all those games only "Through the Woods" is discounted (so I bought it), while all of them are discounted on steam.
but I won't buy them on steam, because if a game is available on both gog and steam, there is a 99,9% chance I will buy it on gog.
atm it's really hard for me to not buy all those games at full price. feels like I have been waiting for them since forever and now I have to wait even longer -_-"

I find sales of this magnitude intimidating. So many things to look at that I don't even start and tend not to buy anything. Besides, I've got so many games already that buying for the sake of buying is a thing of the distant past for me.

Forgive me if this has been asked/answered already but I've not been able to find an answer - do non-sale game purchases count towards the free game? I'm trying to restrain myself but good GOG, it's difficult! ;-)

LynetteC: do non-sale game purchases count towards the free game?
From what I recall, yes.

Nice, but however it's beta for now.

Would like to know if regional prices count for the 15$ goal.

For instance, Dead Space's sale price is 4.69$ in my region (3.99$ as base price + 0.70$ you get back as wallet funds), so, buying it, would lower the goal according to the base price (15.00$ - 3.99$ = 11.01$, thus not counting the wallet funds you got back), or according to the regional price (15.00$ - 4.69$ = 10.31$)?

wow, that's pretty depressing.

tbh I've forced myself to ignore sales for the last couple of months because I've literally spent hundreds and hundreds of €s in june ( the 2 summer sales ). but now almost 5 months have passed and I was really looking forward to playing those games and then only 1 is on sale ....
btw I wanted to buy 1 game on steam (Child of Light) and that one isn't discounted, either. lol.

I'm sure most of them will be on sale again at the end of this year. If you don't want to wait that long, just buy one or two from your list now, and then get the rest during the next big sale.
