Magical Mousewood Mystery Tour!

The Night of The Rabbit, a charming storybook point-and-click adventure of magic and mystery, with beautiful storybook graphics, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $9.99 for the next 24 hours!

The mysterious Marquis de Hoto will guide you deep into the mysteriously beautiful realm of Mousewood, you will many times stop to look with awe at your surroundings. The gameworld [url=http://www.gog.com/news/ask_developer_a_question_the_night_of_the_rabbit" target="_blank]envisioned by Matt Kempke, is full of discrete charm and secret matters known only to the inhabitants of the forest. The story, as it starts to reveal, will put you in that special state of mind you only experience as a child, heading out to meet the adventure unknown, before the summer ends. If you're looking for a game full of wonders, that will make your inner child smile, and yet force you to reflect on things important in life, you have found it.

In The Night of the Rabbit we join young Jerry and follow a peculiar white rabbit to the wondrous realm of Mousewood, a land where critters can speak and where mystery abounds. It is here that Jerry’s dream of being a magician comes true, though a haunting, sinister force casts a long shadow over the forest. Someone offers the residents of Mousewood a deal of their lifetime - tickets to the greatest magic show that the world has ever seen. But the price is steep, as they'll have to bet their houses, their money… and their lives.

Let the Marquis lead you towards a late summer night's dream, today in The Night of The Rabbit, for only $9.99 on GOG.com. The promo lasts until Thursday, August 22, at 9:59AM GMT.

Schnuff: Well, a German game without the German language....another miss for me but i am
certain than in a short time it will make its debut as one of the freebies on a gamemag
DVD.
This time it's not GOG's fault.

Well, they could allow Daedalic to offer the premium version that could include the German language.
I mean, I understand that they don't want to got down that route because then other publishers would want the same right, but in this case it's disadvantageous for customers.

JudasIscariot: Should be fixed now :D

DukeNukemForever: And there goes the last hope to see a surprise release of the german language pack... Just kidding, I know Daedalic can't release that because of different regional publishers. Happily this orange pricelabel isn't provoking me anymore when I browse that game list, thanks for that ;-)
Yeah, sorry about that completely unintentional trolling of our resident German-speaking members :D.

Attention Daedalic Entertainment, instead of doing these promos, how about you put the "Premium" edition here? Why is it on Steam but no available here?

Are you being ignorant and lazy just like BornReady games here?

I'm pretty sure I saw on a forum, unless it was for another indie developer that the rights to the German version were owned by a German distributor, part of the deal / cash advance to get the game made. But memory could serve me wrong, it was definitely an adventure game developer.

Because GOG.com won't allow it.

Yes, but the distributor has nothing against releasing the game DRM-free, they just insist ion a particular price. Daedalic thinks this price is actually a bit too high, so they created to versions:
The basic version, which includes most languages, and the premium version which includes German and a few extras, but is also more expensive.

Since GOG.com doesn't allow two versions of a game, Daedalic decided to release only the cheap international edition, and not the German premium edition.

Why? They are already selling two different editions of Divinity: Dragon Commander.

The thing GOG would not allow is regional pricing

I was just looking through the developer Q&A, which I was sure I'd read before.

Hmm how did I miss that, my Question was there and answered and never noticed nor asked for a gift code. Well bought the game now so guess I missed that one. I assume the gift code was for the game, can't remember now.

I must have not scrolled down all the way, got distracted and figured I'd read the whole thing back when it was first posted.

I even remember thinking, damn wish my question had got up there. Now who's the fool.

The Imperial edition is DLC, not a separate version.
Night of the Rabbit was also released months before Dragon Commander, so it could also be that the rules were different back then.

Anyway, I'm just repeating what the Daedalic guy said when the game was released back then.

With Memoria looming ahead I was looking forward to complete my Daedalic Collection. Although I normally prefer the English versions, I'd like to get this game in German, too.
Will the German version be added at a later time or is it not likely to happen at all?

Thanks for the Rabbit!
Any news about Memoria release on GOG?

Fesin:
Well hopefully someone fixes it.

This one is sort of on my backlog, worth playing in the more recent sense?

So what's the difference between the Premium version and GOG's?

Not very likely. As Deonast mentioned, Daedalic had a special deal with a distributor to fund the game. As far as I remember that distributor has the right to sell the game in german exclusively, which means Daedalic can only offer the other languages except german. To get also the german version GOG needs to make a special deal with that distributor, which is very unlikely right know beause of the big price difference (30€ on Steam for the german version against 20$ here for the other languages).

Gonchi: So what's the difference between the Premium version and GOG's?
From the Steam-page: Includes Original Soundtrack (41 tracks), 8 audio books (160 minutes total running time) and a wonderful game comic by Olga Andriyenko. I don't see these items on the gamespage, so I guess that's the difference between the normal and the premium version.

Edit: To be fair, that 30€ for the german version on steam is the premium edition. It seems there is no normal german version anymore, both are listed at 30€ and clicking on the normal version I get the premium-gamepage

It's not that the German retail partner has the exclusive rights to the German version (like with Satinavs Ketten, where DS has the rights to the German version), but that the contract they made with them said that a digital version can't uncdercut their price.
So Daedalic can sell it on Steam in German, but they have to match the retail price.
