Only $4.99 for Retro City Rampage, the 8-bit thug life action game. Brian Provinciano's ultimate tribute to the 80's pop culture and nostalgic games is something words can hardly describe. Coincidentally, this amazing title was updated today, with a new "Retro+" graphics mode, and--how exciting!--modding support! Today's your chance to grab Brian's opus magnum 66% off!

Only $3.33 for Hotline Miami, the ultraviolent top-down slasher inspired by 1980s. The indie blockbuster of 2012, was made by the famous mad indie dev Jonatan "Cactus" Söderström, featuring unique art style envisioned by his teammate Dennis Wedin, and a selection of haunting music that completes the whole mesmerising experience. If you somehow missed this gem, get it now, 66% off!

Only $4.99 for Dyad, a meditative abstract tunnel shooter.

Sensory overload is 66% off, today!

Only $2.49 for Waking Mars, a Sci-Fi exploration-focused platformer. The mysteries of the Red Planet await, the biggest of them being that there is life in abundance just under the surface. You'll have to learn to interact with the alien ecosystem while you explore a vast system of caves and grottos, this is your only way of survival! Otherworldly adventure 75% off!

Only $2.49 for Tiny &amp; Big, an odd cartoonish action-puzzler. What do you get, when you mix together a grappling hook, rockets, high-powered laser cutter, physics-based puzzles, comic book visuals, old underwear, a talking radio, one nasty bully, strange alien landscape, and tons of bizarre, unruly humor? The answer is complicated, but it's 75% off, today.

All of the above offers last for the next 24 hours, that is until Thursday, June 27, at 12:59PM GMT. Enjoy our #NoDRM Summer Sale, and be sure to check our site for the new exciting deal tomorrow!

Please GOG, in the next big promo don't execute a encore sale before the last day, this spoils the surprise to check the promos every day

Speaking of indie titles, am I the only one hoping that The Swapper gets a GOG release? It can already be purchased in a DRM-free form directly from the developers.

Fesin: I mean, I guess it's great for people who don't regularly check the front site, but for those of us (we are probably a small minority) who love to check in every single day to see what's new, the repetitions do get enormously boring. What motivation is there for us?
This.

I guess the only thing left for us is to wait until July 5, in case any surprise arise, and buy whatever last games you have in mind, at 50% off.

I'm definitely one of these people, and I admit I do grumble a bit every morning when I discover it's another set of repeats. I think the anticipation is one of the most exciting elements of this sale. I realize that a lot of people enjoy the extra chance to grab their desired game, and I also understand that GOG wanted to have all those deals to celebrate the solstice, but it could have been handled differently. For example, GOG could have featured a decent number of bundles for the solstice, more than any other day, to get people excited. After that, they could have gone on with new bundles for each day to keep people engaged and motivated. Near the end of the sale, GOG could then have featured a day with all of the bundles for people who may have missed a deal or were undecided about a purchase. Either way, I bought a lot of games and may continue to do so if new deals pop up, but I think next time they should focus on building that anticipation and excitement in customers.

Repeats are a bit disappointing, but on the other hand I don't mind how they are doing it too much. It is nice I can pick up everything I want on one day instead of being curbstomped by my credit card's fraud department for small frequent purchases here.

Agreed 10,0000 percent.

As much as I love GOG, other than the first few days, the sale has been the most boring games sale I've ever seen. I don't think they get that the anticipation of what's to come next is half of the fun. This? Just one gigantic yawn.

A pity really, as it started off as so much fun and sooooo exciting. Now? Splat. Flat on its face.:(

I already got FEZ and Hotline Miami earlier and I'm not interested in seizure simulator (Dyad). Me want Don't Starve at 4.99 :)

You will probably have to wait for the Christmas sale for that. Dont starve already was on sale for 33% off earlier and its too soon for a deeper discount.

No, you're not. If you haven't already, give it a vote on the wishlist.

There's been quite a few indie games I've learned about on Steam that I want here instead, and I even had to start the wish for some of them since no one else had yet. If I had the money for it, I'd shamelessly steal Barry_Woodward's "Vote for X, win Y!" idea for them ;-)

Quick question,

Fez looks right up my alley. A charming platformer with good music, but I'm wondering on the puzzles. How bad are they? Is it more Puzzle based then platforming based?

PaterAlf: The only other game I don't own from the promo is Dyad and I'm not interested in that.
Why? No love for seizures?

Who needs Dyad if he has the Battling Seizure Robots?
