Interesting game, I've been following it for a while. Cool release GOG!

Good release!

Off topic: what does "bid my time" mean?

The trailer of this game reminds me of The Cat Lady

It means I will wait for a better time to be able to do better than what is currently possible... I'll bid on the time that will pass until better conditions are met...

Unless I've misused that expression, English is not my first language. :P
VAT has been an excuse, albeit partial, to the difference in prices but if the company selling the products don't actually give that vat amount back to the original country, then I think it doesn't mean anything and vat has nothing to do with it in any way.

And by "Monday" you mean October 15th, right? ;)
I'm fairly certain the latter is the correct release date.

Tried out the demo. Eerie stuff... The artwork style somehow fits and the sound is good. It could just be the demo, but I couldn't figure out the plot behind it. One thing I didn't much like was how slow your character moves, but one can argue that's part of it, that feeling of moving too slow and being unable of outrun whatever is chasing you when you're having a nightmare.

From what I've seen in the demo I'd give it 3/5 perhaps. Wishlisted for now.

Thanks, will check the demo out. It's either this, Ethan Carter or new Gabriel Knight for me (Wasteland 2 pretty much drained my spending money for some time :)) Neverending Nightmare seems very interesting, but I wonder if it's more like The Cat Lady (worth any money :)) or Knock-Knock (solid game, but with pretty limited narrative). Ethan looks nice too but I'm not sure how it'll behave on my poor old XP (yeah, I know I should move on with my OS, but buying new Windows without buying new computer costs a fortune, at least here in Poland :)) and reviews indicate it's rather short (and I'm a little spoiled after Wasteland 2 :)). I want to support Gabriel Knight, but I'd rather have GK4 than a remake of a story I already know. Even if it's a great story.

Thank you for the explanation :)

OK, here's a review for the game, lovingly crafted to be exactly as long as GOG's horribly restrictive character limit will allow. While I'm waiting for it to show up on the gamecard, I'll post it here.


"Long on atmosphere, short on polish"

Neverending Nightmare is an indie surrealism/horror game developed by Matt Gilgenbach.

This game might be best described as "exploration horror"; you wander around various creepy environments, drinking in the visuals and the music as the tension mounts, punctuated by the occasional (generally well-timed and well-done) jump scare. There are monsters, which have to be avoided, and they are appropriately creepy, but this isn't Amnesia or Clock Tower; the game is easy by design (on the theory, I think, that having to do the same section over and over isn't so so much scary as annoying). The music is excellent, instilling a real sense of unease (this is one of relatively few games where I'd actually listen to the soundtrack, if only one were included), and the art style is interesting, unique (well, it's clearly mimicking Edward Gorey, so in a sense that's the opposite of unique, but at least you don't see many other games using it), and generally effective. The story branches, with different levels and endings.

But.

But but but.

Your character moves frustratingly slowly, and the movement animations are horribly amateurish. There is a run function, which will cause him to do a regrettable and hilarious slow-jog ... thing ... for about ten feet while making exaggerated panting noises. There's no animation for walking straight downward, so if you do that, your character will sort of float in that direction while his legs move as if he's walking forward. And while the art style works in general, I just can't get over the character model for the protagonist; he looks ridiculous.

To get the different endings, you have to replay levels. Silent Hill and Amnesia, which have strong game-play elements, can get away with this better than Neverending Nightmare, which relies so heavily on pure atmosphere.

The game is short, maybe two hours. This is intentional (a longer game would need a stronger central gameplay mechanic), but some gamers might want more for the price.

So, by "AAA titles" GOG meant "pretty much everything new"?

In all honesty: what is the justification for a non-flat pricing for an indie (kickstarted!) game, with no retail physical copies to ship and no publisher dictating consumer-unfriendly sales tactics? Because if the answer is "because we can", then many GOG buyers who disagree with being treated like walking wallets would simply pirate the game.

The game doesn't really interest me, but I was under the impression that this wasn't the intention when regional prices were first introduced.

Not to be facetious, but did you ever have a neverending nightmare in which you never played Master of Magic?

If not, I didn't either, but to allay yourself of this fear, give this a shot:

[I'll get to the game listed in this thread later, somewhere, with time frame flexible.]

Edit to interject a word, and remove a code redeemed by the same entity in another thread.. not a bot, unless they tie it up and loop, as it took awhile, but apparently private; discovered as in other thread, through inspection.

Edit to add: It might be nice if someone, that redeems code, says they do so that it doesn't sit there for others to waste their time on. Thanks, Chuck

I know who redeemed code, would appreciate a PM to ascertain legitimacy. An fu would suffice.

I saw a preview of this before. It looks like something I would love. Wish listed until I can afford it.

stupid local taxes

Stupid senseless argument. Do gog really sends 21% of sales from a sold game to Belgium?

If not, then bullshit.

And even then, it'd be 21%, anything more is a scam.
