Unrest - Special Edition, an fantastic RPG set in alternative ancient India, full of meaningful choices affecting the branching narrative, is available 10% off for Windows and Mac OS X, on GOG.com. That's $22.49 for the first week!

Set in a fantasy interpretation of ancient India, Unrest is an adventure RPG focused on story and choices. Play as five ordinary people who are struggling to get by in the in the famine-stricken city-state of Bhimra. Brave poverty, disease, treason, political and social upheaval. Face unique burdens and gripping dilemmas as you struggle to survive in each chapter...but choices made to help one character may well make life harder for another. In Unrest, there are no heroes of legend, there is no mystical quest, and fate has not chosen you. You're on your own.

Unrest - Special Edition lets you take on the role of a peasant girl faced with an arranged marriage, a priest troubled by his radical temple, a slum dweller with a dangerous past, an ambassador from a militant nation, and a mercenary captain far out of his depth - all as part of the same narrative. Hard decisions made in one chapter have consequences in the next. A choice made as one character may well determine the fate of another. There are no fail states in Unrest - if a character dies or fails in their objectives, that becomes part of the tale. Organic, branching dialogues designed to offer an unparalleled level of control and involvement to the player. The Special Edition offered here comes with The Unrest OST, a 12-track instrumental album inspired by Indian classical music, a novella set in Bhimra, high-res digital posters, including a concept map of Bhimra, behind the scenes developer footage as well as some concept art & design documents.

If you're looking for an RPG experience that actually focuses on playing a role, make sure to check out Unrest - Special Edition for $22.49. Alternatively, you can get the basic version for $13.49, and if you like, you can always upgrade it later. The 10% off special release discount on all things Unrest lasts until Wednesday, July 30, at 3:59PM GMT.
Slightly oddly, the non-Special edition seems to have its own set of extras not ostensibly included with the Special Edition.

(I have this on Humble as a result of backing on Kickstarter. Over there I currently see only an installer, wallpapers and a soundtrack download, so either the other Special Edition extras aren't uploaded over there yet, or they're included in the installer.)

This. In addition Z: Steel Soldiers on Friday. Other than those two, no idea.

Looks interesting. Not ringing my bell for 20 bucks though.

It would be a pretty safe bet. That is, if the game's release date hadn't been changed again for 1 August.
The game was also badly received on Steam, but that doesn't seem to stop Kiss from releasing it there.

JudasIscariot: We still give free goodies for those games where we can but for newer games it's either offer the game without the Special Edition goodies and force people to buy the Special Edition elsewhere or give everyone a choice of whether they wish to buy the Special Edition of a newly released game here.
And it's way better like that, at least for those, like me, that are not that interested in such goodies.

I'm wondering though what the shelf life of such a dlc ( no playable content , only items usually offered as bonus ) is. In the first days/weeks/months, some might want to have "the full game". But in two or three years, will these bonus still be sold separately;... or given away with the game?
Meh, not sure about that, seems way too expensove for what it iseems it is, and that's not counting the OST DLC, whoch is quite expensive too...

Wait and see for reviews...
Excuse my French but : FUCK YESSS!!!!

I discovered this game last week and quite enjoyed the demo (though I didn't have time to finish it) so I'm very glad it's also released here. THX GOG! (Although I can't buy it now, I'm waiting for my paycheck next week)

Leroux: It's not above $15, only the Special Edition is. It's a bit unusual and bewildering though to see that the bonus stuff (soundtrack, novella, behind-the-scenes documentary) has the same price as the base game. It must be some pretty awesome bonus stuff. ;)
Not to mention you need to buy the basic version + the special edition DLC to get all the bonus stuff. As both are 13.49 and the SE is 22.49, that's 4.49 for 2 wallpapers and a 'diary of a Bhimra spy'.

Is there a reason why the basic edition bonus content isn't in the Special Edition, or is that an error? The game page doesn't list it.
SUGGESTION TO GOG:
Make the basic version more visible on the frontpage, a price difference of 9$ can make a difference for those of us who are in "it's already the end of the month" money time frame.

FOR THOSE SITTING ON THE FENCE:
There is a demo on the steam page so you can check it:

Some long gameplay video too (48minutes):

This looks great, a unique RPG setting is something we could definitely use around here.

Same here. If the soundtrack is going to rack up the price, better sell it separately.
Not to mention that truly good game soundtracks are few and far apart.

Ok... I have to admit I saw the price and thought "wow that´s too much for me". Luckily I read the whole text and realized that the normal edition is much cheaper. Bought, since it looks interesting :D
The game seems really interesting and quite unique, wishlisted.
this looks soooo different than the other games... I have to try it!
