Resonance, The Whispered World, Blackwell Bundle, Machinarium, and other Adventures 50% off.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/indie_adventures_weekend/ ][/url]Do you want to hear the story of the origins of our [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/indie_adventures_weekend/ ]Point-and-Click Mix Promo[/url], that offers you 6 great indie adventure games with a 50% discount? Well, here it is. In the beginning there were just the keyboards. But then the God of PC Gaming said: "Let there be a device on your desks that you could use to move a little cursor on the screen". And there was such a device. And the God of PC Gaming saw that it was good, and he said: "Let this device be known as MOUSE, because its cord looks like a little tail and it just cracks me up". And the device was called a "mouse" and so it shall be until the end of times. And the God of PC Gaming said: "Whoah! Looks like I'm in the zone and every idea I have today turns out to be brilliant. Say... wouldn't it be fun to use this mouse to point-and-click your way through adventure games?". And all of the Creation stopped in awe for a moment or two, such was the greatness of this idea. And the God of PC Gaming saw that Point-and-Click Adventures were good. No, not just good: simply awesomesauce! And here, at GOG.com, we sure as hell share this opinion. But enough about genesis, let's cut to the chase. Here's what we've been blessed with in the [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/indie_adventures_weekend/ ]Point-and-Click Mix Promo[/url]!

If you're a fan of pixel-art aesthetics and classic adventure narrative, you simply cannot afford to miss , [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/gemini_rue]Gemini Rue, and Blackwell Bundle! Uncover a catastrophic conspiration and solve the riddle behind the secret vault of a genius particle physicist. Then take a trip across the gritty neo-noir galaxy in the sci-fi story of shady businesses, villainy, and redemption. Finally, follow the writer/medium/detective Rosangela Blackwell and her pulse-impaired companion Joe Mallone on four of their mystery-packed cases set in 1970's New York.

If you prefer games that feel so modern and surreal that they can be used as an argument in the everlasting "games as art" debate, be sure to check out Amanita Design's and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition]Machinarium: Collector's Edition. Both games feature unique worlds that will amaze you with their dream-like landscapes. Guide a little robot through the metal-covered, puzzle-packed city of aberrant automatons or help a group of little tree-sprites to save the last seed of their home-tree from an insect invasion. Whichever world you choose to visit first, it's sure to leave you astonished!

Or maybe you're looking for an adventure that feels like an amazing animated fairy-tale? Look no further! The Whispered World is exactly that: high-quality 2D adventure game with hand-painted backgrounds and traditional hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation. Can you get to the bottom of a mysterious prophecy, and assist Sadwick and his companion Spot on a dangerous adventure that leads them to the furthest ends of the Whispered World?

Grab your mouse and head out to the [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/indie_adventures_weekend/ ]Point-and-Click Mix Promo[/url] page, to check out the God's of PC Gaming gifts to humanity--now 50% off on GOG.com.

TheJoe: Gemini Rue, Resonance and Blackwell are classics, just not in the chronological sense.
Pick them up and have the time of your life.
Which one should I buy (and play) first? I heard many good things about Gemini Rue :)
This is the third time I'm buying the Blackwell games. Dammit. If Dave wasn't such a bro...

I feel that the Blackwell games, while excellent (if a bit too simplistic) titles, are still inferior to Gemini Rue. Despite its flaws, GR is one of the best adventure games to have graced the PC in the last 10 years.

Haven't tried Resonance yet, though I have two copies of it, so I can't tell you much about it.

After that, play the Blackwell games, starting with the first.

I loved Resonance.. but that doesn't say much, 'cause it's the only one i've played (to the end at least... ;p)

Tough one. Both of them are fairly similar, strangely. Both gritty and honest.

lowyhong already pointed out that Gemini Rue is simply one of the greatest blessings graced upon us by the adventure gaming gods. But Resonance is equally as amazing, showcasing five years of hard work by its creator and what may actually be a more plausible plot.

Pick one, any one. Just make sure that you play both in time.
All of them got my attention in the past and yet I had none of them. What do you think I've just done? Well, it's enough to say that I've just seen the famous "Nice, you own all games from this promo" massage for the first time in my life ;)

Thanks a lot!
Thank you for your opinions. I think I'll play them chronologically.
How about a riddles in those games? Are they logical? :)

I have yet to play Gemini Rue, but I can tell you that puzzles in Resonance are pretty logical and they have logical solutions. Resonance is not one of those "OK, combine the wad of gum with the bullet and then put all of this in a sock for no apparent reason, then put the whole shebang into a microwave for 30 seconds. Let it cool and serve. Serves 2"

Great, thanks! Your story reminds me a game Stupid Invaders :D
Great promo, GOG! :)

But ... last weekend I wasn't interested in the promo because Strategy is my least favorite genre, this weekend it's one of my favorite genres and I still won't buy anything because I got all of the game already, heh (except for TWW, which I refuse to buy without the original voiceovers). I guess I'm not really part of the target audience for promos anymore. :D

Unless there's a sale for Deus Ex sometime soon. Pretty please, with sugar on top? ;)
Also, a pity that Ceville is not part of the P&C mix, I might have bought that.

My favorite genre. Wonderful games.
Still waiting for an improved shelf before I'll buy any of these (shame because there's 2 I want.) If a certain rival company puts them on sale for a similar price soon then that's a sale lost to GOG.

What's wrong with the current shelf mate?
Thank you GOG...my kind of promo!!
