[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.

I those are on my list. Got to love some point and click games
Following your theological approach, does this mean that the decline of point-n-click adventures at the end of the 90's was the work of the Devil?
In this case, who do you think is our Lord and Saviour of adventures games?
Is it Tim Schafer? is Kickstarter the New Testament?

Great promo, anyway!

I'd say it's a great topic for an open debate!
Personally I am a follower of the Double-Fine cult. But I'm far from monotheism, as I do my part of worship at the Altar of Revolution, which tempts me with the promise of delivering us onto the green pastures of a new Broken Sword game. And sure - Kickstarter can be seen as the instrument of redemption.

Uh... how about we drop the theological analogy? It'd make the discussion much simpler to follow ;-)
Does this means the promo ends a hour earlier?

Yep...
I am tempted to get both or either RESONANCE or GEMINI RUE, but after downloading and trying the demo, it seems that both won't run properly on my laptop. So believing that the full versions here have the same built (and probably same problem running on my laptop), I decided to pass. Nice promo, but been hoping for the "older", classic point-and-click games to be included in this though. :)
