Redeem 17 Steam games DRM-free | Check out 300+ deals up to -90%!



Have you heard? School is (finally) back in session! And so is <span class="bold">GOG Connect</span>, in time for the 2016 GOG.com Back to School Sale. All in all, it's great games up to 90% off, new game collections and deals added every day, as well as 17 titles to grow your DRM-free library with GOG Connect.

No need for long faces - after all going back to school is a wonderful opportunity to learn new things, make new friends, and even expand your gaming horizons during these cold after-school evenings. This year's curriculum consists of 300+ deals up to 90% off, starting with Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition, Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition, and more.

And hey, we did some of the homework for you! Check out our neat game collections: hand-picked selections of series and similar titles we think you'll really enjoy. Whether you grab an entire collection or otherwise, you'll still get the highest available discounts normally reserved for entire bundles only.

New games and collections will be added every day at 10 AM UTC — so check back and look out for more deals. Once added to the Sale, the deals will stick around until its end.


GOG Connect is back — connect your Steam account and add eligible games to your GOG.com library for free. The June premiere of <span class="bold">GOG Connect</span> was a resounding success and we're now happy to announce the second major batch of 17 GOG Connect titles, including:

[i]Hotline Miami
X Rebirth
Anno 1404
Dex
Shadow Warrior 2013[/i]
and more!

Just like last time, these are limited-time offers made possible by our awesome partners!



If you're looking for a place to hang out and discuss which games you picked, how much homework you've got, or the titles you Connected, make sure to stop by our <span class="bold">Facebook event</span>. All the cool kids will be there.

The Back to School Sale will last until Sunday, October 2, 9:59 PM UTC.

Breja: Ok, has my temporal retina detached, or was Divinity: Original Sin already on sale yesterday? I'm pretty sure I've seen the -50% discount on it on my wishlist yesterday, but now it's showing in "fresh deals".
You're right, it was already discounted yesterday.

Ricky_Bobby: New round then. Hm, some of those Sherlock Holmes games look like my kind of thing, but then I'm considering the two Monkey Island games as well, which I've never actually played before.
I acquired Testament of Sherlock Holmes a couple years ago and tried it out and really enjoyed the few hour trial run I had in it. One thing I liked about it is that it tries to appeal to different types of gamers by having different display modes. If you like traditional point-n-click style adventures you can put it in a static-screen mode to play like traditional point-n-click games, or if you prefer 3rd person perspective full motion, you can use that instead, or you can go into full first person perspective. The 3 modes can be toggled at any time in-game by hitting a key on the keyboard also, so you can switch it up whenever you want. Very nice feature that is very gamer-inclusive! The puzzles were fun and the story/dialogue was pretty solid also. Great game!

I bought the rest of the Sherlock games GOG has during the Summer sale but haven't had a chance to try them yet. Hopefully they're decent though too. :)

Hey that sounds great ! I've always preferred the traditional point & click style, it's really nice to have that option.
I've decided to get a couple of these games, not sure which ones yet, but Testament is looking good right now.

How is that Dex game? Is it like Lone Survivor?

Not at all. Dex is a Cyberpunk RPG, utilizing platformer gameplay mechanics.

So it's not turn-based or point-and-click based, right? Do you know what engine it uses?

Offering a feature that doesn't work is worse than NOT offering anything at all. I've got AT least two of these games on Steam. Gog can't find them. I have my Steam OPEN and public for any asshole to target. Thanks for nothing.

I THINK its custom built, but it might be unity too, I dont know honestly.

GOG connect isnt exactly perfect, just keep trying, it should eventually work, thats how it worked for me sadly.

I understand the servers are a bit laggy, but Im just not sure if all my account settings are correct. Have I ticked off every possible way to open my steam account for gog ( and every other hacker out there ) to take a look?

No, im serious. I don't know. I've set my profile to public, but it says something about "profile status". NO idea what that is. Maybe a sticky thread about how EXACTLY to open up steam for gog would help.

That would be helpful yes, I have to say GOG's communication about this feature and how it works hasnt exactly been the best.

Oo, good stuff today! I'll be picking up a number of titles, plus doing a trade of Dying Light to one of our unfortunate German friends.

Hey that actually IS really neat. Is this present in all the games? You might have sold me on one as well. Of course, I wouldn't have to decide which.

Ia! Ia! ;)

Same issues with Anno 1404 Gold here - bought it on Steam recently, but it appears in my Steam library as the base game + DLC, hence it isn't recognized...
Posted September 27, 2016
Here's my haul so far:

Dying Light: The Following + all DLC
Cossacks II
Corpse Party
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC
Dex
Grim Dawn
Kona *

* not on sale, part of a trade
