A retro-styled adventure RPG with an atmosphere just like the classics – Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok is available on GOG for free!

Like in many adventure games, you have a world to save, and must use your wit, guile and inventory to puzzle your way through. Like in many roleplaying games, you can customize your character with various classes and skills, and must train yourself in combat to stand a chance against the fierce monsters in your way. Each class has its own solution to the numerous obstacles, where the warrior is the most straightforward to play, the sorceress focuses on smart solutions and finding the right spell for the situation, and the rogue cheats her way through life without getting caught.

The game is designed in the spirit and atmosphere of the classics, and strives to have the same high quality of art, music, and plot. With multiple character classes and several solutions to many puzzles, there are plenty of options for further replayability.

Check this awesome title out!

Moreover, we'd also like to give a shoutout to Tyler, also known as tfishell, a member of our community who (and not for the first time) helped us bring the game to our catalog. The quest to make games last forever is certainly easier with passionate adventures like you!
Nice, thanks!
Great to finally see this here, hope more free titles show as there are a lot of great games that have become lost or forgotten that would benefit a return here.
Thank you Crystal Shard, tfishell and GOG!
Instant-download.
Nice!

I bought this some time ago on fireflowergames.com and it 's surprisingly good.

The best way to play it as a a point & Click adventure is to play it as thief.
Great game for any Quest for Glory (Hero's Quest) fan.

I would add, with a tiny spark of magic.

I feel so tired: Thank you .

But what happened with the midweek deals ?
We currently have at least 4 sales active and one "deal of the day".
If you ignore all the other "deal of the days", this one is your midweek deal.
Finally, cheers.

Wouldn't mind to be able to send Crystal Shard those 2,99 eurodollars as part of the "Developer Appreciation Package" here on GoG, too.
awesome :D
high rated
edit: Here are other Crystal Shard games that are on Steam, if anyone wants to research and vote for GOG releases if they're interested:

Crystal Shard Adventure Bundle
A Tale of Two Kingdoms
Leylines
Sub Terra Draconis

Hey, it's here now! Cool :) and thank you for remembering the credit GOG :)

I do wish the Dev Appreciation Package DLC was here though, as others have pointed out.

Please consider voting for other Crystal Shard games on the community wishlist. (Sorry, I'm on a tablet so too hard for me to link to all them right now.)

Oh, and once again, thank you for your contribution to "make it happen", tfishell, much appreciated.
A charming addition to our collection! :) Thank you Crystal Shard and GOG, and of course to tfishell for nudging the game here. ;)
Don't know why it was not available from the get go, but there is already an entry for the DLC in GOG's database:

Thanks for the freebie!
Thank you, GOG & Crystal Shard!

This is one of the best games ever made and an incredible spiritual successor to Sierra's beloved Quest for Glory series (some may argue even that this free game is better than the QfG games even!). This was shown lots of love.

I really really hope the rest of Crystal Shard's catalogue ends up on GOG, I love their other games too.
