Puzzle-solving tranquility.

<span class="bold">Pan-Pan</span>, a delightful exercise in free-roaming environmental storytelling, is available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 10% launch discount.

In most adventures, solving puzzles is a deliberate process, required to push the story forward. In Pan-Pan, you visit the puzzles in their natural environment and solving them forms the narrative as you venture out to fix your ship and head home.

Interacting with the wonderfully quirky characters and exploring the open-world will provide the tools and items necessary to overcome all the obstacles scattered about. Tackle them at your own pace and gradually unlock the rest of the wonderful locations, bathed in the relaxing music created by composer Simon Viklund. This is a place of wistful tranquility and freestyle adventuring where anything can happen!

Navigate the puzzles awaiting you in the endearing world of <span class="bold">Pan-Pan</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. Those who dream big can upgrade to the <span class="bold">Planetary Pack</span> for the soundtrack and the Explorer's Guide to Pan-Pan.
The 10% discount will last until August 26, 2:59 PM UTC.

IAmSinistar: I've been exposed to Anpanman, the damage is done. ;)

And just to clarify my earlier comment, bread was introduced to Japan via French bakeries and cuisine, and they adapted the French word "pain" into the Japanese "pan" as the borrow-word for "bread". Combine that with the Japanese predilection for cutefying names by doing double-repeat syllables and you get Pan-Pan. :)
Hmmm... I don't want to be that guy, and I know Wikipedia isn't a truly authoritative reference, but it says that pan comes from the Portuguese pão, and is "often wrongly connected to the Spanish pan or the French pain, both with the same meaning. The word was introduced into Japan by Portuguese missionaries".

Also I checked in the first place because a Japanese teacher I had many years ago already had told me about pan. When the whole classroom got excited about Japanese having a Spanish word she had to calm us down: "Sorry, actually it's Portuguese" :-(

Ah, perhaps it is then. Though somewhat odd that both the French-sounding word and the French bread would play such a big part in the introduction of bread to Japan otherwise. I suspect the truth is a muddle, as so many things in language are.

Still, nice timing if true, given the recent addition of Brazil to GOG. :)

Hmmm, this looks rather interesting.

1 GB of VRAM required for such simple graphics? I don't get it, what a bad port ...

Well, just started and finished the game. It took less than two hours, but I'm not bad at abstract logic games, though I say it myself. Some folks might prefer to play it stages. But I will say it can be played straight through in one sitting. Doesn't bother me, that, I don't mind paying money for a good game, regardless of the length, and this one was quite enjoyable. But folks who are less free with their wallets might want to factor in the brevity. :)

So the only option here for the Planetary Pack is an upgrade making it a few dollars more expensive than Humble/Steam?
