One man alone cannot fight the future.

<span class="bold">Singularity™</span>, an intense time-bending FPS where past, present, and future are locked in a violent fluctuation, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com.

How was U.S. marine Nathaniel Renko supposed to know that saving a Russian scientist from a fire in 1955 would have such catastrophic results in the present? Now a tyrant has taken over the world, leaving Renko and his techno-magical glove to sort out this mess and salvage the best possible version of the future.
Armed with the appropriately named Time Manipulation Device (TMD) and plenty of conventional firepower, Renko must face an army of elite soldiers and horribly warped abominations that shouldn't exist in any era. The TMD can rapidly age his enemies, send energy surges through them, or even manipulate inanimate objects to his advantage, as he jumps between 1950s Russia and its modern day counterpart, looking for the means to save the world from the singularity.

Manipulate time and your enemies' life force as you desperately try to cancel the <span class="bold">Singularity™</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

AlienMind: I'm sorry but I can't see how Germany is the one at fault here.

mobutu: Germany is at fault by having stupid laws that require "age verification", "simbol censoring" etcetera. only 3-5 countries in the entire world have these absurd, inept and idiotic type of laws.

Yes, gog complies with german law, and in those special few cases of games being indexed by german law or whatever close to be interpreted in such way, it's easier, safer and cheaper for gog AND FOR DEVS/PUBS WHO HAVE ANYWAY THE FIRST SAYING/DECISION IN THIS MATTER to just not offer these few games to german ips.

Democratically fix/patch your idiotic law and then you'll have acces to those said few games. But don't accuse gog/devs/pubs for not being your white knight and for something that is germany's problem anyway.
So it's legal to sell porn to underages in your country? What about crack cocaine? Where do you draw the line? Isn't it subjective where some country draws the line? These were rhetorical questions.

Good release but overpriced.

We have a legally binding rating system (USK). USK18 titles are not allowed to be sold to minors. Those titles can be sold here or on steam or everywhere else without any problem. The problem is that some games get refused by the USK, not every game gets a rating. That must change. We don't need that fucking index and the godawful §131 StGB.

I really don't understand why some games or movies should be treated as if they were more "dangerous" for minors than alcohol or cigarettes, which can be sold openly everywhere and don't need to be hidden. It just makes no sense. There is scientific proof that alcohol and tobacco causes severe damages to the body, but every shop can put these products openly in their shelves, but some games must be hidden from the public. Why? There is no scientific evidence that these games are as bad as those politicians claim them to be. It's pure madness.

I don't get it, how to enforce "not allowed" when "can be sold... without a problem"? What if a minor buys USK18 titles on steam? If this is possible then USK18 is a rather "should not be sold"!

No uber-indie single developer person game,
no in development stuff,
no DLC, no episode,
no "soon" announcement,
no port from a mobile game,
no aeon old 90s stuff and
not even overhyped and overpriced AAA farmville stuff.

In short, it's the first sensible meaty GOG PC game release a month.

Now where's the fucking buy button folks. Where is that fucking buy button.
