Contains dark fantasy overtones.

<span class="bold">Tender Loving Care</span>, a psychological thriller about the dramatic repercussions of a family tragedy, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com with a 75% launch discount.

Dealing with the death of a child is no easy matter. The Overtons turn to Dr. Turner (2-time Oscar nominee John Hurt) who suggests they hire a live-in nurse. Seduction, dangerous fantasies, and dark secrets will start tearing them apart and you, as a curious observer, will get to explore and evaluate the drama while watching it unfold in high-quality FMV. Just careful not to let it get to you...

The 75% discount will last until July 06, 1PM UTC.

Watch the trailer.

ReynardFox: So this barely interactive, tacky, pretentious, poorly conceived FMV game is alright to sell, but you reject Don Bluth's historically valuable ones?

Okay...
You mean Dragon's Lair and Space Ace?

Dungy69: Just what we need, more terrible late 90s FMV games.

At least looks like they hired professional actors, and not their next door neighbors for this one.
And that is the problem with FMV games in general and in such reviews in particular. Good FMC sequences don't make a good game and bad ones don't make a bad game. This has quite good FMV sequences but very little gameplay at all. Take the Tex Murphy adventures for the opposite. I prefer the latter.

Bought! Thank you GOG.

Does this mean we're getting other adult-rated games like Hatred? :)

I just tried this. I think I'll stick to the DVD version. The video quality for this makes it look like it was filmed in 1980.

Literally less than 10 minutes into the game: "I'd like to change first. I brought my nurse's uniform."

Also, John Hurt just pronounced appreciate as "a-pree-see-ate". CLASS! PURE CLASS!

Interesting release. I just wanted to point out its pedigree: the game is actually based on the Andrew Neiderman novel. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5117245-tender-loving-care

Watched Giant Bomb's playthrough. At least they made it entertaining.

GOG:
Please bring the Don Bluth Games and the American Laster Games, too!

- Dragon's Lair 1+2
- Space Ace
- Mad Dog McCree 1+2
- Space Pirates
- The Last Bounty Hunter
- Crime Patrol 1+2

They TOO are only interactive movies, but more interesting. FAR more interesting and old arcade games.

This one here is bought as a sign of goodwill, but PLEASE bring the other classics here, too. Thanks!

That looks like John Hurt. Is that John Hurt? Stop telling me about it and take my money!

Game? Movie? I don't know yet, but it is in my library!

Damn it all. I had NO interest in buying this. ZERO.
But, thanks to you and this amazing clip from the game, I HAVE to play it.

Walkthrough also available on youtube, i always check these so i can see what a game looks like and how it plays, seems the game also has some 'game' parts in it that require to 'navigate' around the house, if it had been only making choice of actions i (like late shift) i would have bought it , the list price is also nice.

I gues i will wait for next thursday and see what might arrive ...


seems i cannot log out :D i get the gog bear and error image ....

guess i delete the cookies to logout

Is that missing an /s ? I definitely thought it was "too much, too early" rather than "awesome" ;) ('s kind of on the nose, ain't it? Wait until you get to M.'s journal entries...).

Klumpen0815: Would be an instabuy if not for this:
Works on: Windows (7, 8, 10)
Can anybody test it on WinXP and/or WINE, please?
Works in XP

Wine only partially works (game installs, launches, renders UI and plays sound but doesn't have video. This might be fixable with effort, but out of the box Wine is a "no.")
