We’re approaching the second week of our Winter Sale, and what’s a better way to do it than with a GIVEAWAY and new discounts on great games!

For the next 72 hours (until December 21st, 2 PM UTC) feel free to claim your copy of Lost Ruins – a 2D side-scrolling survival action game, where you play as a young girl that has awoken in a strange and foreign place without her memories.

Get ready to explore a dark and dangerous world, battle hideous monsters, and topple incredible bosses. With its fast and methodical combat, variety of spells to master, awesome weaponry and accessories to collect, and environment that you can use to your advantage, a whole lot of fun awaits!



In addition to the GIVEAWAY, the Winter Sale is expanding with new discounts! Check out these deals on awesome indie titles from Freedom Games:

Tyrant's Blessing Deluxe Edition (-60%)
A tactical turn-based game where your ability to plan, adapt, and strategize is more important than min-maxing your units or finding the sharpest sword in the hoard. Select battles every day, make challenging choices, and cleverly use the strengths of these rag-tag insurgents to defeat the undead hordes and maybe - just maybe - bring real life back to Tyberia.



Vengeance of Mr. Peppermint (-50%)
A hardcore, side-scrolling beat-'em-up inspired by classic Korean crime dramas. As Mr. Peppermint, a hard-boiled detective driven to the extreme, find out who gives orders at the top of the crime ladder, and enact brutal, bloody vengeance.



Night Loops (-33%)
A psychological horror that tells a story about finding the “psychic somewhere.” Numb, floating in a day-to-day nowhere, each night bleeds the same but different. It is said here, that through The Path, an inner world can be rebuilt and your ownership returned.



LunarLux (-40%)
An anime-inspired action-adventure RPG that takes place on the Moon! A thousand years ago, humanity lived on the now volcanic and lifeless earth-like planet known as Terra. Due to the planetary catastrophe, ASTRA, humans were forced to find a new home. Unfortunately, no habitable planet existed within a reasonable distance, so the remaining survivors made their way to Luna, the moon that orbits Terra.



Tavernacle! (-60%)
A co-op Tavern Defense for 1-4 players. A shadow has fallen across Upper-Left-Earth and threatens the realm of Dwarves. Monsters gather on the horizon, ready to plunge the world into an era of sobriety. Ensure the dark hordes are driven back and the brewery keeps pumping out the lifeblood of the Dwarven people. So, grab a hammer, fill up that mug, and get crafting to protect the beer.



Make sure to claim the GIVEAWAY, find all the new discounts within the Winter Sale, and have a great week!

argamasa: I don´t know where to post it. Today appeared in my orders the Two Worlds Soundtrack by Harold Faltermayer, for free, for owning the game base i guess.

So, thanks Gog and Topware for the OST, that´s nice.
Same here, interesting.

Thanks indeed
It's 1:34 pm here and still the 21 but the game isn't free anymore. I thought it was free till 2pm on the 21.

ZombeeTaco:
2pm UTC, which would be 5 to 9 hours ahead of the US (6 hours ahead of you if I correctly guess you are in central time).

You can keep an eye on the expiring codes clearinghouse or some other giveaway threads if you miss one.
I'd like to buy Powerslave Exhumed here, but 25% off here vs 50% elsewhere is just too much of a difference for me to even consider grabbing it here. Don't know why gog has suddenly gotten really bad with the sales, but it's making me buy less and less here.

It's the publisher who sets prices.

The sale price differences are too big and too common among different publishers and devs lately to have the blame laid solely at them.

This is the first time it's been dropped to 50% since its release. Even back in June 2022, its Steam prices dropped and GOG followed suit the next month and had much more frequent sales at this lowered price than Steam thereafter.

If the prices don't drop to similar levels the next time it's discounted, then your claim about price disparity between Steam and GOG would be more valid. I'd try asking the publishers before blindly blaming GOG, especially when we consider that GOG's winter sale starts earlier.

If you can't be bothered to wait, keep in mind the Steam version is DRM'd.

Whoever is responsible, the drm-free perk is not worth the bad sale prices. I'm tired of it and other issues that have been plaguing the site for years now, and the defense of these issues that don't help the site, or the customers who shop here.

Well, it's definitely not the platforms who set the prices, it's the publisher. This is well known throughout the industry. Steam does it here as mentioned in their docs. GOG might do something differently like emailing discount suggestions for the publisher to approve for upcoming sales.

I'm not defending this practice at all, I'm advocating for being fair with blaming the correct people. There are legitimate site issues that are in desperate need of an upgrade. That is entirely GOG's fault - specifically, their execs who make all the decisions. Though this wasn't part of the original point brought up about price disparities. The only thing GOG can be blamed on is having an archaic system of getting discounted prices instead of giving full autonomy to publishers to set their own prices directly in DevPortal just like Steamworks' pricing tool so they can adjust it whenever they want save outside certain big sales events (eg: spring, summer, fall, winter).

Anyway, you'd be rewarding the same publishers who didn't plan price parity ahead of time while also doing a disservice to the DRM-free movement and ultimately yourself with a DRM'd Steam copy. This makes zero sense because it's akin to paying a lower ransom for an inherently inferior product to the same people setting the ransoms. You're more than welcome to leave if you don't care about DRM-free as much as value, though.
I will claim no such giveaway until such that GOG's obnoxious marketing policy is reversed fully, and that by claiming said giveaway, no settings will be changed by my engagement with it.
