Many of you in the forums got it right: the awesome game coming exclusively to GOG.com is Little Big Adventure a.k.a. Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure if you played the American version! Brought to you in fully-localized glory, Little Big Adventure is available right now for just $5.99.

You are Twinsen, a Quetch, who are one of four races (Grobos, Rabbibunnies, Spheros, and Quetches) living under two suns on the Twinsun planet. All races coexisted peacefully until the evil Doctor FunFrock discovered how to clone and teleport. He uses these two inventions together to create his very own army which he used to conquer Twinsun by force. Resistance is futile! The only hope is in the mythic Sendell, the benevolent goddess of the planet, who has found a possible hero to help her make the world safe for everyone: a young quetch called Twinsen who has been having the strangest dreams. Unfortunately, in this heavily surveilled society, even dreams are monitored. The evil Dr. FunFrock’s forces have noticed Sendell’s attempt to contact Twinsen via visions while he sleeps, and have arrested the young quetch for his crimes.

For those of you who haven’t played Little Big Adventure, it is primarily an adventure game with clever inventory-based puzzles and captivating conversations with a wide array of characters, but the main focus here is on the action part of the game. The fully 3D character and items model look fantastic, presented in an isometric view while you explore the enormous world. Made up for 11 vast islands with over 120 scenes to jump, run, kick, and talk your way through, Little Big Adventure is definitely a big place to roam. Speaking of which, you can control your hero in four different modes. Normal mode is for walking around and talking to people, Athletic mode grants the ability to run and jump like a parkour maniac, Aggresive mode is the battle mode for maximum damage, and last (but not least!) you can choose Discrete mode in which Twinsen will move stealthily, creeping from shadow to shadow in hiding..

Wait no more! Grab Little Big Adventure for $5.99 with the full exclusive to GOG.com goodies pack (including unreleased design sketches, artworks, and cinematic shots) and embark on the biggest little adventure you’ve ever seen!

Little Big Adventure is in EFIGS which means that it has five different language options:
- English (full voice & text)
- French (full voice & text)
- Italian (text only)
- German (full voice & text)
- Spanish (text only)

WOOOO! This is DEFINITELY something they heard about from the wanted list! Oh I've been wanting to play this! This is probably the first game I remember about the PC from back in the mid-90's, after the CD-Rom explosion. And I remember getting PC Games Magazine back then, featuring games from this era and just being so excited by the possibility of the new medium. Games like Little Big Adventure and the Neverhood were mind-blowing to me, coming from the SNES.

I WILL BE DOWNLOADING THIS. XD. It just looks so imaginative and charming - the kind of game western developers do not seem very interested in making anymore:(

Thank you GOG. It's so awesome to know that you're listening!

YAY for LBA! I remember getting this game bundled with a magazine here in Brazil.

GOG, give us Time Commando too, please? :)

I love LBA, still play it now, so it's great to see it here!

Wow! I'm without my computer for a week and when I come back here GOG has released two of my most wanted games! Darklands was in the top along with the Age of Wonders series, Arcanum and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

Darklands is one of the games that really belong here. But since I didn't know when it would arrive I had decided to download an "abandonware" version of it when I got in the mood for some great mythical fantasy. Thankfully I won't have to now.

Little Big Adventure do really belong here too. I only tried the demo for Little Big Adventure 2 and the special mood in the game makes it a game I haven't forgot even though the demo was very short I think. In this respect it is similar to the Neverhood although everything I've read about it seem to suggest a game with more interesting and open-ended gameplay.

I think I'm going to wait until Little Big Adventure 2 is released and play it with my niece and nephews and the perhaps at some later time pick up LBA 1.

Some people seem to be somewhat confused about the "realism" in Darklands. It is not a realistic version of 15th century Germany!
Like many other RPG games it is medieval fantasy. But unlike most of the others it is not based on Dungeons & Dragons or Tolkien's writings. The setting seem to be a 15th century Germany where the superstitions of the time were actually real. At least that is what it looks like since i haven't played it yet.

Even though Tolkien is my favourite writer and his writings and AD&D have been the main influence for many good strategy and RPG's I'm very tired of the extreme unimaginativeness that most makers of RPG's have when they design their games. Instead of reusing the same old, again and again, a much better approach is doing like Tolkien did and find inspiration for your fantasy world from history, myths and folklore\fairytales. This is what Darklands have done and this is what those that make fantasy RPG's should do for the most part. Sure it is a little more work than just using the same archetypes that everybody knows but I'm sure that it would pay of. There is a lot of familiar ideas and history that people already knows but who are heavily underused in RPG's. (And as a bonus, maybe the trend with this horrible World of Warcraft-style art direction would have died off!)

I'm not suggesting to kill off dragons and dwarves completely. I love Heroes of Might and Magic and Dwarf Fortress! But I wish that we will see less of them in the future.

Apart from it's sequel, this is arguably the best Adventure game ever created!
There is simply not much that can beat the atmosphere, the music and the brilliant game design in LBA.

Now to wait for the sequel. ;)
TY GoG!

I just finished LBA 1 last night (its my second time) in order to celebrate this great GOG release. Magical game! Looking forward to Little Big Adventure 2.

Great game, almost as good as the sequel!
Tho it's kinda disappointing it uses dosbox instead of lbawin.

I'm so glad LBA was released with multi-language support. Not that the English voiceovers are all that bad but I still prefer the French ones, much more fun. :)

(The German voiceovers on the other hand are horrible, completely uninspired.)

Galimatias: This is because we changed the compressed music to CDA quality and the filesize increased. So if you downloaded the game before it was bigger, please redownload the installer one more time to experience the in-game music in higher quality ;)
Awesome! My wish is that this becomes the standard for all games with CD music from now on. Including those already released.

Doh. Congrats. I'm stuck at the beginning, like many years ago... But I'll have to solve it ;-)
