I could easily buy the game and play it in English, Polish or Czech, however the game was made by Germans in German language and I'd like to play it as such. Frankly, I consider it ridiculous and outrageous that the language, original and one of the world languages, isn't included intentionally -- when there is a German version made, but it's not included here, I have no reason to buy a copy I consider incomplete. On the contrary, I now have reasons against buying, as in the case of the Whispered World and Chains of Satinav.

Question to the devs: You and other folks in Daedalic already created few astonishing universes. Are you planning on doing any kind of crossover between them? Wouldn't it be fun if Edna met Rufus and Sadwick?

It sure is kinda strange not including the german version but to it's credit the english version sounds great too. Still I also would rather play it in german as it's intended to.

Question: What are your future projects?/Are you working on new unannounced games?

Yep, that looks like it

Doh. Again a German adventure without the original German language. And this time there is no additional publisher to blame. Daedalic is self-publishing this one, so I am very disappointed with them. Why don't they release the German version here? I am not going to buy this unless I get the German version DRM free!

THE MUPPETS CONFIRMED

They really want to screw German customers over for money :-/

Question for Devs: Any chance of getting Matthias Kempke's earlier, non-Daedalic games, that is What Makes You Tick (free) and the sequel WMYT: A Stitch In Time (commercial) here on GOG?

Yep. Seems like it. Sure, Germany is a good market for adventures so there is more money to be had if you don't follow GoG's 'One world - one price' tenet. But up to now Daedalic always blamed their publisher for squeezing the German market, saying that they themselves don't like this decision and so on. But now they do the same themselves. Very disappointing.

Vote for it! :D

You´ve tickled my inner adventure-child, preordered :)

Because the want you to buy the german retail version or eventually the steam version, which is or would be nearly twice as expensive as the gog.com version. There is a "cheap" international version with english audio and all available subtitles and, especially for the german market an expensive german version.

And just like that they persuaded me to not buy the game at all unless maybe someday when GOG puts it on sale for peanuts. Nice going, Daedalic. Way to make money.

If you already own Deponia but would like a code to gift to others, go here (http://www.gog.com/promo/the_night_of_the_rabbit_preorders_130513), click gift entire pack, send it to your email address, use the code to redeem The Night Of The Rabbit on your own account and then the code can be reused by someone else to redeem Deponia.

Question for the developers: How do you feel about the... evolution of the adventure genre? Were there any eras you liked or disliked, and is there any games you took lessons from when designing Night of the Rabbit?

Well, calling the German version expensive is a bit exaggerated, maybe, considering that it apparantly contains the soundtrack and a 60-minute audio drama, and that you can pay a similar price for a hardcover book or graphic novel, two music CDs or three movies at the cinema, so for someone who really cherishes the hours spent with this game, that's not too expensive, I think.

But the fact remains that you have to pay twice as much as for the international version (which might be just as good or better, but still a translation), and that you currently can't buy the original version on GOG. In theory, I could imagine paying $40 for a GOG version that includes all the goodies plus German & English language support, if I really wanted the game right now. But I'd want it to be complete for that price. I wouldn't pay as much for a German-only non-GOG version and I wouldn't to pay $20 for a non-German GOG version. Besides, like others here I still have lots of other games to catch up on, so there's no hurry to buy it now.


Sadly, I'd assume that the German speaking GOG fans are a minority that they can afford to displease compared to the paying retail customers and Steam fans (a majority of which might never have heard of GOG.com). :(
