Little worlds need their gods, too!

Reus, an imaginative 2D god-game that makes you a deity of a small planet and a master to its elemental titans, will be available 10% off on GOG.com. That's only $8.99 for the first week!

Do you like to play god? Admit it--you do. Who doesn't. The absolute power that god-games give is ever so tempting and satisfying. The ability to shape the face of the world, and by extent the fates of its little inhabitants is simply intoxicating. Oh wait, did I say "little"? Well, to themselves they probably look quite regular in size. It's all a matter of perspective--every world seems tiny when you're an boundless being of limitless power. In this case, however, the planet is indeed quite small. The people living on its surface look even tinier in comparison to the elemental titans, huge beings that serve as your worldly avatars. Huge, again, is only a word that applies here conditionally. Even the giant beasts seem puny if they do your every bidding and fit on your computer screen. On your lap or your desk. In your room. At your home. In your town. In your country. In the world, also a small planet that's but a tiny blue dot floating in the endless blackness of the Universe. Perspective.

Reus puts a whole world in your hands. The planet you're destined to watch over is a complex world full of dependencies and synergies, making every act you perform cause a great impact on the gameworld and its inhabitants. You directly control the actions of giant elementals roaming its surface--may they be creative or destructive. You can raise or lower mountains, move bodies of water, cause forests to grow or die. Yours is the ultimate power. The only thing you can't affect directly are the actions of the tiny humans, possessing their own free will. Will they fear you as the bane of their land, or worship you as their divine benefactor? It's all up to you. With intriguing and diverse gameplay, lots of correlations to discover, and many challenges to complete, Reus will entertain you for a long, long time.

With unbelievable cosmic power Reus allows you to play god for only $8.99 on GOG.com. The offer lasts until Thursday, May 23, at 9:59AM GMT.

TheEnigmaticT: It's not like we don't have any other games we could release. The other release for the day is actually pretty sweet if vertical shooters is your thing.
It's old, look fine to me.

I just looked. I didn't get a good look at the game because I was too distracted by the note, "you save $1.00".

God be praised, one dollar! I don't have to go out and turn tricks tonight! REJOICE!
wtf. I stayed up an extra hour for nothing
Dammit. I was all ready to buy this. Why isn't anyone selling it yet! =(

if anyone wants to check this game out RiptidePow is playing it right now on Twitch ( www.twitch.tv/riptidepow ). The devs contacted him last night (he posted he was looking for something to play) and the dev's sent him a copy!

Holy cow, RAIDEN! All is forgiven, as far as I'm concerned.
Hmpf, seems they're going for a simultaneous release on at least Steam and GOG :/ ah well. To keep you guys busy, try learning to pronounce the name correctly:

Or just say Re-us, like even I did initially, even though I'm Dutch :P
CONSPIRACY!
:D

I thought Reus was a city nearby.

Seriously they should have had the balls to just release Reus as is on GOG. Bugger Steam.
Oh yeah the game looks pretty interesting as well

JMich: But it is Chaos Overlords, right?
*grabs his shotgun*
Right?

TheEnigmaticT: Dear JMich;

Chaos Overlords is sick today and cannot come to work. Please excuse his absence. He should be good to go next week.

Signed:

Mrs. Overlords.
Does that mean that next week Chaos Overlords and another secret classic game will be released? I like guessing what game will be released. Chaos Overlords isn't a secret anymore.
