It matters a lot!

Gray Matter, the long awaited comeback to the point and click adventure genre from Jane Jensen, the critically acclaimed writer/director of the Gabriel Knight series, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the first three days!

The human brain. So close, and yet so distant – our greatest collective mystery. Through neurology we study the gray matter firing away underneath our skulls. The billions of neurons, relentless, setting off electrical impulses to travel an endless network of the human nervous system; dictating, in its apparent chaos, our every single sensation. It’s a biological process so sophisticated, that it has earned the right to call itself “I”. In the endeavor to unravel our own brains, we’re fascinated with that which fools us: the supernatural, memories, sleight of hand. Our perception of reality often inconsistent with the factual, or the rational. Perhaps it’s this weakness that holds our key to understanding the human condition. Perhaps it is not a weakness at all?

Gray Matter tells the story of Samantha Everett, a young female illusionist searching for her lucky break on a road-trip through europe. When mechanical failure brings her to a halt in the middle of nowhere, she crosses paths with the mysterious and troubled neuro-biologist Professor David Styles. He quickly draws Sam into his world of the inexplicable and the terrifying, where scientific research dabbles in the supernatural. The game is a classical point and click adventure by all accounts. You’ll explore the authentic, beautifully hand drawn streets and interiors of modern London and Oxford, accompanied by an elegant, haunting soundtrack. See through the eyes of Sam and Professor Styles as your progress through logical, masterfully crafted puzzles that will never have you reaching for a walkthrough. Sam’s unique skill set as a magician introduces an original twist on the gameplay as well, allowing you to carefully plan, then execute your illusions and get precisely what you need... out of anyone.

Point and click your way through the story straight from the pen of Jane Jensen in Gray Matter, for only $3.99 on GOG.com. The 60% off special launch discount lasts only until Friday, July 18, at 9:59AM GMT.

undeadcow: +1 to the shelf here, not sure why everyone just wishlists new releases... especially at 60% discount.
Yeah, that's true. It's not going to be discounted much further anytime soon, if ever.

But, the abundance of games and sales means that most people have huge backlogs and aren't going to play the game anytime soon anyway.
Nice! Thanks GOG. ^^
Wow, what a welcomed surprise and deeply discounted too! I think I'll add this to the pile ;-)
And...bought ! I was waiting for this game ever since I found out it would come on GOG(I even predicted it was the Enigmatic Hint about two weeks ago-and I was wrong,as it was the Black Mirror finally). Although I haven't played it before, it seems interesting-and at a launch discount it was much easier to bite ! :-)

Edit-typos and some clarification

That's a valid point in which case it could be self defeating to wishlist the game pending future discount at all at all if one's backlog is so huge.
Lots of people anticipating this one. Sounds great, awesome price. OK, then. Bought!
Not right away, but perhaps some day...
Great launch price indeed !

Well in my case (a) I already own the game and consequently (b) I'd probably save the money towards buying a new game :). My wallet is still hurting after the combined GOG and Steam sales of late...
Nice to see Gray Matter here. It's not Jane's best game, but it is, at least, better than Moebius. With the launch price I can recommend it.
Hmmm, I just noticed that the Steam version has three extra languages, Spanish, Italian, and French -

Is there a reason the GOG version does not include them?

Awesome, so glad to see this game released here! Already own it on disk (though think it has securom on it :-/ ), so was doubting to get this on release day, but with this discount, hell yeah, gimme it! :-)

Thank you GOG and Viva Media for bringing this game here, and for the fantastic discount! Hope this is the first of many Viva Media games to be released on here!
Nice one:)
Thank you very much GOG. Damn DTP wasn't able to bring it. Hope Jensen can make her sequel to the game.
