Sword of the Stars: The Pit, a modern Sci-Fi roguelike turn-based RPG that challenges you to explore an ancient, monster-infested alien complex, is now available 25% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.49 for the first week!

Are you prepared for the Pit? If you think you are, scout, you've already failed and our world is doomed. I want you to really understand this: you are not prepared. Nothing in the world could have prepared you. No amount of training, not even years of experience, nothing. So if you're feeling confident, that you can go to the Feldspar Mountains, scavenge the ancient Suul'ka complex, steal their secrets, and return with the cure for the Ghoul Plague--we're dead. Our only hope lies in your ability to doubt yourself, second-guess your own judgment, and think twice about your every step. This is how dangerous the Pit is. I would know. I've been there. I reached level 3 before my squad was decimated by mutant beasts. So, soldier, I'll ask you one final time, and this time I want you to really think before you give me your answer: are you prepared?

Sword of the Stars: The Pit is a phenomenal turn-based RPG turning the traditional roguelike dungeon exploration, item scumming, and careful planning into a modern gaming experience. The infamous Pit is randomly generated on each playthrough, which--combined with the game's three different character classes--makes up for crazy replayability value. With tons of items to find, many equipment and character modifications, and--most importantly--a vast selection of blood-hungry monsters waiting for your every mistake, this game offers you a Sci-Fi adventure you'll be enjoying for hours and hours.

If you like challenging games that first become your passion, then an obsession, and finally an addiction, you need to grab Sword of the Stars: The Pit right now, for only $7.49 on GOG.com! The offer lasts until Thursday, April 25, at 9:59AM GMT.
Was watching TB's WTF is the other day, glad it came here.
Does this mean we can expect the rest of SotS here as well?
yay, glad this is here. May pick this up in a few days. Glad I didn't get it on steam already :)
Here's an awesome podcast where the creators go in-depth about the game and more! :D

Cool release!

Small heads up - the news article / forum post say 20% off ($7.99), but the gamecard page is 25% off ($7.49).

edit - that was fast! Already fixed. :)

I don't really have much interest in regular SotS, but this actually seems pretty awesome :o

That too :D
I know that Judas is a big fan of this one. He's even thinking about making a brief "let's play" video in which he could express the whole extent of his love towards it. What do you think, guys? Should we make him actually go through with this idea? :-)

Will it be SFW? How far does his "love" extend to?
But yes, go ahead, and then the rest of you do the same for a game you love.
