Agatha would surely like it!

The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief, an episodic crime adventure--full of twists and turns throughout its three episodes--that immerses you in both sides of the story, combining elements of classic whodunit and heist stories, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $19.99 for the first week!

Paris, 1960. Europe is in the grip of the gentleman master thief The Raven. His burglaries are spectacular and he always emerges unscathed. Young hotshot investigator Nicolas Legrand stuns the public when he confronts the master thief and fatally wounds him. London, 1964. An ancient ruby – one of the legendary 'Eyes of the Sphinx' – is stolen from the British Museum. The only clue at the crime scene: a raven feather. Is somebody trying to follow in the Raven's footsteps? – Legrand is back on the case. At the same time in Zurich a phone rings. Constable Anton Jakob Zellner looks up from behind a mountain of files. He has no idea what lies hidden in a bank vault, just a few hundred meters away from him. As he reaches for the receiver his life takes a crucial turn…

The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief includes all three episodes: Chapter I: The Eye of the Sphinx, Chapter II: Ancestry of Lies, and Chapter III: A Murder of Ravens. This point-and-click adventure from the creators of The Book of Unwritten Tales embodies everything that made crime mystery novels so popular, and feels as if it was based on some unknown work of Agatha Christie. With all the exciting enigmas, thrilling plot, cinematic presentation,and optional puzzles and scoring system for adventure game veterans, this exciting adventure title will keep you entertained and intrigued for many hours.

Find out a little bit more about the enigmatic master thief known only as The Raven in The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief, for only $19.99. The 20% off discount offer will last until Tuesday, October 1, at 12:59PM GMT.

Wishlisted for now - too many p&c in my backlog

Looks good, wishlisted.

Having a knee injury, I play mostly in my couch for the moment so practically, I play games with a controller and I saw on the steam page of the game that this game has full pad support but there is no mention of that on your page (like for Guacamelee or Sword Of The Stars : The Pit). So anyone could confirm that the game is fully playable with a x360 pad?

Good for you! I'd like to read your first impressions too! The game really interests me but I don't want it to collect virtual dust. I'm not in the right mood to play p&c and my backlog is really big. For example I own every Daedalic Entertainment game that was released here except for "The Night of the Rabbit" and so far I've only finished two games. Which ones? Well, judging from your avatar you finished and liked them too ;)

Nice, first Cognition and now this. I really like detective adventures. Wishlisted for now, but I'll definitely buy it eventually.

Seems pretty interesting. I like the trailer. :)

Too bad there's no goodies. Where did that trademark go?

I love GOG, but not specifically for this game.

I wake up this morning to find two big notices, one for a sale of minimalist and very simple indy platformers and one for a highly stylized and seemingly very complex adventure thriller. I myself being a simpleton am going for the platformers, but the fact that I can log on to one site and see both of these available at the same time is way too cool.

And NO I haven't been drinking.

Now I'll let the intellectuals get to the crime solving; the idiots like myself will be over here reversing gravity.

Looks ok but I dont think it will be worth its pricetag for me anyway, Im not much of a whodunit gamer, might pick it up when its on a good offer
Posted September 24, 2013
I remember reading about this and they were reasonably positive (7-ish).
A tad too rich for my blood right now, but since it's also on Steam and GamersGate I'll just wait for a sale.

That's perfectly understandable, in fact, I can personally relate to what you're trying to convey. P&c games do require a specific mindset, plenty of free time or simply for one to feel rested. Once those conditions are met however, a good adventure can make up for the time spent playing it in spades, as you're undoubtedly aware. :)

Early reports seem to indicate that the second part of The Raven is a bit weaker than the first one, so it'll be a while before I post my impressions - I'd like to finish the game first and judge it for myself.

Absolutely! We should totally attempt to obtain permission from Daedalic to start an Edna&Harvey fan club. ;)

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Cognition and The Raven. You must really like September, GOG, I can't explain a shower of good releases otherwise :).
