The Samaritan Paradox, a hand-drawn indie point-and-click in the best tradition of adventure gaming classics, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.99 for the first week!

A famous writer has died. His daughter seeks the help of you, Ord Salomon, to find his secret last novel. During the search, questions will emerge. Did her father really kill himself? What is the secret novel all about? What is going on at the island of Fardo? Crack codes, decipher secrets & find a lost fortune in this exciting detective adventure, with retro style hand-drawn art, 2000+ voice lines, 60+ rooms to explore, 20+ characters to talk to, 1 lost fortune to find!

The Samaritan Paradox is set in Sweden in the 80's. Ord Salomon has agreed to help Sara Bergwall find the book her father, Jonatan Bergwall, wrote before he died. During the course of this treasure hunt, he learns that Jonatan was investigating the weapons industry, and more specifically some covert affairs with foreign dictatorships. But more questions arise. What is the book about, and why does Sara want Ord to find it for her? Did her Alzheimer's-stricken mother know the secret before she grew too demented to share it? And how did Jonatan actually die?

If you're in the mood for some classic point-and-click adventuring and you value traditional approach to that genre, you can't go wrong with The Samaritan Paradox, for only $7.99 on GOG.com. The 25% off launch promo offer lasts until Friday, April 25, at 9:59AM GMT.

Crosmando: Is this an AGS (Adventure game studio) game?
Main website has AGS at the top so i assume it is one of those....
Looks interesting. I feel tempted to point and click the "Buy" button.
Might try the demo out.
By the way anyone tried
Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok ? (off same site)

m0ds: Thanks GOG! Great to see it here, thanks for your help and positive trust in Screen 7. Yes, don't worry, Remi is firmly secured for two more games part of the "Devil Came Through Here" Trilogy ;) But also very pleased to publish Petter's game, he's been a good friend from the AGS community for over a decade now. I owe him this much. Thanks folks for buying the game DRM-free from GOG! Like, the way we bought games when I first met Petter... Man, the internet barely existed at that point. What was GOG then? Great New Games presumably? Hahaha!! Well, rather like it is today then. Thanks for that! :)

Hope you folks enjoy the game.
I do have to say that Samaritan is pretty challenging, at least for me, adventure game wise :) Definitely nice to see that :D

Heroine's Quest is a real masterpiece, I played it through! It's like Quest for Glory was reborn. Great playability, three different approaches (thief, warrior, mage), original gameworld and setting (norse mythology), a good feeling of adventure and wonderfully pixelated graphics. And the best thing: It's absolutely free.

As Herr von Thal said, QfG inspired Adventure/RPG. It's great and free, play it.

Downloading it from another link (not the main one which seems to redirect to St**m). The soundtrack is available free as well. Awesome :)
