Unrest - Special Edition, an fantastic RPG set in alternative ancient India, full of meaningful choices affecting the branching narrative, is available 10% off for Windows and Mac OS X, on GOG.com. That's $22.49 for the first week!

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/unrest_special_edition][/url]Set in a fantasy interpretation of ancient India, Unrest is an adventure RPG focused on story and choices. Play as five ordinary people who are struggling to get by in the in the famine-stricken city-state of Bhimra. Brave poverty, disease, treason, political and social upheaval. Face unique burdens and gripping dilemmas as you struggle to survive in each chapter...but choices made to help one character may well make life harder for another. In Unrest, there are no heroes of legend, there is no mystical quest, and fate has not chosen you. You're on your own.

Unrest - Special Edition lets you take on the role of a peasant girl faced with an arranged marriage, a priest troubled by his radical temple, a slum dweller with a dangerous past, an ambassador from a militant nation, and a mercenary captain far out of his depth - all as part of the same narrative. Hard decisions made in one chapter have consequences in the next. A choice made as one character may well determine the fate of another. There are no fail states in Unrest - if a character dies or fails in their objectives, that becomes part of the tale. Organic, branching dialogues designed to offer an unparalleled level of control and involvement to the player. The Special Edition offered here comes with The Unrest OST, a 12-track instrumental album inspired by Indian classical music, a novella set in Bhimra, high-res digital posters, including a concept map of Bhimra, behind the scenes developer footage as well as some concept art & design documents.

If you're looking for an RPG experience that actually focuses on playing a role, make sure to check out Unrest - Special Edition for $22.49. Alternatively, you can get the basic version for $13.49, and if you like, you can always upgrade it later. The 10% off special release discount on all things Unrest lasts until Wednesday, July 30, at 3:59PM GMT.

Maverick1988: Basically the "Special Edition" is bonus content like a soundtrack, images or videos that normally in this platform (by default) comes for free on our buy (who doesn't come here for the amazing prices and FREE bonus content?)... but now we have to pay for it.

What? ._.

*something is starting to crumble*
We still give free goodies for those games where we can but for newer games it's either offer the game without the Special Edition goodies and force people to buy the Special Edition elsewhere or give everyone a choice of whether they wish to buy the Special Edition of a newly released game here.

Leroux: It's not above $15, only the Special Edition is. It's a bit unusual and bewildering though to see that the bonus stuff (soundtrack, novella, behind-the-scenes documentary) has the same price as the base game. It must be some pretty awesome bonus stuff. ;)
avatar
HertogJan: Not to mention you need to buy the basic version + the special edition DLC to get all the bonus stuff. As both are 13.49 and the SE is 22.49, that's 4.49 for 2 wallpapers and a 'diary of a Bhimra spy'.

HertogJan: Is there a reason why the basic edition bonus content isn't in the Special Edition, or is that an error? The game page doesn't list it.
The non-SE content shows up on your game shelf if you buy the Special Edition :)

HypersomniacLive: Since it's creating some confusion, why not add it to the game card as well? ;-)
Well, we did include a bulletpoint that states that the Special Edition includes the regular edition of the game on the game card :)

We also wanted to show just what comes with the Special Edition without mixing the non-SE items so that prospective buyers could judge for themselves :)

PaterAlf: And yet it is confusing. Maybe you could add something like "+ the bonus content from the normal edition" without listing it again. That way it would be completely clear that no bonus content is missing when you buy the special edition.
Ok first bullet point edited, should see it on your end in a few seconds :)

thuey: Don't forget some people earlier in the thread complained that the SE price was too high for an indie game. I mean, I suppose it is, but it comes with goodies.

So GOG is in the position of everything in one bundle only but low sales vs. giving gamers a choice between whether they want just the game or not.

IAmSinistar: Oh I know, I was just being facetious. I think it's good that they offer different versions for those who want the game versus those want the works. I was just implying that they should give us everything at the low price point, as they do with classic releases. But I understand the market realities prohibit that.

Basically I just wanted to razz Judas a little. :)
You can razz me all you like but it won't change market realities :P

IAmSinistar: What about making big sad puppy eyes? Does that work on corporations?

UO.OU
The only thing I know of that is guaranteed to work on any corporation is the sound of money :)

(note I am speaking from experience and in a declaratory sense, not exhorting you to spend money in any way :) )

IAmSinistar: I'm looking forward to playing the next game in the series. As well as the third, when I have the hardware to run it.

IanM: is Unrest a full game then? or just the first episode?
Unrest is a full game and I believe IAmSinistar was referring to the Witcher 3 :)

IanM: Thanks, makes sense now.

Has anyone played enough Unrest yet to share some thoughts? in theory it sounds like it should appeal to me, the themes and setting are outside of the typical, yet the sales pitch really puts me off - some of the blurb makes it seem like a crude, politically correct lecture...
I am waiting on the Linux version myself so I have no impressions to share just yet :)

Silverhawk170485: Yes, what happened to the Linux versions which were promised to come to GOG a long time ago ... when I was young? :)
I stole them mwahahahaha :P

Crosmando: Does this game have stats? I don't see any stats in the screenshots. Also no combat?
It's more of a role playing game than a roll playing game :)
