Overland is now available, DRM-free.

Take care of a group of travelers on a post-apocalyptic road-trip across the United States in this turn-based survival game. Fight scary creatures, rescue stranded survivors, and scavenge for supplies like fuel, first aid kits, and weapons. Decide where to go next, whether it's upgrading this wrecked car, or rescuing that dog. Just remember, there are consequences for every action. Get ready for close calls, dramatic escapes, hard choices, arguing about whether or not that dog gets rescued, and the end of the world.

From the same publisher that supported the cancelling of Alec Holowka. I'll pass thank you very much.

Releasing Jenny LeClue, Mutazione, Crying Suns and Overland not just in the same month, no, on the same day. And there is still Children of Morta to consider, too.

Overland wins this round.
(I just don't know, when I will have the time to actually play it, with that constant string of (to me) interesting releases lately. :-/ Well, time will tell, I guess. :-D )

More salt for rapists and those who support them?

COUNT ME IN! :D

Looks like my review got eaten.

Add achievements to the game.

I love the aesthetic. This might be one of the only "Oregon Trail but with monsters" games that I get into. though I'm slightly sad there's no early bird sale :(

I dunno if you re-posted it, but it's up. Thanks for the review; I'll probably watch a few YouTube playthroughs before deciding.

Did they? I thought it was the Night in the Woods dev team.

I think you're counted in the "guilty until proven innocent" crowd. Should I make up accusations about you and demand you disprove them? https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/09/13/private-messages-reveal-dc-comics-writer-zoe-quinns-abusive-behavior-during-relationship-with-alec-holowka/ I dunno how legit these messages are, so I'm not going to advocate cancelling Zoe because of them.

Finji fully supported removing Alec from the dev team without even a hint of due process. They're part of the problem with cancel culture.

This especially in light of Zoe Quinn's allegations being suspect due to contradictions in her own timeline.

Alec Holowka is a rapist now? Well, okay then - not even Zoe Quinn went that far but I suppose you know better.

I have half a mind of just buying this just to spit the morons who voted down my pique at them. ;P

That cancel culture you're hiding behind is just some way to get away with your manboys ways.

Yes, I wholly support Zoe and that other developer (can't replace her name right now) because of how some of you react. I support them by default.

Although in the case of Holowka, both parties were victims I believe, one of a bad psychological state (but what can you expect from america's handling anything health related) and one of said fragile minded resulting behaviours.

Accusing one of the suicide of the other, is crass, end of story, albeit it speaks much of some people's own state of mind.



That said and put aside (no need to go further down this road, I've made my point), I need to check more reviews of Overland, it seems quite a decent release, thank you, GOG! ;)

May any of the buyer have the amiability to tell if there is an option screen for rebinding keyboard keys?

I could find no mention of proof found against him. Unless proof is presented, I consider him innocent.
Many people automatically stand against the accused, even without proof, especially in the case of sex crimes.
That is a troubling development. Due process is essential for proper justice.

I thank him for the many delightful hours I enjoyed Aquaria. I have not played any of his other games yet, though I do own both Offspring Fling and Night in the Woods.

This is just to easy to protect offenders this way, the guy DID take his own life, the same happened not so long ago in a whole another domain, so yeah. The guy needed help, for sure, but the "potential" victim of his actions shouldn't be attacked nor blamed for his suicide.

It's easy talking about "due process for justice" and distributing free passes but it seems even easier for some to blame the victims, which is way more crass.

Also you may have found no "proof" of what happened but there were crossed testimonies about strange behaviour that can't be ignored. And the suicide itself.

As far as I know I have not accused anyone of anything. Those are your words. I do not know if either allegations are true or false. I simply don't know. Not enough verifiable information to come to a conclusion.

to be fair, both of you don't know the exact details, yet still jumping on a box. Probably best to just take a seat sometimes.
