Inquisitor, Legend of Grimrock, Geneforge 1-5, Torchlight, and The Real Texas--each 75% off!

With less then two weeks before holidays there's very little time left to make all the preparations. Since it's Friday, and you probably have some free time, you could think about making some arrangements. But what to take care of first? What needs to be done? Sometimes it's hard to get organized. No worries, we got you covered. Here's a list of some great [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/indie_rpgs]Indie RPGs, that'll remind you what to do before the holiday time.

Let's start with a little bit of Inquisitor, because, you know what they say: "nothing brings out the holiday mood like heretics roasting on an open fire". No one ever said that, actually. Um, hopefully. But there are heretics to be roasted in this gritty, dark, medieval RPG. On top of that, this old-school isometric gem of an RPG also offers complex gameplay, open-ended world, and over 1.5 million (!) words worth of in-game dialogs. All that and more for as little as $3.74, for the next 24 hours!

Are you planning some holiday re-decorations? Legend of Grimrock, the old-shool dungeon-crawling party-based RPG in the vein of Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder series (but with very modern graphics!), will let you do just that! How? The game contains a built-in map designing tool, that lets the user create their own unique levels on top of the lengthy main campaign. Why not use that power to recreate the North Pole toy workshop with trolls and skeletons in the role of Santa's little helpers? $3.74, today only!

What about reindeers? Geneforge 1-5, the content-heavy isometric RPG with unique mechanics that let you create and shape genetically-engineered beast to fight for you, can take care of that part of holiday tradition. If you can craft a 7 feet tall, 5-eyed, 3-legged massively muscular monster using your arcane flesh-shaping knowledge, then producing a reindeer, even a strangely mutated one, should not be a problem. The whole series of 5 games can now be yours for just $3.74. That's less than $0.75 per game, today!

And gifts? You can't have holidays without some serious loot drop! Torchlight has that covered. The masterfully crafted colorful hack-and-slash from the makers of Diablo has all kinds of treasure, gold, epic armor, and cool sharp objects dropping from virtually every monster you gleefully slay. The GOG.com version of the game comes bundled with a full soundtrack featuring the music of Matt Uelmen of Diablo fame. If you somehow misplaced your carol CDs, it'll do just nicely. The underground beneath the town of Torchlight is your to conquer for only $3.74, in today's special sale.

A holiday table wouldn't be complete without at least one crazy relative. The Real Texas is just that--it's bizzare, misunderstood, and not easy to describe to people who don't know it. But, just like most weird uncles, it has a lot of charm, very complex personality, and one hell of a incredible story to tell. At this time of year, it just not wouldn't be right to ignore someone--or somegame--like that, right? Especially at the ridiculous price of only $3.74.

All those Indie RPGs, are 75% off today, whether you get just one, a few, or the whole bundle. Getting them all is highly recommended though, as normally you'd have to pay almost $75 for the whole package that today can be yours for just $18.70! What to do with over 55 bucks you just saved? We've got way over 450 ideas in our catalog, and they're all up to 50% off for the holiday season.

Happy holidays!

Leroux:
Thanks for the excellent review. That's very helpful. I'll probably enjoy it more now with more realistic expectations. The other reviews I've read were all a little too enthusiastic.
Ah, Inquisitor will finally be on my shelf.

/me puts marshmallows on stick and warms hands by fire

Ubivis: And it is just Day 3 of the Holiday Promo ;)
Yeah i know got 7 on day 1 although all on my wishlist at the time. Going for games on gog sales and dlc on steam games
Amazing promo on Inquisitor. Bought!

Leroux: EDIT: Now that you mentioned Zelda, I think one of my thoughts after playing The Real Texas for a while was: If this game had 2D RPGMaker-style graphics, it wouldn't even stand out that much, and it might actually be more charming.
If it had 2D RPGMaker-style graphics, I might've bought it on the strength of the reviews, but as things stand the visuals just rub me the wrong way...
By the way, the person who writes these promo blurbs is the Shakespeare of the gaming community. Great job!

Funny, it's the opposite for me. RPG maker-style graphics are one of my biggest turn-offs in a game.

The thing is, I thought this game was a case of "don't judge a book by its cover", something lead me to believe that underneath the crude look there might be a wealth in quality story-telling and mature themes. But after playing it for a while I got to the conclusion that it's precisely what it looks like, just a playground to toy around with, including puerile humor and not a lot of depth regarding the characters. It's actually more light-hearted than serious and not all that clever either.

Had been on the fence with Inquisitor, but at this price it'd be rude not to - bought with thanks!
Picked up Real Texas and Inquisitor
Been looking at them for long time so I just had to
Nothing left in my Wishlist, it's gone completely empty. It's a strange feeling really...

Will wait for GOG.com to convince Electronic Games to release The Legend of Kyrandia games at last.

I've made a promise to purchase 100 copies for GOG community.

Don't know if I want Inquisitor or not. I seem to recall talk about torture when the game first appeared on GOG, but I can't seem to find anything relevant when I search the forums. Just people saying it's tedious...

...is it?
picking up inquisitor tonight. Thanks!
