GOG's Winter Sale has begun, and with it, there's this free game: https://www.gog.com/game/shadow_tactics_blades_of_the_shogun (for another 18 hours and change)

Also there are some flash deals that last like two days each (the current ones end in about 18 hours and change as well); right now they're Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition for $2.99 and a game I have no idea about called Pumpkin Jack. Presumably by tomorrow there will be another pair of games on flash sale like this.

(You can see these on GOG's frontpage, which you'll go to when you claim the freebie.)

Also there's another limited-time freebie: https://www.gog.com/game/cave_storys_secret_santa - this one is free until January since it's a publisher promo.

There's less than 17 hours left as of my writing this.

Also there are new flash deals.

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

TL;DR the developer of This War of Mine is donating all profits to Red Cross Ukraine.
GOG, the store, is also donating its share of the profits of sales of this on GOG.

Store link: https://www.gog.com/en/game/this_war_of_min...omplete_edition

Yes, it's on sale at 80% off.

This isn't the only place This War Is Mine is being sold; if you want to pay more, check other stores/platforms, or buy extra copies for your friends.

Another charity fundraiser for Ukraine, this time in the form of another giant bundle on itch.io:

https://itch.io/b/1316/bundle-for-ukraine

FYI:
* This bundle currently contains 991 items, of which "more than 600" have never been in a major bundle before.
* All proceeds will be donated to charity, split evenly between International Medical Corps and Voices of Children. (These are described further on the bundle page.)
* Only paid products are in this bundle. This is different from past giant bundles.

Final Fantasy XIII is $8 on Steam right now. I don't know if any other series games are discounted, I only got the email about 13 because it's on my wish list.

--------------------

"To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

FWIW it's also $8 (or technically $7.99) on Humble Store (which sells Steam keys).

$7.99 seems to be the standard price for "FFXIII is on sale". Is There Any Deal says that the historical low was when it went to $4.80 on Squenix's own web store, but the price history suggests that it's probably never going back down that low again. (There was also one time it was apparently on sale on Newegg, for a little more than that but less than $7.99, but it also looks like an anomaly.)

Anyway, Humble Store also has a discount on Tokyo Dark (another Squenix-published thing, this time developed by Cherrymochi), for $4.49.

Meanwhile...

https://www.humblebundle.com/stand-with-ukraine-bundle

One more Ukraine-related bundle. This time it's from Humble Bundle. All videogames are Steam keys, I think, but there are also other items, including the rulebooks for Pathfinder 2e and Starfinder, and some comics.

This supports Come Back Alive.

GSC Game World is a Ukrainian developer, whose most famous work is the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, which is set in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. There are a few other games of theirs there too, including the Cossacks series and a few other strategy games of that nature.

Aside from this, I noticed that Tokyo Xanadu eX+, a Falcom JRPG and part of the Dragon Slayer spinoff Xanadu series, is on flash sale at -80%, for $11.99. 18 hours and change left. https://www.gog.com/en/game/tokyo_xanadu_ex

There's a second freebie as part of the GOG Summer Sale. This time it's Venetica.

https://www.gog.com/en/game/venetica

Also they added more discounted games. Including a bunch of things from XSEED (the localizer/publisher of some of the Ys and Trails games, as well as other assorted stuff like Corpse Party and a Wizardry game).

That's the third Shantae game! It's actually a direct sequel to this game, the second Shantae game: https://www.gog.com/game/shantae_riskys_rev...e_directors_cut
That's selling for just $4.99 right now.

While I haven't played Pirate's Curse yet (it was actually on my wishlist!), I've played Risky's Revenge, and other games from the same developer, WayForward, as well as other games with the same composer, Jake "virt" Kaufman, and I think highly of them. I definitely recommend both games.

There's another giant itch bundle!

https://itch.io/b/1404/queer-games-bundle-2022

588 items, made by 413 developers, all of whom are LGBTQ, for $60.

Actually there are two. They contain the same games.

https://itch.io/b/1405/queer-games-bundle-2...you-can-edition

The second is minimum $10. The first one is just there to encourage people to pay more.

Unlike the other giant itch bundles so far, this is not a charity bundle -- those developers who opted in to receive money from the bundle. (The $60 was specifically chosen to be the standard launch price of a single AAA release.)



Besides this, itch.io is having it's Summer Sale right now.

https://itch.io/sales

For those who are unfamiliar, itch.io hosts a variety of indie games, generally lesser-known ones, but I've occasionally seen some more famous indie games there. Games are typically provided as DRM-free installers/archives, but some games also provide Steam keys (generally not with giant bundles though). The devs are mostly westerners, but I've occasionally found some Japanese doujin circles there, such as this one.

Two more giant itch bundles are active right now. Both are for charity, specifically abortion-related charities, and both are $10 minimum.

https://itch.io/b/1472/indie-bundle-for-abortion-funds

https://itch.io/b/1471/worthy-of-better-str...oductive-rights



Also, there's a big sale on JRPGs, VNs, and various other Japanese or similar games going on at GOG.

https://www.gog.com/promo/2022_moon_festival

And on top of that there's also a sale on Squenix games at GOG.

https://www.gog.com/promo/2022_square_enix_summer_sale

(But not Squenix's JRPGs, because Squenix's Japanese side doesn't like making their games DRM-free for some reason. So it's just Squenix's western IPs.)

Role reversal at its finest.

Humble Store is having a Capcom publisher sale right now: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/ca...publisher-sale/

Specifically to my interest, I've noticed that the Mega Man games -- the five Legacy Collections (classic 1-6, classic 7-10, X1-X4, X5-X8, and Zero 1-4 + ZX) and Mega Man 11 -- are discounted to 50% or deeper.

Everything is in the form of Steam keys. (Unfortunately, there's not yet an official DRM-free way to play these games on PC.)

GOG is having a big sale on Falcom games:

https://www.gog.com/en/promo/20220927_nihon_falcom_sale

This includes basically everything developed by Falcom that's on GOG -- yes, both the earlier XSEED-published games and the more recent NISA-published games. And even Gurumin (which is at a pretty good $2.99, at 70% off), which was published by Mastiff.

(The only exception is Tokyo Xanadu (and its DLCs), because for some reason its publisher, Aksys, isn't participating.)

This sale coincides with the long-awaited official English-language release of Trails from Zero, which is the first game in the second arc of Trails games. But it also includes the Ys games and other sundry stuff (e.g. Xanadu Next and the Zwei games).

For anyone not sure where to start with the Trails series: there are four major story arcs so far, in the following order:

* Games set in the Liberl Kingdom: Trails in the Sky (a.k.a. "FC"), Trails in the Sky SC, Trails in the Sky the 3rd
* Games set in Crossbell State: Trails from Zero, Trails to Azure (not yet officially released in English)
* Games set in the Erebonian Empire: Trails of Cold Steel and its three sequels (Cold Steel II, III, and IV), plus Trails into Reverie (not yet released)
* Games set in the Calvard Republic: Kuro no Kiseki ("Trails in the Dark") (not yet released in English) plus future games

It's highly recommended to play the first game in the arc before subsequent games in that arc.

But if you're not sure where to start with the series as a whole, just get the very first game, which has aged well with some updates and is also the cheapest option (at just ten bucks, when 50% off).
