You can buy it at 3€ and, if after playing it you feel it was worth more, you can buy it again at the next 75% sale on another platform. For some games I bought soundtracks / DLCs I did not need just to round up my contribution to the authors.
Good point! I guess I used to do that a lot more back in the 80s and early 90s, when I started with a pirated copy and would eventually buy the games I really liked and played a lot.
I still do it occasionally if it means getting a DRM free version of a game that I have on physical media or Steam. I also buy soundtracks if I like the music and there is a CD release. And other merch, if there’s something that strikes my fancy. Though that’s quite rare.
Anyway, I’ll keep that in mind when the next sale comes around
.
That’s why I like the “pay what you like” option on Itch.io and Humble Bundle. ![]()
On Gog and other platforms I follow the way @Goodmold suggested it.
Meanwhile… no one showed any interest in the free keys for Ravenloft and the Tower of Time games.
I’ll wait another week and maybe post the keys here with a spoiler tag.
If I remember
and they only remain valid for a month or so
I’m with @kaiman: I wouldn’t play the games. So hopefully someone else will pick up the keys who like the/such games.
Thank you, @Sushi, for the keys and the contest! ![]()
Here they are:
Dungeons & Dragons Ravenloft series 2VNLF68EFFEF5D5E39
Tower of Time QBAL1BAFD402405B14
They expire November 6th and 14th respectively
Or they might have been claimed by someone else already.
Hello!, I just saw this and I picked them up, ever since I upscaled the Ravenloft posters I had the idea to play those, but then either forgot or wasn’t in the mood to buy them.
I was only going to pick the Ravenloft one, but then I saw the Tower of Time looked interesting, so I shamelessly picked that one too.
Thank you!

Emergency dispatch simulator 911 Operator is free on Steam to October 29, 2025
Some more gog keys for games I already have and/or will never play anyway:
Summary
Xcom2: PV9FB88C9719BCED84
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: YEAH-KEEP-DREAMING
Stasis is free on GOG for the next 2 days or so
It’s from the same developers that made Beautiful Desolation, and while I did not like it that much, it was still a pretty impressive game.
Entirely unrelated, but funny enough, in my comment about Beautiful Desolation I closed with mentioning Crusader Kings III, and just this week I dusted that off to start a new campaign, now that the world has been expanded to include most of Asia. I think The Great Circle will have to wait …
Definitely one of the stranger games:
Felix the Reaper
You take on the role as Felix, whose job is to make sure that people die. To do this, Felix must work in the shadows and rearrange faith so that death is always the end result.
And the guy dances while doing it too.
For free on Epic this week
I’ll post GOG keys for D&D Dark Sun and Krynn Series here in a week or two unless if someone has a heartfelt story to tell why they should call dibs on them.
I wouldn’t mind checking out the D&D Krynn Series…
Not sure how the videogame version holds up… But I was a bigtime Dragonlance nerd back in middle school. I actually hated reading as a kid until someone gave me Dragons of Autumn Twilight (Dragonlance Chronicles Vol. 1) and then I became obsessed. I still have a D&D module set in Krynn where you can basically reenact the War of the Lance.
Such a heartwarming story deserves the win! Check your DM @yrface
No-one having equally fond memories of the Dark Sun series (or its books? Or just D&D in general?)
Sorry, no. I never got into the D&D stuff and “hardcore” roleplaying in general. However I like games with roleplaying elements.
I do have Dark Sun: Shattered Lands on CD-ROM, but I never finished it. All I remember is breaking out of the arena, making my way to another town where I climbed down a well for some dungeon crawling. Then I got distracted.
I also once briefly chatted with someone involved in the making of Dark Sun. Probably 20 years back, while working on my open source RPG. I think he was offering some of the art assets, but to me that seemed like a bad idea, so nothing more came of it.
Long story short, I do have memories, but I’d rather watch a retrospective than actually going back and playing the game
. Though my impression from what little I played was that it gave quite a bit of freedom to the player, in how to approach things. Or maybe it was just good at giving players the impression of freedom
.
Next week on Epic: Darkside Detective!!
While you wait for that, you can pick up Universe for Sale (which might be an adventure game too)
Here is the GOG code for D&D Dark Sun
