Oh that’s great! I backed _Conspirocracy_ exactly today 7 years ago on [Indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/conspirocracy#/) and was released about a year later on Desura (remember this platform?).

Glad to see this game is still available!

At this price (€1.30), it doesn’t even matter if that is Earl Boen doing LeChuck’s voice or not in episode 1.

> Röki, a heartfelt adventure game that marries old school point and click ideas with a modern fairytale narrative that’s both charming and devastating in equal measure. A Scandinavian-inspired story. The main character (a girl), instead of dead bodies, she’s collecting celestial stone discs, strange sophorus flowers, and jars of sticky black goo. [[Röki - Launch Trailer] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nNQNpC6b4I) Available on steam, 15% off

**Röki** is currently on sale on [GOG](https://www.gog.com/game/roki) and [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1067540/Rki/) (-50%).

From a review:

> It gives me the same feeling as playing an Ori game. That same enchanting and surreal atmosphere, that pulls you into the world, where you end up meeting mythical folkloric creatures, exploring abandoned ruins of past civilizations and trying to rescue a family member from a the “villain”.

Altered Destiny is (re-released) on Gog with a discount. I’ve played it in the early 90s, but I can’t remember the story nor the puzzles. So maybe it’s not that good… 😉

**Kajko i Kokosz** ([GOG](https://www.gog.com/game/kajko_i_kokosz)) is a Polish point’n’click adventure from 1994/1995 in comic book art style (based on a comic book).  
It was [released on GOG about a year ago](https://www.gog.com/news/bspedz_weekend_z_dwiema_kultowymi_produkcjamib) but only caught my attentention now when I saw the sale (2.19€ / $2.58).

![Kajko i Kokosz](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/e/e874338916b2d90c1a2d4773b645524220627e97.png)

There is only a Polish version on GOG (there was also a Czech version I’ve read), but there are people out there doing fan translations and stuff, yay!  
You can get the English translation for both CD and Floppy version at [Vogons](https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=841061#p841061).  
(Note: Press ‘t’ to turn on/off subtitles when playing the CD version.)

Often dialogue is shortened to fit the original character count (translation was done directly in executable) so it can sound awkward.  
I’ve just tried it and for me the English version is definitely better understandable than the Polish one 🙂

> Altered Destiny

Back in the early 90s there was an attraction touring the german funfairs called “Sensorium” that refered to itself as a “theatre of the senses” the basic concept was that of a multimedia show where you got the feel of entering a computer all Tron style! It featured a lasershow, fire, waterfountains, simulated snow and above all scenes from various then current computer games on a big video screen. Altered Destiny was apprently one of them, Wing Commander 2 another. I seem the remember a show where they had scenes from Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. I also heard of other games featured.

Do any of you remember that? It was an amazing show, too bad I only saw one.
