I'm not even sure what to expect from this game just that it looks sort of neat. Is it actually any good? I remember reading some mixed thoughts..? I'm not sure.

Don't doubt. It's a simple game but it's got a lot of charm and personality. You'll probably love it.

And I add my self to the 'xelios, thank you' list.

I really only needed it to drop to 10$, but I'm not gonna pass up on a 5$ Costume Quest.

This steep a discount, this soon after release is insane. They could have gotten so much more of my money.

Bleh. I just bought the RoyalIndie Bundle and got in on the new Humble Bundle. Then I picked up the Overlord Pack and Call of Cthulhu/Breath of Death VII from Steam this morning.

Costume Quest, I'm sorry...but you're just gonna have to wait.

Yeah I'll give my entire TF2 backpack for Costume Quest.

EDIT:

Holy cow two gaffers just gave me Costume Quest at the exact same time. Gaffers are the best. Much love guys. Happy Halloween. Twinduct and Xelious are awesome guys!

I just gifted Costume Quest to my friend :) Such an awesome game, just want to spread the love. Thinking about double-dipping myself (own it on 360), but I'm not sure yet.

It's one of the most charming games ever made, and makes you feel like a child again. It's just filled to the brim with joy and happiness.

Why isn't Costume Quest $10 or less :(

They aren't going to put a game on sale that came out less than two weeks ago, wait till Christmas. On that note I'm surprised Psychonauts isn't on sale.

Super Meat Boy was 75% off 21 days after release.

QuantumBro said:
Super Meat Boy sold like crazy those first 21 days they had nothing to lose by putting it on sale, I doubt Costume Quest has sold that many copies considering it never got into the top 20. Someone should just tweet a Double Fine employee to ask them why it isn't on sale.

The trailer sold me right when it shows the montage of little kids turned into the robots/people/creatures they were dressed up as for Halloween. Plus, it's Tim Schafer.

Just how much of an RPG is it? I'm kinda curious.
Click to expand...

Not much. Very light game on leveling mechanics and combat, it compensates that with kilotons of charm though.


And in the spirit of halloween quote to see A.R.E.S. the game and the berserker suit DLC steam keys:

Just out of interest- is Costume Quest 'OK' for a 10 year old or a 6 year old to play, or is it a bit more adult-themed than I'm thinking?

It's completely fine from what I've played - it does seem to be aimed at kids (of all ages).

It's rated E+10 for Cartoon Violence. I'm sure it's fine.

I see. Thanks! It does look like a cute little game. I wonder why the deal isn't featured on Steam's main page or the Halloween sale page, though. It's not even on the top sellers list.

I didn't take the codes, by the way =P

Nice to see another Humble Bundle. Speaking of that, I still have Steam keys to give away from the last one. If anyone wants one reply with your Steam ID and the one you want. I've got:

SpaceChem

I'm pretty sure none have been used so my apologies if you get it and it doesn't work. :-\
Click to expand...

Bumping this for a new page. Also, I have a code for Sequence that Feep gave me if anyone who somehow didn't already get it wants it. I bought the game to show support so I never used the code.

Awesome. Bloke just PM's me out of the blue and gifts me Costume Quests. Xelious and Twinduct are 2 generous gaffers.

Thanks again.

Just bought myself Arkham City and Costume Quest. I have absolutely zero time to play Costume Quest right now but I sure as hell intend on playing it, and at the current price it would be rude of me to say now. I'm absolutely hyped for Arkham City. At least now I can sleep a little easier knowing that I've paid up for it and am ready to get going the minute Rocksteady and Steam let me.

Goddamnit, I was so close of making out of a Steam sale without buying anything for once.

Lets see if I can resist Custome Quest this time or not.
