Really glad to see Depression quest get greenlit. It's incredibly well written and a realistically portrayal of mental illness. The way they deal with choices and branching paths is pretty clever. It's an experience I highly recommend. It might be a trigger for some people though so tread lightly.

I look forward to taking LSD and playing Outlast with an Oculus Rift, but I'm too scared to play Depression Quest.

I can't fathom who would need to experience a game induced depression, really I can't. Don't we have enough of it as it is?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

We should have known when they said "7 Steam games" that there would be things like A Valley Without Wind 1&2 and the first two episodes of Cognition.

Having just finished Richard and Alice, I must say (despite some glowing reviews in gaming press) that the 'game' is terrible all around. Only thing even nearing worthwhile in it is the music. Avoid, avoid, avoid - terrible waste of time.

Pid is great, but everyone already should have it.

I don't really recommend Dungeon Hearts, it's really meant to be a mobile game. AVWW is an example of not very well polished procedural level generation.

Pid is a very nice platformer, and it can run at >60 fps if I recall correctly, which made it look incredibly smooth.

Don't know about the others.

I just bought the bundle for Richard & Alice and the faint hope of the mystery title being something I don't already have:

Agreed that's what I'm waiting for.
Once someone gifts it to you from SteamGAF then it's your duty to pass it on.

The Bad Rats Roulette giveaways are the best though, especially when it's not a free-for-all and you antagonise over which of the options it could be. The guy that made it must be loving GAF for all the sales.

It's JaseC, that's how he funds his game collecting.

Can someone not using Compact skin and having Gorky 17 (JaseC?) check whether their Steam client will start suddenly using 100 (50/25 depending on number of cores) CPU when viewing that entry in client?

I definitely wouldn't be surprised if 99% of the purchases are GAF related during sales

Nothing out of the ordinary here -- it just bounces between the usual 1-3%.

Yeah, I got Scott Pilgrim through PS+ and really enjoyed it, would love to see it on Steam. Doubt it'll ever happen though :(

Thanks for Dungeon Hearts, Jase!
