Hello! I'm Dave Gilbert, of Wadjet Eye Games and publisher of Gemini Rue. A few months ago, Gemini Rue was given a quick look by the kind folks on this site. The feature sent a huge influx of traffic our way and we gained a lot of new fans in the process. We are so happy that so many of you guys enjoyed our game, and we always felt a bit bad that we never reached out to thank you sooner. Hopefully later is better than never.

We wanted to offer an exclusive discount coupon to Giant Bomb for those of you who haven't played it yet. From now until June 26th, anyone using the code "RUEBOMB" will receive 25% off the purchase price. You can buy the game off of our website at http://www.wadjeteyegames.com. It will not be available on Steam, unfortunately.

Anyway, I hope this isn't presumptuous of me. Thanks again!

-Dave

This guy is legit, just tried it. Thanks!

You might want to get in touch with the giantbomb dudes themselves, they could make a news post about it or something to raise awareness.

#3 Posted by WalkerTR77 (1255 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Wow, that's really cool. I might just have to put money down for Gemini Rue now.

Thank you! Thought the game looked awesome from the Quick Look but never got around to getting it.

#6 Posted by ArbitraryWater (8955 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Alright, sure. Maybe I will purchase Gemini Rue now. It looked cool enough from the quick look.

#20 Posted by fembotbeck (26 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Aww man, I've already bought *and* played it.  But I don't regret paying full price.  It was very much worth it.

#21 Posted by Sunjammer (831 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Sold. Style move Wadjet :-) still a big shame it's not on Steam...

#22 Posted by mbkish (219 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

That is super cool of you. I may have to pick this up!

#23 Posted by Captain_Felafel (1309 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Wow, thanks Mr. Gilbert! Was always meaning to play it ever since watching the QL but just never got around to it. Now I don't have any excuse not to. Much appreciated!

#24 Posted by FCKSNAP (2294 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Done.

#25 Posted by Jasta (2214 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Wow, what an awesome gesture!

#26 Posted by PXAbstraction (231 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Very awesome gesture. I wish I could buy it but it doesn't run on the laptop I would be playing it on (just get a black screen). I posted a thread in your support forums but no one was able to figure it out. :( I might try it again though as it really looks like something I'd enjoy.

#27 Posted by KaosAngel (13766 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Steam support and OSX?

#28 Posted by zyn (2591 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Awesome!

#29 Posted by Satsugai (41 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Your discount has been taken advantage of, sir.

Are you running on a Win7 laptop, by any chance?  I'm not sure which post was yours, but the "hanging on startup" thing is a common problem with Win7 laptops and we've managed to finagle a solution right here.The answer was verrry obscure - it has to do with the battery settings.  Check it out and see if you can get the demo to run.
#34 Posted by bkbroiler (1237 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Gladly payed full price for it. Love the game!

#35 Posted by astonish (203 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I was just thinking of buying this over the weekend! Bought!

#36 Edited by genpatton7 (17 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Thanks Dave! Was waiting for the game to arrive on Steam, but for that price how can I resist?

#37 Posted by CharlesAlanRatliff (5226 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

This is pretty awesome.

#38 Posted by enemymouse (283 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

We submitted the game to them, but they decided it wasn't right for their audience.  So it will only be available on our website for the time being.  Sorry!
#43 Posted by Irvandus (2275 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Will buy

#44 Posted by SomethingClever (401 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I thought the game looked pretty good but when I watched that Quick Look my computer was an ancient piece of garbage. I have since built myself a much nicer machine that can actually play games. Will definitely go buy this right now.

#45 Posted by SavUK (79 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Purchased. Thank you.

#46 Posted by Brodehouse (7119 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

You got yourself a deal there, crazily named company.
