    I bought two copies of it full price. Totally worth it. One of the best games I've played all year. Very cool to reach out to the GB community like this, though.

    That´s pretty awesome. I really enjoyed the quicklook for this game and  thought about picking it up but there were  too many other games to play at the time. I probably would have bought it sooner or later and now it is gonna be sooner than later.

    Incidentally, if you have a WIndows 7 laptop and are encountering some technical issues, there's a thread that might help you on our forum here.

    Just finished this awesome awesome game. My only real complaints were the graphics were kinda bad to a point where it was hard to detect key objects and I wish the ending, hmm... as Azriel would say... "Nevermind". 
     
    Ran just peachy with my laptop Win7 x64 using DirectDraw 5. I can't seem to get Direct3D 9 to work under any setting combination but oh well.

    Oh yeah.  That's because the game uses a plugin to create those lovely rain effects, and the plugin is not compatible with Direct3D.  Normally we would have removed the Direct3D option, but we used a third party engine (AGS) to make the game and the configuration screen is set in stone.  So it's not a bug or a problem with your computer.  It's a feature!

    I usually don't buy games that aren't on Steam just for my own sanity, but from all the good things I've heard, how can I say no? I'll tell you how: I can't. Consider me sold.

    I'd like to see a sales graph and find out how much of a spike in numbers they had because of this offer.

    Hey Dave i have a question, i already bought the game, thanks for the code, but will this game ever release on Steam? Thanks
    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!

    I don't understand Steam rejecting Gemini Rue considering they have small indie adventure games like The Next Big Thing and Macinarium available on Steam. They also have LucasArts/Sierra adventure games pretty much running in ScummVM/Dosbox available too.

    So, the sale is over.  A bunch of you asked to see a chart that shows how well the offer impacted sales.  While I don't like to give exact sales numbers, I see no problem with showing you a "before and after" line graph that starts from the beginning of the month:
     

    No Caption Provided
    As you can see, the sale gave us a nice shot in the arm.  Thanks so much to everyone who took part!
