Bring Cryostasis back!! An interesting and at times creepy relic of mid-2000's Eurojank. I remember the gameplay being quite slow but still very engaging and atmospheric. I remember this game blew my mind with its graphics of the time. This was on store fronts many years ago but seems like it was delisted due to rights issues. Would love the chance to own and play this again (legally)!

Another interesting bit of lost media that I discovered via YouTube videos, but never got the chance to play before or since. Both its atmosphere and its technical achievements with things like water effects make it seem like an impressive project for its time, and it deserves to be back on storefronts.
A game worthy of preservation, This lost gem has a unique atmosphere, combining mystery and a creepy supernatural tone. Game mechanics were fairly fresh with nice visuals

a little masterpiece that's bound to come back from the dead. The story that is told in this game, I was hooked and does not let go until now, after many years I remember about this game, and so I want others to have the opportunity to play this game, to feel the atmosphere and the emotions that it gave me once upon a time

legit one of the most creative and unique horror games out there, fans want it back and we want it back bad. don't let another good game go unpreserved! this game's atmosphere, sound, environment, make it all so unique.
People need to know this game! The atmosphere of this game is amazing, realistic sounds and the game is very immersive, please don't let this game be forgotten.
It's so unfair that this is abandonware at this point because it's a genuinely good game with a unique atmosphere. Bring it back please, so more people can discover this gem.

Well while I am not familiar with the game at all and sincerely I apologize for those who have played this game and enjoyed it, however at the request of a friend, I have voted for this game. I can see from the gameplay and screenshots of why he enjoys this game and it would be cool for more people to be exposed to this game and for it to gain more traction.
The game, the atmosphere, the Civvie11 video on who to blame in having it delisted. There was no reason to have this game taken down on GoG when it was available. To preserve this game would not only give me a chance to play this gem, but a reason why people like to play janky games of the past rather than trying to play catch up with every game out there in the year 2025 onwards.

I remember this game from my childhood. Genuinely spooky. Beautifully atmospheric and had very impressive storytelling with the ability to time travel. It was a game I never personally got to beat though. And now that it basically doesn't exist it seems I never will. I hope GoG will fix that. Bring back this hidden gem with a bit of polish and let the world see it. Just... polish it well. Was a bit of a buggy one.

Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand
Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of SandYs V: Kefin, The Lost City of Sand is the fifth game of the series. It was released for Snes in 1995. A remake was released for PS2 in 2006. Adol is travelling through new lands, in search of more adventure, when he hears of the vanished desert city of Kefin. He sets off to investigate this ancient city's disappearance. The RPG-style statistical elements and the overhead view of most of the previous games are retained in Ys V. As in Ys III, there is no auto-attack; the player must press a button to swing Adol's sword. Adol is also given the ability to jump and defend with his shield. A new magic system is introduced in Ys V as well, which requires the player to charge up spells by holding a button before they can be cast.

Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished - The Final Chapter
Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished - The Final ChapterA bright light shot up from Darm Tower in the end of the first Ys, and Adol Christin is awakened by a young girl who finds him lying on the ground. She introduces herself as Lilia and tells Adol he is in the land of Ys. Finally he was able to establish a connection between his world and this mysterious land! But finding the gateway to Ys is not enough: Adol must stop an evil entity that his archenemy Dark Fact served. And his foes already know where he is. Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished - The Final Chapter is a direct sequel to Ys: The Vanished Omens. The game continues to utilize the action role-playing combat style of the first installment, which requires the player to make the protagonist run into the enemy in order to cause damage, without the need to press an attack button. The player should choose the angles and the measure of contact with the enemy carefully, otherwise the hero will be killed. The player character can (and should) level up, perform quests for village people, gather money, and upgrade weapons and inventory, like in most other RPGs. The sequel offers a longer quest than the first installment, and adds a magic arsenal to Adol's abilities. Among the magic spells is a fire attack, a time-stopping spell, and a transformation ability that allows Adol to pass for a monster and converse with enemies. Magic spells deplete Adol's magic points bar.
