All of everything is back, plus some new stuff.

It's the incredible, the amazing, the stunning Indie Piñata Grande Finale!

Welcome to the final blowout. It's 24 hours of every deal and Pinata so far, all to bring this weeklong event to its grande conclusion. Among these exceptional offers is the return of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - now in an all-new, totally improved Unreal Engine 4 <span class="bold">Redux</span> edition. There's the most delicious combination of words in gaming, also known as Sunless Sea, and of course - there is a handful of completely new Piñatas so you can keep on whackin' on!





What is the Indie Piñata?
The Indie Piñata is a whacky gaming sale brought to you by Crunching Koalas and GOG.com, a weeklong celebration of diverse indie games - organised to help gamers (you) discover great indie titles without breaking the bank. Instead, we'll break the Piñata! A lot.


There's so much stuff.
There's stuff alright, with plenty of video game stuffing.
We've got a hefty selection of deals up to 80% off - all indies, all highly recommended - this includes titles like Kerbal Space Program (-33%), NEO Scavenger (-50%), Legend of Grimrock 2 (-75%), and MouseCraft (-80%), so that you can pick and choose what you play (but it's probably best to get them all just in case).



Whack your Piñata!
If you're fond of surprises, for $3 (or your local equivalent), you can grab your own 100% whackable Piñata and find a random indie wonder inside - handpicked by us and Crunching Koalas. The Piñata can include games anywhere from $9.99 to $44.99, so there's a deal (and a satisfying POP) behind every swing - and we’ll be ready to congratulate those of you who show off your discounted gains on Twitter with the hashtag #IndiePinata!




The Promo and Piñata include a completely separate batch of games, so there's plenty of variety and surprises - we'll also rotate the Promo and Piñata lineup after three days, just so that things don't get too stale. The Indie Piñata promo will last until 9/18/2015, 9:59AM GMT. Just remember - check yourself, before you whack yourself.
Batter up!

asb: Will the Pinata ever give you something you already own, without telling you before checkout?
Under "More info" button you can find the info:

What if I own all the games in the Piñata?

We're making sure that you only find games that you don't have yet. But if you already own every game hidden in the Piñata, we'll convert your spare copies to a gift.

asb: But when I get to checkout, will it say "this order contains some items you already own", as it has in some previous similar promos?
It won't - the games inside your Piñata are only generated once you go through checkout. Even we don't know what you'll get until the very end.

That said, if you end up getting stuck with a bunch of spare gifts (or a Base/Deluxe edition of a game you own already), you can always contact support to use the 30 Day Money Back Guarantee - or simply convert them to store credit. Just keep in mind this applies to the Piñata's price, not the game's full value. ;)

If you're looking for more games (or don't like surprises) we're also running a promo on a selection of indie titles. These are a separate batch of games from the ones you'll find inside the Piñata.

hafizadam: If I understand it correctly, Pinatas and Promos are different line-up?
is it safe to assume those in Pinatas are not in Promos?
Yep, hidden Pinata games and the indie titles available from the main page are two completely separate lineups :)

IAmSinistar: So why did my first Piñata contain a game I already own, when there are at least two in the tracking thread that I don't own? I'm guessing "limited quantities" again, which means the above isn't strictly true. If it were I would keep trying until I got Republique, but now I suspect I could go all day and just keep getting titles I own.
You're right. Sorry if we were being misleading with this, we'll update the FAQ with more specifics. Basically, if we want to get into the randomness-algorithm, here's roughly how it works:

The Pinata lineup is separated into timed pools with limited quantities, each pool includes more of some games and fewer of others. Theoretically, it's possible for a game to be "sold out" in one batch.

So if you're missing a game from the lineup it will be prioritised as long as there are copies left in the given batch. Basically, we did this to spread the games out evenly across the entire promo and avoid a situation in which all the best deals are gone right off the bat.

JediEagle: Soooo, just wondering. I noticed that many people on the forums already got their store credit/refunds and I am still waiting for a reply, since friday afternoon. I can wait for a reply (positive or negative), it's just annoying that users that send the support request after me, are apparently in front of the line.
Sorry about that - we typically prioritize tickets by problem type (as selected in the contact form), especially when we know that a backlog is inevitable. In this particular situation, we're waiting for a Pinata-related backend fix, which prevents us from solving some cases - which your selected problem type typically involves. The fix should be up by the end of the day.
I will respond to your ticket in a second, since your problem does not require this fix - once again, sorry about the wait.

Ichwillnichtmehr: Can I bother you to do the same for me?

Ichwillnichtmehr: Thanks Judas!

And while I have you here...

If I do the same thing again, i.e. buy 25 pinatas at once, and again get 92% gifts, will you refund them again, or will you delete my account and send your ninjas after me?

;)
It's not that long of a drive to Germany, just so you know :P
