You'll have a hoot!

Giana Sisters: Rise of the Owlverlord, a standalone expansion to the fantastic colorful platformer that constantly shifts between two imaginative worlds, is available 10% off on GOG.com. That's only $4.49 for the first week.

One of them is a perky blonde, always cheerful and smiling. Looking at her you would imagine that she makes her grandma proud. The other one is a feisty redhead with an attitude and punky style. This one is the kind of girl your grandma warned you about. This good girl/bad girl duo call themselves the Giana Sisters. But here's the kicker. They are actually the same person. Imagine that. If this isn't the most prominent illustration of the dissociative identity disorder in video games, than I don't know what is. Giana's split personality makes her experience two very different worlds, each with its very distinctive mood. Even the music she hears in her head changes on a whim. Life must be difficult for a platform game character with that sort of condition. Would you kindly help Giana along her way through her twisted dreams before the Evil Owlverlord takes over?

Giana Sisters: Rise of the Owlverlord brings a total of seven new extensive action-packed levels to the colorful Giana Sisters universe. Each of the main heroine's two personalities plays a little bit different and travels through its own dream. Master the original reality-shifting mechanics to overcome obstacles that wouldn't budge any other way. If you enjoy solid platforming gameplay with some imaginative twists allowing for unique puzzles and imaginative level design, make sure not to miss this gem of a standalone expansion. It's more than worth its tiny price tag.

Blast through the dreamworld and nightmareworld to take on your arch-nemesis in Giana Sisters: Rise of the Owlverlord, for only $4.49 on GOG.com. The 10% launch discount offer lasts until Tuesday, October 8, at 9:59AM GMT.

Don't buy this. The devs will probably not patch it.

We're still waiting (on GOG) - after over two months - for a patch for the main game. So, yeah. Don't buy it.

Edit:
Question for GOG - You guys are aware we've been having problems. One or two staff members have commented on the topics we have about the missing major patch. Why has this title been allowed onto the store when the devs have shown a complete and utter disregard for this platform?

Not a platform fan so pass for me.

Not to be rude, but fifty cents off isn't much of an incentive to pick this up right now. I'll wishlist it for later.

I don't agree. I'm angry as well, but the more people buy the DRM-free version, the more Black Forest Games will be forced to give that version the same support that they give the Steam version.

Edit: Giana Sisters - Twisted Dreams is a great platform game. I think everyone who liked it, will have fun with this one too. And being a standalone expansion, the ones who didn't buy Twisted Dreams by now, have chance to try the game mechanics for a good price without the need to buy the main game.

I won't be picking it up, but thats more because I got a Steam key for backing the sadly cancelled Kickstarter Project Ravensdale.

I disagree. It's been over two months. They said it would take them a month to *create a GOG patch* (let alone one for *their Kickstarter backers*). They are incompetent, if nothing else. It does not take a month to create a version of a patch for GOG. If it does, you are doing something seriously, seriously wrong, or you are lying about your intention to create the patch.

This expandalone should not be on GOG. GOG talk about being about the gamers, about treating us right (hence the extras, the DRM-free rule, etc.), and yet they allow this on despite being fully aware that the devs have not given GOG users anywhere near the same level of support.

I was not aware of this. Thanks for the warning.

Well don't give hope, look at the DLCs for Strike Suit Zero , it taken more than that to get them here.

Plus the failure of their Kickstarter project , should have hit them.

In other hand , i agree what ever the digital platform used by the customers , they should be treated equally.
