GOG's 24-hour Monday & Wednesday Deals

Everyday magic.

Always Sometimes Monsters, a story-focused real-life adventure dealing with the everyday choices and their consequences, rather than epic fantasy, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only *$4.99 for the next 24 hours.

Always Sometimes Monsters is a title designed for a mature gamer who isn't afraid to face his fears and problems that reflect what we're dealing with each day in the real world. You'll be faced with racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, mental health, sexual assault, child abuse, animal abuse, drug abuse, and suicide. Every choice you make affects the virtual (yet lifelike) world and affects the protagonist and the people you'll meet on your path. You may find yourself struggling with every decision, but the outcome--whatever it turns out to be--has the potential to feel like katharsis.

Play the game of choices and see how your life unfolds in the everchaging world of Always Sometimes Monsters. Grab it now, on GOG.com, for only *$4.99! The 50% discount offer lasts until Thursday, November 6, at 10:59AM GMT.

All tracks have special obstacles and dangers: water traps, cacti, oil slicks, posts, stacks of tires, and more. Some tracks are surrounded by water and even lava. But what you're not expecting is the hedgehogs! Grab all the track-populated hedgehogs you can and hurl them like baseballs at the other racers to send them spinning out of control - giving you time to pass 'em by. Other weapons to collect include bombs, oil slicks, ice blocks, and flame balls. Everything to make the race more interesting for your opponents
