The Samaritan Paradox, a hand-drawn indie point-and-click in the best tradition of adventure gaming classics, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.99 for the first week!

A famous writer has died. His daughter seeks the help of you, Ord Salomon, to find his secret last novel. During the search, questions will emerge. Did her father really kill himself? What is the secret novel all about? What is going on at the island of Fardo? Crack codes, decipher secrets & find a lost fortune in this exciting detective adventure, with retro style hand-drawn art, 2000+ voice lines, 60+ rooms to explore, 20+ characters to talk to, 1 lost fortune to find!

The Samaritan Paradox is set in Sweden in the 80's. Ord Salomon has agreed to help Sara Bergwall find the book her father, Jonatan Bergwall, wrote before he died. During the course of this treasure hunt, he learns that Jonatan was investigating the weapons industry, and more specifically some covert affairs with foreign dictatorships. But more questions arise. What is the book about, and why does Sara want Ord to find it for her? Did her Alzheimer's-stricken mother know the secret before she grew too demented to share it? And how did Jonatan actually die?

If you're in the mood for some classic point-and-click adventuring and you value traditional approach to that genre, you can't go wrong with The Samaritan Paradox, for only $7.99 on GOG.com. The 25% off launch promo offer lasts until Friday, April 25, at 9:59AM GMT.
Backed this on Indiegogo, nice to see it here.
Nice release, wishlisted
You have no mercy for my wallet, GOG!
I haven't heard about the game. It looks interesting.

I will defintely go for it but postpone purchasing a bit since I have to finish a job this weekend and I can't have more tempting titles in my library ready to be clicked and played :)

you mean "pointed and clicked" I believe? :D
this looks like a true old school point and click adventure! Awesome :D
Cryptography, chess, table of elements, a ship. All the features that a point'n'click adventure (or at least its trailer) should include. My wishlist explodes.
It seems interesting but only wishlisted for now as I am in the middle of Flight of Amazon Queen and Grim Fandango and have yet the three Kyrandias and two Simon the Sorcerer to play... not to mention I bought The Blackwell Epiphany yesterday.

That's 20%, not 25%.

What a Freudian slip! :D
Wow, looks excellent. Looking forward for this :)
Nice, the Screen7 lineup is looking better and better; they just need to develop a franchise of their own now to officially become the "UKs WadjetEye".
Btw, for the fellow disc jugglers out there, they're offering DVDs of this (like they did with the Cat Lady).

Point-and-click with retro style graphics, excellent!
