That's the one. It's also pretty well written for a nukige.

Which way, western man?

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

the way that has the nurse with the big titties!

Play for your salvation.

Alas... she did not.

And her visions revealed

And worse...

Meanwhile, this gem of a game (and several others) were deemed unworthy of joining the carefully curated list of GOG games back in the day.

GOG is shit, mate. I already said it once, it lost all its respect when they refused Cleve's Grimoire game, the very kind of game that store was once created for.

And then they allowed his game, once he patched it to acceptable quality.

GOG used to have higher standards of curation back in the day. Now they're letting everything in

What? But I have Grimoire on GOG.

Back when? There was a fuckton of shitty game being released around the time they denied Cleve's game.

What? But I have Grimoire on GOG.

That was like months after they refused Grimoire.
See:

Guess which one was rejected by GOG :-/

Spoiler

I have no issue with these anime JRPGs or VNs or whatever they are, but i can't see how one can accept the game at the left side and reject the game at the right side. Perhaps instead of some robed old dude Hands of Necromancy should have had some big breasted heroine instead - GOG does carry Hedon after all and Hands of Necromancy is pretty much as good as Hedon

Zoom Platform has offered to carry the game at least.

Same thing happened with Grimoire: https://af.gog.com/wishlist/games/grimoire_heralds_of_the_winged_exemplar?as=1649904300

They said that "it's not a good fit for GOG" and the request was fullfilled only after it got around 1000 votes. Pathetic.

And

Since this has become a disconcerting trend from GoG's curation, let's compile a list of decent indie RPGs that we know were rejected by GoG's idiotic curation team:

- Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar
- Vigilantes
- Legends of Amberland
- Das Geisterschiff
- Lurking
- Titan Outpost

Those were all made by Codex posters who informed us directly on the Codex that GoG rejected their games for reasons such as "not high enough production values" when the games look about on par with all the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s games GoG has founded its store on.

Post others ITT when you know about them.

EDIT:
Other games rejected by GoG that posters in this thread found out:
- Steam Marines
- Warlock of Firetop Mountain
- Swords and Sorcery: Underworld
- the PC port of the Japanese Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls
- Aeon of Sands
- Voidspire Tactics

That is interesting topic, indeed. Out of these six games, three of them are currently on GOG. It doesn't look like it can't be done. I wonder what made them change their curators minds? Votes? Patches? What else could that be?

 

[Viata]

Apparently, for Grimoire, it was votes. The fact Grimoire need 1000 votes and that Noelle game was easily accepted is another reason GOG sucks.

 

[JarlFrank]

The one and only reason I prefer Steam over GOG is that Steam has no curation and allows any indie dev to publish whatever shit he made.

Yes, this leads to a flood of shitty anime games, but it also leads to plenty of great hidden gems made by passionate solo devs.
GOG is missing these hidden gems, yet for some reason has the same flood of shitty anime games.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I believe some devs refuse to GOG like Ubisoft, Square Enix etc. Well, third party log in support at least. (Which i hate).

 

[Bad Sector]

The one and only reason I prefer Steam over GOG is that Steam has no curation and allows any indie dev to publish whatever shit he made.

Considering that if a game is on Steam but not on GOG there isn't much of a preference to be had (someone else made that choice for you), i'd guess that with that you mean if a game is on both Steam and GOG you'd get it on Steam instead of GOG? What if it is available in another DRM-free place like Zoom Platform or itch.io?

 

[NecroLord]

Itch.io promotes all kinds of degenerate shit.
I think the owner even donated to BLM and is a leftist cunt.
Fuck that platform.

Eh... buying games is so difficult when you're a rightoid

I like GOG's installers but the problem of GOG as a platform is that most of the games I have on Steam aren't even available there.
That's why I prefer Steam for discovering new games: there's a lot more games to discover.
But yeah I mostly purchase on Steam these days. It's not like indie games have DRM there, you can back up your install folder and it's gonna work as-is if you copypaste it to another PC.

I see. Personally i also use Steam to discover new games, but then i just wait for them to be released on GOG :-P (and vote in the waitlist for them) or other DRM-free platforms. I think it is important to make clear that i want DRM-free games (Steam might not have DRM for some games but this isn't something you can know ahead of time before buying the game nor the developers know you want that when you buy a game on Steam - well, unless you bother to send them a message/email/tweet/whatever, but i doubt anyone does that :-P).

I also buy stuff from Steam but it is usually long after their release date when it has become clear there wont be a GOG/ZP/itch/etc release - and i always get it on a sale so that if my attempt to remove any Steam dependency (via Steamless and Godbolt's emulator) fail, i wont feel like i lost much.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Noelle Does Her Best is published by Kagura Games. The entry barrier is way lower for a known publisher than one guy making a game in his garage.

 

[Viata]

Fuck that platform.

Nah, Itch.io is great for experimental and unique game, not for "games to make money". It's not like every other store is not full of degenerate people working there. Do you think most people working at Valve don't donate to BLM too? kek
