    https://www.gog.com/en/game/intravenous
    This game was free on Steam just a while ago. Well,
    if you missed it then (or just want it DRM free), you
    can grab it on GOG today... and only today. It's a
    24-hour offer. "Intravenous" is a top-down action/
    stealth shooter/strategy thingee. Fine if that's your
    thing. I couldn't get into it.

    Anyway, tick-tock, tick-tock; the clock is ticking down and you've
    less than 24 hours. Don't wait.


    "Time to beat: 8.5 hours" So, not a long game.

    Good. I have too many unplayed games to play!

    Spalls Hurgenson <spallshurgenson@gmail.com> looked up from reading the entrails of the porn spammer to utter "The Augury is good, the signs
    say:
    <huge snip>
    Sometimes limiting yourself to a smaller scale -a game with finite
    levels and game-play that can be completed in a few hours- gives you
    better results. But sadly, the market rewards pointlessly large games. >Players bitch about a game that -even if it has an AWESOME experience >throughout- only lasts 20 hours, and instead buy games with tedious
    gameplay that lasts for 100+ hours. Meanwhile, publishers are
    attracted to these longer games because it gives them more chance to
    monetize the players: buy more DLC! Buy more season-packs! Buy tools
    to bypass the grind! Just buy!

    The only proper response is just, Bye.
