The devs say that the average run for Consortium is 3-7 hours, so give it a go! You should almost certainly be able to complete it in a week.

If you haven't already, you should get it for free on GOG while you still can!

Last chance for the first round of giveaways! Get in while you can!
Also, a reminder that the GOG giveaway of the first game ends in about 14 hours, so pick it up while you can!

Love the train! Wish listed Consortium! Will try to buy soon! Seems like my kind of game, I am surprised that I hadn't heard about it!!

These are public but I find it's always nice to post GA's with several days left. If you're like me, you go through and deposit some of your P into such GA's so as to "invest" them in a sense (to prevent potential loss of P from getting to your 300) then go back and remove your entry if you find something else you'd want 'fore the first GA ends:
For everybody
Level 6

Consortium: The Tower is on Kickstarter, and is sitting a bit past a third of the way as of writing this. Well, seeing as how you all seem to like games (and seeing as how I'd much like to see this game get made), I thought I'd let you all know about it!
Consortium: The Tower will an immersive sim (think Deus Ex, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, Pathologic, etc.), meaning that it will be a first-person shooter in which you don't have to do any shooting, a game of diplomacy where you can opt to be...not so diplomatic, and a stealth game that you can choose to go in guns blazing.
But what really sells me on this is that it's a game where you're given a set of tools, and told to resolve the situation however you'd like. There's no right or wrong way to approach the situation. This is an idea that greatly pleases me, and one which I'd really quite like to see happen.
...Which they did to some extent already, with the first Consortium game. Which you really ought to play. Everyone should really play it. It only takes a couple of hours. And then you should help fund Consortium: The Tower.
(Probably should point out here that certain tiers of the Kickstarter include the first game, but won't be delivered until after the end of the campaign.)
Here, have a trailer for The Tower, if you don't feel like clicking on the Kickstarter page.
And here's a more detailed trailer on the effects your actions have on the game world.
...Ah, who am I kidding, you're not here for funding games, you're here for free games!
Here's round two, courtesy of Tynon1221!EndedEDIT - Still going!Tynon's added some more!And I finally added mine!Show's over, folks!
(If you want to see the original train, just click here.)
Why contribute to a failed campaign?
Because:
"Each and every one of you who has pledged at the Consortium Initiate level or higher on Kickstarter will not only be able to keep your pledge and rewards when the intermission period ends, but will eligible to become a SUPER BACKER with us.
What’s a Super Backer? It means that in the future all games released by iDGi in the Consortium Universe will be free for you. Forever. This will apply to all pledges made up until the ending of our Kickstarter campaign, so if you’re sitting at the $5.00 pledge, or on the fence about pledging, you’ve only got a limited time to take advantage of this. There will be some more information next week on how this will work from a technical standpoint."
