Welp, I may have dug too deep...

I've been pottering away on the site, just winning a game here or there, but becoming increasingly discontent with the fact that I wasn't contributing more. So, recently I decided to go on a giveaway surge to give back to the community. Well, let me tell you, giving away things is addictive. This is not going to have a good impact on my wallet...

This wasn't at all helped by the fact that due to a temporary glitch I was granted access to see what it would be like at Level 3 for a few hours. I peered into the heart of the universe and this is what I saw: <view the attached image>

The glitch resolved itself within hours, but I am well on my way back to Level 2 (in fact, as soon as an already completed giveaway is received, I'll be Level 2 again immediately), and heading for Level 3. From there, I hope to make a quick rise to Level 4 even!

It was a hard slog to get started. Due to a mistake in my early days (I accidentally submitted a giveaway as invite only, then deleted it immediately with 0 entries before resubmitting) I had only 2 giveaway slots. Very frustrating, and limited what I could do, but I got through it.

Because I've won a few games over the past year or so, I really wanted to reward those who have been giving away a lot of games, as well as those who have given away at least some games. Not including the games I'm giving away right now, I've given away games at Level 0 to Level 6, with the majority being at level 1. I've been steadily increasing the level requirements for some of the giveaways, partially to ensure that those who have given away the most get rewarded, and partially to see where the interest peters out. I want a good number of people to be interested in the games I'm giving away and have a chance of winning them. The higher the level, the fewer the people have the opportunity. The fact that the games are all rated quite positively and have been bundled before means that there are likely to be a lot of people who own them already, further limiting interest.

Well, I fear that I may have hit that limit. I have 3 giveaways for The Whispered World Special Edition 1 each at levels 7, 8, and 9 which have been running for over 6 hours and they currently have 6, 2, and 1 entries respectively.

Please don't let my giveaways languish into oblivion! If you qualify for these higher levels and are interested in the game, or know someone who does and is, please check them out here: (Note: Giveaways finished.)
Level 7+
Level 8+
Level 9+

Additionally, I also have a Level 1+ giveaway of The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav running for everyone else.

As to the title? Digging too deep... Yes, well, that has several meanings:

• I've opened Pandora's Box, I've felt the giveaway drug in my veins, it may be too late for me and my wallet, I have to give away more.
• I've seen what it's like in the depths below me, I now hear the call urging me to return. Distant, moaning, ever beckoning me down deeper...
• I'm hoping that with my most recent high level giveaways, I haven't restricted them so much that very few people notice them and enter. I'd like to do something special for Level 10 contributors, but if there's not enough interest, that may need to wait.

Good luck everyone! I hope some of these giveaways are of interest to people, and I hope the winners enjoy the games.

EDIT: Giveaways have finished now.
