Description

And it's only there's no one there (?)


I shouldn't be "hiding" the good one, but screw that. If you can't handle ten seconds of reading, you're not going to enjoy this.

This game is great, and not too expensive. So a perfect Humble Bundle candidate for next year, assuming IGN doesn't run it into the ground first...

Sorry, there's no question hiding in here, either. But do you really want to talk any more about this Steam sale? Nope, same here.

Good luck!


p.s. Bump if you feel like it: BUMP

p.p.s. I don't need any "funny" bump gifs, but I'll try not to notice if you didn't read this part. :)

Bump for solved! Thanks!

I did actually see this comment for a minute, but then I hit refresh and it was gone. Sigh. Wonder what I missed?

Good luck, mystery comment, whatever you were...

Funny that I can see +1 replied icon on my Messages page, but it doesn't show your message. :D
You just said there's another place for bumpies so I removed it. I can bring it back though.

Aha, I wasn't as much of a Steam addict back then, think I was still buying games to play them back then. Sigh.

I really enjoyed the summer sale where we had achievements tied to specific games. I'm not an achievement hunter, but it was a nice incentive to replay old favorites like Psychonauts.

I think people can get a reputation around here, so everyone who has been around long enough knows what to expect from them... :) Otherwise you'd have no reason to look... :)

Yeah, I save all my stupid cards for six months, watching all that garbage disappear from my inventory was great... :) I was originally expecting to have a lot more by now, but Valve restricting trading cards to "real games" changed things a bit... :) Now you can buy all the 5 cent garbage you like, but you'll never see any cards from it... :) Oh well...

Good luck! :)

Not very hidden, but why make people expend any effort... :) And someone's always asking how to solve it, which spoils the fun for people who never noticed there was anything to solve...

I think it's only hidden from the laziest people, or if they can't see the url for some reason... :) If humans overlook it I'll probably feel bad, but if any bots strike out, it's their problem... :) Good luck! :)

I do prefer this alternative to the one where I would squeeze my brain juices trying to figure out how some unfitting fonts and characters would influence a puzzle

Sorry again! :(

I'll have to hire a puzzle assistant next time, or maybe a puzzle ghost-writer, so I can bask in the glory of someone else's hard work... :) Plus, that way I could be sure only to submit puzzles I was able to solve myself. :)

Which reminds me, once I had the idea to see if someone like Umberto Eco could be hired to make a puzzle. :) Full of misunderstandings, confusion, multiple meanings, red herrings, apparent dead ends... But no dumb luck or random guessing, every step connected logically, you can see when you're making progress, and the answer is dead simple once you have finally collected all the pieces...

But fortunately he's dead, so I won't be able to play the part of internet lunatic pestering the famous author... :)

Took a little while to find. Thanks for a chance on two wishlisted games and one that I'm very interested in but somehow isn't wishlisted, I don't know how that works either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Won't win any of them anyway so I'll wish you a happy new year and all the best ;)

I've always thought there should be an option for the giver to join his own GA's and if he wins he gets to keep the game for himself. On the other hand you can always delete the GA at the last moment, pretend you won and activate the key yourself :p I guess a chance is better than no chance :D

Huh! Found this completely on accident. I always like to check links before I actually click them and noticed "gobserver" and was like "that can't be right" and checked the others :D well played, and thank you for all the gibs.

Thanks for making a holiday mercy puzzle, as I've seen what you're capable of ;_;
Now I'm stuck on the Persona 5 - Last Surprise song you've shared, the art style is really attractive, maybe I'll get a PS4 just for this game!

Yeah, this one sucks as a puzzle, but I can't be evil all the time... :)

I've been tempted more than once to get a PS4 just for Bloodborne, but Persona 5 looks like a lot of fun too... :) But then I'd want a PS3 to play Demon's Souls... :( If I could buy one single thing that would play all the good console-exclusive stuff, it would be a lot more difficult to resist... For now it looks like I'm waiting on some future pc that's powerful enough to emulate everything... Sigh...

Good luck! :)

Hidden in plain sight. It's always surprising how big of a difference in number of entrants there is between the (even mildly) hidden giveaways and the clicky blue links. :P

Thank you and happy new year!

Yeah, although I wonder if maybe some people are just fooling around on Steamgifts via mobile (instead of doing their job) and don't notice any puzzles / hidden things / whatever... No clue... :)

Thank you too, hope you get a nice 2018! :) Good luck! :)

Thank you for the giveaway of the observant and sleuthing kind, Fiftykyu! ^^

In the SGTools trains I make, I usually have a fake bump that leads to a final hidden car. The discrepancy in entries between the last car and the real last car is no less than 1/3. And that bump is there, clearly in the open, one just has to click on it.

Yeah, any time I try something like that it's painful... Don't know if I should laugh or cry...

Think the last obvious one I did was https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/CSLoQ/otakus-fantasy but it's the same conclusion every time I've tried it - the vast majority of Steamgifts users don't read a single word, ever. Sigh.

Hope you enjoy this one if you win! :) Good luck! :)

I think most of them who don't read, just don't care or use a script were they can enter with a single click and without going into the giveaway proper and reading the giveaway description.

In halve of my trains I even caught at least one very nice user who had entered my giveaways and then blacklisted me after entering...

Yeah, I think there are a lot of script users around, despite the threat of mysterious consequences... Did anything ever happen to all the auto-entering people? I don't remember reading anything after that forum thing a couple months ago...

Oh, they blacklisted you so they wouldn't have to feel guilty for still using scripts next time or something? :) Funny they made sure to enter the giveaways first... :) Guess it shouldn't surprise me, the way things are around here...

Thanks for interesting gib.
But I won't be entering, not a fan of walking simulators.
I'm too nervous gamer, so meditative games usually causes one reaction.

Maybe I should tell you there's some alien monster lurking on the station, and that's why everyone's "missing"? And you find a bunch of dead bodies or something? Probably won't work though... Oh well.

It's a great game, but not everyone's going to like it... So good luck in some other giveaway! :)

Different people like different genres, that's normal thing. And horror walking simulutor will be only more strange to my playing-type(old gif can explain smth).
Thanks for info about game though.

It's a great game, thank you! :)

If you like to wander around and carefully explore, and read all the things, it will take longer. But if you're just looking for the finish line, it's a short game. According to Steam I played it for ten hours, but a few of those were from idling before I played it, and alt-tabbed out reading stuff. I guess you could finish in five hours? There's a lot of stuff to read, though... So I guess it depends... :)

Good luck! :)

My memory's a bit hazy on the details now, but apparently some people were violently allergic to the idea that "Gone Home" even existed, and they made sure everyone else knew it... :) So if you were one of those, you'd probably hate Tacoma. :)

On the other hand, yes, I'd definitely call Tacoma a nice game. :)

Well, it's not a puzzle game, or one of those adventure games where you run around trying different things from your inventory and see what happens... :) But you kinda wander around and explore and think about things... :)

Oh, I forgot to mention it's full of cats... :) There's even an achievement for finding all of them... :)

I like the proportion betwwen number of entries here and rest of the giveaways... Sometimes I just wonder why people don't read. Do they lack of proper reading skills? Should we try to help them to learn to read?

Makes you wonder, can't read or don't care... Like putting giveaway links in giveaway descriptions, it's easy to get the impression most people around here never read those things...

I think some people muddled through the Steamgifts registration process with google translate, and only check the forums to find giveaway links... :)

Good luck! :)
