GOG's weekly deals cut Blasphemous to $2.49 and Syberia to $1.29
GOG has reached the part of the month where several sales are sitting on top of each other. That makes the storefront messy, but the prices are considerably easier to understand: Blasphemous is $2.49, the original Syberia is $1.29, and Ghostrunner has slipped below eight dollars.

GOG reminded customers on September 22 that several of its current promotions are approaching their deadlines. Make Your Choice, Vault of Variety, Historical and Platformer are scheduled to end on September 25 at 1 PM UTC, while some publisher and genre sales continue beyond that point.
Purchases on GOG remain DRM-free, with offline installers available rather than a permanent requirement to keep the store client connected.
Blasphemous is down to $2.49
The original Blasphemous currently carries a 90% discount on the US store. Its standard $24.99 price has fallen to $2.49, with GOG listing September 24 as the end of the offer.
It is not difficult to justify at that price. The Game Kitchen's combination of punishing combat, nonlinear exploration and grotesque religious pixel art still gives Cvstodia an identity that survived the flood of metroidvanias released around it.
The Digital Deluxe Edition is discounted as well, making this one of the cheaper ways to go back to the beginning before moving on to Blasphemous 2.
Syberia costs $1.29
Benoît Sokal's original Syberia is another 90% deal, falling from $12.99 to $1.29. Its product page currently lists September 24 as the deadline.
The 2002 adventure naturally shows its age in movement and interface design, but its mechanical towns, strange automatons and long journey with Kate Walker still look nothing like most contemporary adventure games. GOG also includes the title in its Preservation Program and maintains its compatibility with current systems.
Ghostrunner is below $8
Ghostrunner is currently listed at $7.49 instead of $29.99, a 75% discount. The first-person cyberpunk action game remains a remarkably simple proposition underneath all the wall-running: keep moving, understand the encounter and expect a single bad decision to kill you.
It also fits the DRM-free format particularly well. Ghostrunner is a self-contained single-player game, so buying it years later does not come with questions about matchmaking populations or server activity.
The Adventure Games Promo runs through September 28
GOG's Adventure Games promotion has a little more time left, with an official September 28, 7 AM UTC deadline. The store highlights Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition at 85% off, Syberia 3: The Complete Journey at 90% off, DREDGE at 40% off, Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition at 65% off, Return to Monkey Island at 40% off and Jusant at 35% off.
That is an extremely broad definition of adventure, admittedly. Sleeping Dogs sitting beside Monkey Island and DREDGE makes the page feel more like a particularly confused games shelf than a genre taxonomy. The discounts still work.
The 505 Games sale lasts until October
The 505 Games Publisher Sale is scheduled to remain active until October 3 at 5 PM UTC. GOG's highlighted lineup includes Ghostrunner and Ghostrunner 2, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, Journey to the Savage Planet, Stray Blade and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake.
Regional prices can differ, and individual game promotions may expire before the larger campaign containing them. Checking the deadline on the actual product page is therefore worth doing before waiting another day. Blasphemous at $2.49 is one of the offers with very little reason to procrastinate.
