A New Beginning: Final Cut is free to keep on GOG until November 2
Daedalic's 2012 eco sci-fi point-and-click normally costs $9.99 on Steam. The GOG giveaway runs alongside the 18th Anniversary Sale but is not part of it.
GOG is giving away A New Beginning: Final Cut, Daedalic Entertainment's 2012 point-and-click adventure, and you have until November 2, 2026 to claim it. Hit the giveaway banner on GOG's front page while signed in and the game is added to your library permanently, DRM-free.
What you are getting
A New Beginning is a cinematic sci-fi adventure told in a graphic novel style. Its plot mixes time travel with ecological disaster, setting a power source that wrecks the planet against a race to replace it with an algae-based fuel. PC Gamer previewed it back in 2011 and called it "neither preachy nor educational" despite the environmental theme.
The Final Cut edition reached Steam on December 11, 2012, where it still sells for $9.99. It is not one of Daedalic's best-known games, but it comes from the period when the German studio was establishing itself as one of the most reliable names in classic point-and-click design.
Why now
GOG has not tied the giveaway to anything in particular. It is running at the same time as the store's 18th Anniversary Sale, but PC Gamer notes the free copy is not officially connected to that event, and it is hardly a Halloween pick either. Either way, a free, DRM-free adventure costs you nothing but a few clicks.
For SEA players
November 2 is a Monday, so do not leave it to the last minute; the safest move is to claim it over the weekend. Slow, mouse-driven adventures like this also suit handheld PCs and laptops away from a gaming rig.
If Daedalic's style clicks with you, we also cover several of its other games, including Felix The Reaper, Edge of Sanity and Once Upon A Puppet.
Claim it before November 2, when the offer ends.
