A Daedalic adventure classic is free on GOG

In 2011, the adventure game "A New Beginning" was previewed, a Daedalic point-and-click adventure that aimed to save the world from environmental catastrophe. The game did not come across as preachy or educational, instead focusing on a sci-fi narrative involving a magical power-source threatening Earth and a race to replace it with a more sustainable solution. The game also featured time-travel, a common element that added to its appeal.

Despite not being one of Daedalic's most memorable games, "A New Beginning" proved to be a solid point-and-clicker, a testament to the studio's growing reputation in the genre. The release of the game's "Final Cut" version is now free on GOG, a fact that may not have an explicit connection to GOG's 18th Anniversary Sale or the game's thematic relevance to ecological collapse.

However, the opportunity to experience the game for free is too good to pass up, so interested players have until November 2 to take advantage of the giveaway on GOG's front page.
