Made in DACH is the name of the latest theme sale from game store GOG.com, with a special selection of titles developed by people in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Running until September 19th, 2022, 10 PM UTC, perhaps this is a chance for you to find something from a smaller developer or just something new to play through the week?
For this themed sale they did a few fun lists too:
- “Weltschmerz” that include games with morally dubious choices (e.g. Ghost on the Shore, Black Mirror franchise, The Shattering).
- “Reisefieber” for players seeking some adventure (e.g. Deponia franchise, BIOMUTANT, Growbot).
- “Waldeinsamkeit” with exciting survival games and rogue-lites (e.g. Highrisers, Endzone – A World Apart, Alone in the Dark Trilogy).
- “Schmetterling” which are really cute games (e.g. Dorfromantik, Luna: The Shadow Dust, LOST EMBER).
- “Simulators” (e.g. Railway Empire, We Are Football, Smart City Plan).
- Deep Stories Bundle by Application Systems Heidelberg including items: Unforeseen Incidents, The Longing, Lamplight City.
If you do find any particularly good deal, be sure to let people know in the comments.

I know schmetterling is butterfly, it's my fave word for a butterfly. Also waschbär (also german) for raccoon and kaplumbağa (turkish) for turtle.

The sale includes some really awesome games. Too many to name them all, so I'll just list a few of those that I enjoyed:
- Drakensang is a pretty well done RPG using the Dark Eye rule set and setting. Platinum rating on ProtonDB.
- The Guild II: Renaissance. That's The Guild II bundled together with all DLC, for the price you'd otherwise pay for each DLC. It's an amazing RPG/crafting simulation hybrid. Sadly it's a bit buggy, and WINE also tends to have troubles with it. It seems to be running fine with Proton 7.x though.
- Valhalla Hills. It's an homage to The Settlers 2 and manages quite well to put a modern mantle on that game design. Wuselfaktor. Has a native Linux version.
- Deponia Trilogy (yes, there are 4 games in the trilogy). I did not want to mention those games, because everyone knows them already, but they are just too awesome not to. My absolute favourite adventure games. Native on Linux.
- Shadow Tactics. It's one of the best strategy games I've played. Similar to Desperados. Also native on Linux.
- Airline Tycoon Deluxe. It's mostly managing flight plans, but it's also hilarious. Linux Native.
