Really there was only one game that I immediately thought, "Ooh! That looks interesting. I'll keep that!" All the others were more like, "I guess that might be worth trying..." In short: I won't be buying a Mystery Bundle again.

Well, I fell for it again and bought another Mystery Bundle from Fanatical. :-[ But in my defense, I was persuaded to buy it mostly because purchasing it would enter me into a chance to win a Steam Deck OLED. :D

This time I got 20 games (+1 bonus game) and it seems the ratio is about the same as last time.

10% I immediately thought "That looks fun. I'll keep that."
30% I thought "I guess it might be worth trying," or "Someone else in my household my enjoy having this in our shared library."
60% I thought "Not particularly interested."

Here's a list of the games I'm willing to part with to interested long-time members of the forum:

• Aeon Must Die!
• Beautiful Desolation
• Deathrun TV
• The Deed: Dynasty
• In Between
• Interrogation: You Will Be Deceived
• Nine Witches: Family Disruption
• Pharaonic
• Rising Hell
• Toki
• Vanaris Tactics
• White Noise 2

Here's what I kept:

• Alchemist Adventure
• Autonauts
• Encodya
• Fallout: New Vegas
• Pumped BMX Pro
• Songbird Symphony
• Super Star Path
• Tempest: Complete Edition

And the bonus game was originally another copy of Encodya but I emailed them complaining about receiving two copies of the same game in the same order and they replaced it with I Am Fish.

By the way, the games in the first post of this thread are still available. Also, I'm realizing now that I still haven't played any of the games I kept from the last one. . . I need to stop buying mystery games! 😅

Book of Demons is free on GOG for the next ~3 days:

I'm locking this thread because (1) the conversation seems to be finished, and (2) there have been a lot of spammers recently posting in this thread, asking an innocuous-looking question while quoting the first post but sneakily editing some of the quoted links to point to other sites. And since there are a lot of links in the first post it takes some time and effort to spot which ones have been tampered with.

If you feel the conversation wasn't over and would like me to unlock the thread so the discussion can continue, send me a DM and I'll be happy to oblige.
