This should've been on GOG on day 1 - it's one of the quirkiest, most interesting takes on platforming from that time but still plays like a charm to this day. Let's bring it home :)

It's an important game. As with many others, I learned of Fez from Indie Game: the movie, which was promoted on certain online channels. Without thinking much of it, I explored further into the domain, watched it, and fell in love with the power and imagination of indie titles. After playing the game, I can say that it really stands out as a unique title that deserves the attention it garners. From the sprites, the sound, the story; Fez is a unique achievement not only for an indie game, but for video games as a medium.

Fez. Ah, Fez. Possibly the progenitor of the Clever Indie Game, where it does things to get into your mind, or plays clever tricks to reveal a deeper depth. At first blush, it appears to be a simple 2D platformer where death is but a minor inconvenience. Then the hypercube arrives. Now yes, at times Fez could be completely full of itself. Some of the puzzles are very much so "think like the developer." Yes, the developers themselves were a bit unprepared for the reception of some of the things they said. Ultimately, it's trifling and silly compared to what has since transpired. I can only hope that one day, Fez ][ does actually happen. But in the meantime, what a nice void to explore, eh?

Please bring back Fez to GOG! It's one of the crown jewels of indie gaming. I really loved the expansion of the game world (higher dimensions, learning the language, the puzzles). Everyone should get to experience this game, and it deserves to be on the Preservation Program! Do not forget to include the epic, amazing soundtrack by Disasterpeace.
I'm confused. Why has this been removed from GoG? I still have it in my Library from back when it was on GoG, but obviously it doesn't show in the shop anymore. I imagine it doesn't get updated if not being sold on the store?
Those games also need your vote!
Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!
Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!Discworld II: Mortality Bytes! is the second point-and-click adventure game based on Terry Pratchett's series of fantasy novels set on the mythical Discworld. The game was developed and produced in 1996 by Perfect Entertainment for the PC, and ported in 1997 for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. It was published by Psygnosis for the PC and PlayStation, and by Sega for the Saturn (only in Europe). In Discworld II the player controls Rincewind the "wizzard" (voiced by Eric Idle, as in the previous game) who has been burdened with the task of coercing Death out of his impromptu retirement and back into his regular duties. The plot borrows from a number of Discworld books, most notably Reaper Man, Moving Pictures and Lords and Ladies. It all begins in a quiet Ankh-Morpork street, where Rincewind and The Librarian inexplicably fail to die from a nearby cart-bomb explosion. The odd event is not shared by them alone however: occurrences of the newly dead re-awakening and disturbing the populace are being reported all over the city, prompting the Archchancellor of Unseen University to halt his usual activities of feasting and merrymaking, and to take charge of the situation. Much to Rincewind's despair, the entirety of this process involves appointing him to the task of finding Death and convincing him to resume his work.

Wandering through the dark city and gathering evidence, Lewton has to solve the case, confront a sinister conspiracy, and once again become torn between love and despair.
