2010-05 Tuesday 4th, Humble Indie Bundle - 5 Indie games for a price that you decide! - Thomas - 05-04-2010
The Bundle
Five independent game developers, headed by Wolfire Games, have joined forces and created a bundle of games. The bundle consists of: Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, Penumbra: Overture and World of Goo.
Everybody that gets the bundle are also able to buy the remaining Penumbra games (Black Plague and Requiem) with a 75% discount (for only $5 that is)!
Go to the Humble Indie Bundle Website to check it all out!
Pay what you want & how you want
Get the bundle for the price that you feel is right. That is right, you pay whatever you like! You can choose to use PayPal, Amazon or Google Checkout as payment methods. Two charities, Child's Play and EFF, are part of the bundle and by default the donation is split evenly between the games and charities. It is also possible to adjust how the donation is split, if wanted you can give it all to charity!
Cross-Platform: PC, Mac and Linux
That's right, not only do you get five games for a price you choose, you also get all of them for all three computer platforms.
No DRM
All games comes completely free of any copy protection or other cumbersome DRM.
Spread the word
If you think this bundle is a good idea, please spread the word using any means you see fit. Thank You!

How do you buy the other games in the Penumbra series if you've gotten the Humble Indie Bundle?

Steam has the package of Black Plague and Requiem together for $10, or however much that is in whatever country you live in. If you're on a Mac or Linux they have a store somewhere on this site, but I'm not sure where since I've not used it.

Hes asking about how you get them for $5, an offer they're running alongside this bundle deal. A question I also came here to ask. I didn't get a coupon code in my email or anything.

Same here, would like to know the same thing. I bought the bundle mostly to get the great $5 offer, because I had none of the Penumbra games yet.

I just bought the pack despite already owning most of the titles (what wouldn't we do for a good cause?), but knowing how to get the deal for the remaining Penumbra games would be a plus. I already own them on Windows but getting myself a Linux version wouldn't be bad either.

Sorry, I didn't read this post, only the other blog post. I didn't notice the five dollar thing.

Oh when you install Overture, the installer will pop a message giving you the coupon for the rebate on the Penumbra Collection, which ends up costing $5 for all 3 games together.
It's also going to be located in a text file inside the game's folder once it's installed.

Yes, FetusZero explained it perfectly

In fact, you don't even have to install the Overture version, the code is in the text in the first screen on the installer. Be sure to read the text carefully as if you only fly over the text looking for some strange looking word, you will skip the coupon code without even noticing it's there.
Once you've seen the code, you may cancel the install and place your order.
