We previewed A New Beginning [https://www.pcgamer.com/a-new-beginning-preview/], a Daedalic point-and-click adventure about saving the world from environmental catastrophe, all the way back in 2011, and it seemed promising: "Neither preachy nor educational," despite its ecological angle, but "pure sci-fi, involving a clash between one magic power-source that nukes the Earth, and a race to get it replaced with another magic one that turns simple algae into the ultimate fuel." A good bit of time-travel, too. That's always fun.

That promise paid off in the final release—not one of Daedalic's most memorable games, but a solid point-and-clicker from a studio that was at the time beginning to establish itself as one of the masters of the genre. And all of this is relevant to you because A New Beginning: Final Cut is now free on GOG.

I'm not sure why it's free, exactly: The giveaway isn't explicitly connected to GOG's currently-underway 18th Anniversary Sale [https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7706533-15554897?sid=pcg-gb-1342118878112334678&url=https://www.gog.com/en/anniversary-sale] (which is worth checking out in its own right, as always there are some very cheap deals to be had), nor is A New Beginning what I'd call a Halloween-themed game—although the prospect of ecological collapse driven by climate change that humanity seems studiously determined to ignore is pretty horrifying, come to think of it.
