My game budget for today forces me to choose between Shelter and Unepic. If you are a fan of one or the other, tell me why I need to pick it, and once I decide, random.org will choose a person from this thread to get his or her choice of one of the gog gift codes I've been slowly collecting for a larger giveaway. I am looking to decide as quickly as possible so waste no time to respond please and be short and sweet with your recommendation.
Possible prizes include NWN, Planescape Torment, Desperados 1&2, Ghost Master, Startopia, Fallouts, Trines...

Unepic. I still haven't played Shelter, but Unepic is pretty good. If you like a somewhat "metroidvania" with loads of items to collect, enemies, spells and cheesy humor...
And it is still getting updates.



Edit: (you can throw that Desperados my way, if it'll make you happy. ;p)

Unepic, it seems more fun, and alot longer play time (15-20 hours vs a few).

As much as I'd like to help you, I didn't play either game so could not judge them justly.
But my vote would go to Shelter, because its pretty much different from many other games, and different usually (not always) means good.

If I'm eligible for prizes Planescape Torment, Desperados 2 or Startopia would be lovely.
Shelter is a nice game, a wee bit different from the others indies. It does looks gorgeous, but don't be fooled by it. It's a survival game and it can have some very emotional moments. The soundtrack is quite nice, too. And you are a badger.
That would be my personal choice. The very idea of the game is attractive.

Unepic is, well, a combination of platforming and RPG, with a bit of humor, but, nothing special in any respect. Been done before and even better.

Desperados or Startopia, if i'm eligible.

If you're into castlevania, rogue-like games or RPG's, go with Un-epic, it scratches that itch without a problem.
If you like story, detail, games like "The Cat Lady" or point and clicks, go with Shelter.

Thanks for the giveaway.
OK, I think I've decided. I'm going to roll the dice and see who wins now.
UnEpic.
On the surface, yeah it's just another metroidvainia, but if you were a child of grunge like myself it will pull at heart strings, make you laugh, make you cry, and at times make you groan. :D

I'll opt in for Desperados if no one else is dying for it.
I entered 2-6 in the sequence generator and 2 came out first, meaning Stooner gets the Desperados code, which has both one and 2.
For those curious, I am going with Shelter for today just because it seems so unique but Unepic is still on my radar for the very near future.
Sorry, tinyE. I just generated the sequence before I saw your post. :(

Woohoo! I really like Desperados, but I never tried the 2nd.... thanks a lot!

Can I ask which game did you chose?
Edit: oh, now I see your edit... well, you should try Unepic one of these days. I bet Shelter will not take a long time... ;p

That's what I want to hear. I just wanted it for shits and giggles. It's only right it goes to the one who will truly appreciate it.

Thanks! And well, Commandos/Desperados is my favorite kind of strategy, so...
OK, just an update, I got paid and I own both games now.
