I'm put off by the mechanic - it just doesn't mesh (for me) with the setting. Reviews indicate that it's very challenging, and, alas, I find that discouraging as well. I won't take up any chances.
Always good to see something so different. Kudos.

In Brief

Sorry, James is a story rich, atmospheric, text based puzzle game with Sudoku and Minesweeper elements that's presented as though you are playing the game on an old DOS PC. There is some sexual content incorporated, so the game may not be appropriate for children or young teenagers. Before you decide to enter this 'competition giveaway' for a chance to win one of the 25 keys being given away by the developer, please check out some of the videos of game-play HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. Hopefully they will give you a clearer idea as to whether or not the game is suitable for you or your family? Also, if you're still looking for more decent free games to play, check the end of this review for links to more excellent commercial games called Plants vs. Zombies, Brutal Legend, Also MDK (Murder, Death, Kill) and Spellforce 2: Anniversary Edition; All are free for a limited time.

The Game:

I’ve not purchased this game yet, so haven’t posted a full review. Also, there are sparce mentions of the game online so far’probably becasue it was only released just over a week ago on Steam. There are several videos that I’ve linked to above and in the video section, which should help you decide whether this is a game for you.

Follow Thomas Beker an AI creator as he talks to his girlfriend through his aging PC. But is everything as it seems?

Nestor Yavorskyy of Konstructors Entertainment has crafted a thriller story for you to uncover in discussions between Thomas and his girlfriend Elisa. Through their interactions and in the games found on Thomas’ PC you’ll find out just what Elisa and Thomas share in common despite being two thoroughly different people.

The game features fifty-odd levels supposedly based on a combination of Sudoku and Minesweeper, interspersed with chat segments which have been created with the aid of real life psychological research.

Other Reviews and Videos of Sorry, James:

You can see mainly positive reviews from the Steam community for Sorry, James HERE. There are several in-game videos of game play HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.

Conclusion:

Unable to post a conclusion yet. will post one if I getthe opportunity to play the game before the giveaway ends.

Suggestions:

If you win a key and once you've had an opportunity to play ’Sorry, James’, please take a few moments to give some positive or negative feedback; for example, what you liked or disliked about the game, or how it could be improved. If you don't like the genre at all, please explain why and if any, what improvements would change your mind? Once the competition is over, you can access the comments section by going to the game giveaways home page, then scroll to the bottom of the page where it says Archives and select the date the giveaway was live (giveaway days are in bold type). This will open up the appropriate page for you to post your comment or review (Mon 6th Nov). Alternatively, you can Google the name of the game and include Gamegiveawayoftheday in the search. This should give you a list of links to when this game was given away.

There are thousands of subscribers to the game giveaway of the day every weekend which makes this an ideal forum for giving developers new or fresh ideas as to what their consumers (i.e you) would like to see in a game. For example, you could suggest extra content such as better or more original mini games, or a level editor that you would like to see that would make it more appealing to you. Maybe you think the graphics are a little dated and are in need of re skinning, or maybe you've just had enough of the genre and want to see something different or something with more originality? Giving such feedback instead of saying nothing or just saying this game is rubbish or good may bring more developers to the site, which could mean more and better games. Would 'you' give away thousands of copies of a game (or extra content for a game) away to a community that complains all the time instead of giving useful feedback? It only needs a few moments of your time.

This site could be transformed if only the community would be more forthcoming in their opinions of the games they are getting for free instead of complaining about the way this site has changed, for example, they don't like MPC games, they hate HOG's, have had enough of Match Three and Time Management games, or they want to see the latest version of Call of Duty or some other big name AAA game given away or that they don't like Steam games. If something isn't for you then please move on to the next giveaway, or check out the forums HERE, HERE and HERE, where a few members of the community post details of various free games and free game sites as well as links to various indie bundle sites etc; you never know, you may find something that really interests you.

If you miss the competition or fail to win a key for ‘Sorry, James’ you can always get the game via Steam HERE for £3.99/$4.99

Problems getting the game to work:

If you're having problems installing or activating or getting ‘Sorry, James’ to work please visit the FAQ's Thread HERE and read through the communities comments in case someone has already posted a fix, or alternatively visit the Steam forums.

If, for any reason you want to contact the giveaway team, for example, you have a game to offer the community, or are unable to complete all the competition requirements that the FAQ's thread or these comments don't cover or solve you can do so HERE

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the developers ‘Konstructors’ for giving away their game, and also to the game giveaway team, as always, for securing other ways to get free games.

Useful Information not related to today's game giveaway:

If ’Sorry, James’ doesn't interest you, but you still hanker for something new to play, you'll find details of some game deals whether they be sale items, indie bundles or games being given away for free HERE (I've not updated the thread in a while, but most of the links still take you to the latest deals).

The latest Origin giveaway is Plants vs. Zombies Game of the Year Edition. which you can find HERE. If you love Tower Defense, or arcade games in general, this is a fabulous game. It's not like your typical TD game. It's easy to pick up, but hard to stop playing. A fantastic and well balanced arcade game, with brilliant game play and in my opinion one of the best of its kind. You can see a couple of game play videos HERE and HERE. You can also get a free Steam key for Brutal Ledgend (offer Ends Wed 22nd 6pm UK time) via the Humble bundle site HERE. You can see a couple of game play videos HERE and HERE (featuring some real heavy metal legends such as Ozzy Osbourne (formerly of Black Sabbath) and Rob Halford (Judas Priest) and introduced by Jack Black, not suitable for children and young teenagers).

Thanks to Picollo30 for the heads up on two more free games one from GOG called MDK (played this about 10 years ago with my son, a little dated now, but still a lot of fun, you'll find it HERE and Spellforce 2: Anniversary Edition (you need to install and play the games for several minutes, then it becomes yours permanantely) HERE.
