We're closing in on the Season Two launch, and we're so giddy with excitement about it that we've done something a little crazy. Remember Abe Lincoln Must Die, the episode that got some of the best reviews last season? We've decided to slash the price into oblivion. That's right, from now on, Abe Lincoln Must Die is FREE. Yep, as in zero dollars. What's the catch? There is none. Just go download it and stop asking questions already.

I want my money back!

That's some great promotion! Should be interesting to see how many newcomers show up here after the word gets around.

Ok, but there's a processing fee of $6...

Not to mention a 20% restocking fee in addition to the processing fee.

Those megabytes are heavy things. Don't strain your back putting them back on the shelf.

Ooh, super secret stuff!

I'm at the page for purchasing episode 5, and the option to buy it is down. Do I just select download the demo or should I wait?

Emily · 11/05/2007, 06:08 pm

Episode 5? It's available to buy.

We did remove the option to buy episode 4, since it's now free... (The "Try the Demo" button actually takes you to a download for the full game, we just haven't had time to update that art yet.)

jab2565 · 11/05/2007, 06:28 pm

My bad, I got the episode numbers mixed up.

Rasher · 11/05/2007, 08:53 pm

My netless friend wants to know if any activation is required for this free episode. Thanks for a great gift guys

tabacco · 11/05/2007, 10:30 pm

No activation for the free version.

Rasher · 11/05/2007, 11:23 pm

Thanks, Tobacco. I'll be fun giving this episode to friends and family.

how can you possibly feel BAD about it? feel good about knowing the whole season before those who can use this promotion even played a single episode :P

How come there's no mentioning of free download from Steam in the blog post until someone pointed out in the comment?

**Jake** · 11/08/2007, 11:59 am

I don't think the Steam version was available when the blog was written. Also, people seem to be finding it just fine (and Steam is promoting it themselves), so it works out

blackflys · 11/08/2007, 12:00 pm

I've downloaded the .exe file for Episode 4, but after installation, the shortcut just brings up a reminder box.. No loading screen or bar. Is this normal? I have no idea how to get the game to play!
