There's been a few instances of price drops, Beyond Divinity was once $9.99 until around May this year. Original War when it was re-released after some licensing issues became resolved was cheaper too I think.

Nice, GOG undercuts the Steam price!
Except the Steam "Oddworld Pack" deal is still a better price, though not a better value, since it doesn't include all the extras GOG has.

Good. Now the only thing that GoG need to be even with the Oddworld serie on steam is to add multilanguage support which I don't understand the lack of. Steam has the game downloadable in at least 5 languages.

Last time I checked, they were scheduled for autumn this year. Fingers crossed.

Is this game similar to Another World/Flashback?

That's probably what it's closest to, yes. The style is way different, but the gameplay is roughly similar in that you first have to figure out what it is you are supposed to do and then execute it, which is, more often than not, quite tricky.
You play a normal guy, without a gun, who can a) talk to his fellow workers, to do something for him and eventually get saved by our hero and b) possess other living beings (only one type in the first game, more in the sequel) and force them to do whatever he wants to. And like in AW, there is no life bar -- one shot and you're dead. And it is quite difficult, though less than AW, I'd say.

Once again, crap deals compared to what's frequently available on Steam, I got both games from there for like 3$. Sorry.
