Games Nebula

Unofficial Linux client for GOG.

Main repository (for now): Github - report issues and make pull requests here
Mirrors: Bitbucket, Gitlab

Games Nebula is a prototype software, it works OK for me and for at least few dozen people, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will work (without issues) for you. You can face different problems using it, if you're not ready for that, then don't use this software.

You can find installation instruction below, it's the only supported way of installation, I do not provide any distro-specific packages. If you installed the application using another way (AUR for example), try re-install using instruction before reporting a bug.

Features

• Listing, downloading and installing games from your gog library
• Possibility to create you own (non-gog) library by writing simple scripts
• Integration with wine, dosbox and scummvm to make running non-native games as easy as possible
• Utilities for configurating wine, dosbox and scummvm
• Utilities and patches for some games
• Advanced tagging

...and more.
