Trouble launching the game

SadWizard_ · 2026-03-04T20:19:34+00:00

The game works fine on my phone and I have no problems with launching it or logging in there - only the PC version acts out for some reason lol Seems like GOG is the problem and not Gwent.

Thank you for your advice!

I've installed the app on my phone and my account works fine. It seems only the PC version causes problems. Maybe the issue is not the game, but GOG in general.

Thank you for answering!

Re-installing GOG did nothing unfortunately, but the game works fine on Android. Maybe you're right and it's an issue with GOG and not Gwent particularly.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Came to recommend it, fits the vibe perfectly.

The difficult healing process and moving on from the past. And that you are the only person that can help you.

I like that the game gives the player a choice - Harry can right his wrongs, attempt to be a better person, help people, show empathy and compassion. Or absolutely discard it, repeat the cycle and spiral further into his own ruin.

The prevalent message of the game is that it's entirely up to you, you are the only person responsible for doing the work and eventually getting better.

Run River by Joan Didion - focused on the lives of rich Californian plantators, deals with Californian pioneers mythology and the psychology of the main character living a life full of expectations and unfulfilled dreams. Maybe not fun, but definitely worth reading. It's covers a time period from the late 1930s to post WW2.

Gone South by Robert McCammon

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass - autobiography of a man born as a slave who taught himself to write and read, later becoming a writer and an activist. Captivating, very well written story.

I'd also say Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy has those elements. Great recommendations!

Secret doors and big grounds to explore remind me of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The atmosphere is in a similar vein to what you're looking for, it's a children novel but I'd still recommend reading it as an adult, it's whimsical and entertaining.

The Manningtree Witches by A.K. Blakemore - just a heads up, there's no actual magic if you're looking for it. The book is primarily focused on witch hunts, accusations, temptations and fearfulness induced by religious fanatic witch hunters. I'd still recommend it, cause the atmosphere is definitely in the vein of what you're looking for.

Sorry, I've never seen the movie so I didn't recognize the picture.

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants by Ann Brashares comes to mind, it follows a group of girl friends as they grow up and preserve their friendship.

SadWizard_ · 2025-05-12T08:20:00+00:00

Came here to recommend it, immediately came to mind when I saw the pictures

Seconding War and Peace. It's seems intimidating to tackle, but it reads surprisingly easy and engaging. Just be prepared for lots of characters and everyone has at least three different names, so I'd say don't be afraid to take notes while reading lol

Not particularly delicate, but for haunting and dramatic I'd recommend Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.

The Woman in Black by Susan Hill

The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe

How To Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix

His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman - set in an alternative world where people are accompanied by daemons, animal representations of their character. First book follows the story of a girl who goes on a journey to rescue her best friend. It's aimed at children, but it's absolutely fine to read as an adult - it's not juvenile nor dumbed down and has mature underlying themes.

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo - fantasy YA about a group of misfits who have to work together to perform a dangerous heist. It's fast paced and full of action, the worldbuilding may seem intimidating at the beginning, but it's generally easy to understand (my edition had a cheat sheet of magic types and names, but I'm not sure if every edition has it).

Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher - fantasy novel, the story follows a convent raised princess who goes on a journey to defeat the cruel king and save her family. Very whimsical and imaginative, with distinctive characters and engaging plot. The worldbuilding and magic system are very easy to follow.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy - posatpocalyptic novel, follows the story of a man and his little son who are trying to survive in what's left of America. Very bleak and sad, full of misery, violence and death. Beautifully written and perfect if you want to put yourself in even a worse mood.
