Description
- DROD RPG: The City Beneath was made by and for this community. Admittedly, The City Beneath is a very difficult game, but it’s also a tremendously rewarding experience. We did not make this game for just anyone; we made it for the great puzzlesolvers in the world–the joyful scrutinizers, the illuminated elite! Our approach is to create novel types of puzzles and showcase their facets in the context of an interesting story.
- You begin as a rather ugly man named “Beethro” who travels deep beneath the ground. There are other people down there too, citizens of a mysterious “Rooted Empire”, that are carving tunnels and building things. Beethro just wants to know why, but it’s hard to get a useful answer. He was always fond of saying “there is no problem that can’t be solved with a really big sword,” but upon arriving at the underground capital, Beethro is startled to find that nobody seems interested in attacking him. No, for some reason, they would rather persuade him to stand in a very long line.
- Are you new to DROD? If so, then I envy you. A vast, unexplored territory has just opened up! Here is what you will find in our latest offering:
Features
- Over 350 rooms, each grouped within a level organized around a different type of puzzle element.
- A humorous story of conspiracy and confusion with over 80 characters, each portrayed with quality voice acting.
- Secrets and extra challenges that lay in store for the more curious.
- A 90-minute soundtrack composed by synthpop artist Jon Sonnenberg of Travelogue.
- Detailed in-game artwork that shows a range of environments, including outdoor and weather effects.
Reviews
- “This sequel is a great continuation of DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold. Highly recommended.” -Ed Pegg, Mathpuzzle
- “The entire game is pitched at the level of frustration that keeps you hacking away at the problem instead of turning away and taking a break. You can sit down for a few before eating lunch, and when you check the time, you’ll see that you’ve been playing so long you’ve skipped lunch and dinner.” -Tony Delgado, Game Set Watch
System Requirements
- Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP/Vista

I can’t buy the game with the discount.
Caravel’s Plimus payment page says there’s something wrong with the coupon code (invalid).

Ditto. I bought Tendry’s Tale half-off yesterday, but the form for TCB says gdj-pro999 is an “invalid coupon.” I tried on a couple different browsers late last night, as well as this morning, to the same effect.

I have the same problem with this coupon code…

I’m having the same problem.
Initially, the Coupon Code field is set to “gdj-pro999″ and the “Order Information” box shows a “Game du Jour Half-off Promotion” discount. Changing the Coupon Code to (say) “xxx” and pressing the “Recalculate” button returns the page with an error icon and “Invalid coupon” near the Coupon Code field. When the fields in the Customer Information box are empty, using “Recalculate” with the correct coupon code shows the “Game du Jour Half-off Promotion” discount again.
When the required fields are filled in, using either the “Recalculate” or “Next >” buttons gets you the error icon and “Invalid coupon” again.
(My previous two comments about this haven’t shown up yet. I’m guessing they were caught in a spam filter.)
FWIW, Plimus recognizes that I’m in Australia.

I think I figured it out. If you bought the game yesterday, you have to use a different email address. It looks like each email address can only use a coupon once (even if it’s for a different game on a different day…?) that’s a guess, but it lets me use the coupon when I used a different email address than what I used yesterday.

I tried using a different name, and the coupon code worked. Perhaps the problem is that I bought yesterday’s game de jour with the same coupon code, and Plimus doesn’t like having multiple purchases using the same coupon codefrom the same purchaser.

In case you tried and had the invalid code, try again…
I just e-mailed one of the guys at CaravelGames, and he got Plimus to fix it…
Same code… -

Thanks Chad and Chris!!

Sorry, everybody, about the big problem with getting the coupon to work. Derek is right that it was a configuration problem with the Plimus coupon, and that it is now fixed if you want to use the same e-mail address to order as yesterday. Please try again if you like and it should work now. This should also be fixed for future Caravel titles available here.

Thanks, it worked this time, even if I’m a little late buying it.
Good work, Game Du Jour!.
As always
