Epic has [Nioh: The Complete Edition](https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/p/nioh-the-complete-edition) and [Sheltered](https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/p/sheltered) Free today. Nioh’s release date is yesterday and was priced at 40 quid, is this some sort of mistake? ---

Nioh was released in November 2017, heck the sequel Nioh 2 was released March of last year. ---

Nioh is an older game - the Complete edition may be just released though. Also, Nioh 2 has also just had a Complete Edition released on Epic, so maybe they’re hoping you’ll buy that after. ---

I’ve never played “Sheltered”. It looks like a low budget version of “Oxygen Not Included”. Is that a wrong assessment? ---

[Exit Limbo: Opening](https://freebies.indiegala.com/exit-limbo-opening) is free for keeps on Indiegala today (“this weekend”). It’s not a Steam key, just the game download, and I don’t usually bother with posting those because few people seem to click links for anything but Steam games. But Exit Limbo: Opening is a pretty sweet game if you like side-scrolling beat 'em ups, both generally well-reviewed and looking gorgeous so maybe give it a try. ---

> [@Whack-a-Mole](#): > > I’ve never played “Sheltered”. It looks like a low budget version of “Oxygen Not Included”. > > Is that a wrong assessment? It’s an older game which I believe was created before ONI. There’s not nearly as much customization but I still enjoyed it. It’s a family surviving nuclear fallout together rather than dupes being created on the fly so there’s more focus on each member’s emotional state; deaths are devastating. I found it insightful that pets played an important role in keeping family morale up. There are also moral dilemmas like starving people asking for help at your shelter door when you barely have enough food for yourselves, etc. ---

Syberia is a lot of fun if you like that type of game (I forget if I played the second one).
