I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, Puzzle-adventure with some psychological horror thrown in. Based on Harlan Ellison’s book. He voices the antagonist as well. Also, unlike the book, the game can have a happy ending, but it’s hard to get, and the only reason there is one is Cyberdreams made Ellison write one for the game.
Love this game. It’s old-school point & click but very much worth the price of free.
Single/Multi Player competitive platformer Catch Me! is free until July 17th (presumably noon CST)
The Life & Suffering of Sir Brante is free until July 23. Positive reviews from people who enjoy seeing lots of words.
Epic this week:
Foretales, story-driven card game.
Epic this week:
OTXO, top-down shooter rogue-lite.
Sol Cesto, turn-based dungeon crawler rogue-lite.
Moonlighter is free on Steam until August 9th (noon CST). Looks sort of like the JRPG classic game Recettear: Run shop by day, adventure to get goods to sell by night. Capitalism, Ho!
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is free via Ubisoft until the 12th (well, technically the 13th at 3am)
You need to activate it through their game client, Ubisoft Connect, so if that’s an issue for ya, now you know
I always thought those Ghost Recon things were all multiplayer games. I had one I thought might note be (Ghostpoint), but never had the real urge to see if they are any good for a single player FPS fan? Might as well grab that one (and update ubi client and register it).
I believe they are/were coop with a single player option (I assume bot helpers based on Wildlands which I did play)
According to Steam, online support for Future Soldier ended in 2024 so it’s single player only at this point.
I played this when it was on Gamepass, I loved it
That’s weird, Ghost recon: Breakpoint (the title I should have said up there) has just been discounted 95% on steam, 49.99 to 2.49. You don’t see THAT much of a discount often, do you? Might just grab it at that price. Plus might as well grab the future soldier one.
Epic this week:
Beacon Pines, narrative adventure.
We Were Here Together, cooperative puzzle adventure. (Repeat)
Available until noon CST on August 9th
Yup, the cost of maintaining servers was not something they could justify.
The DLC still works though! The microtransactions must flow!
Deponia is free on Steam as it has been a bunch of times in the past. But, if you missed all those other times, Deponia is once again free on Steam.
Epic this week:
Caravan SandWitch, exploration adventure
Epic this week:
Cardpocalypse, collectible card game RPG.
Albion Online Epic Mage Bundle, add on starter pack for Albion Online MMORPG (which has free base game it seems). Looks like this pack might always be free as well, though, so more of a featured item than a freebie.
A short giveaway on a different platform…
Brutal Legend is free until approx 5am CST tomorrow[1] as a memorial of Tim Curry’s passing. This is on Itch.io, an indie game platform probably best known in the past for having hosted some gigantic charity bundles. They do not have a downloadable client like Steam or Epic, it’s a direct download. You can make an account and Claim the game to your account to download at a later date.
It was “for the next 666 minutes”… ↩︎
