While the platform war rages on PC, GOG offers itself a special place in the gaming landscape. Known for its fight in favor of DRM-free games and the preservation of video game heritage, the CD Projekt RED store here adopts a simple and extremely effective strategy: offering 4 games for life to any new user.

The objective is clear: to attract a new wave of players while reminding them of the essence of video games. No need for a subscription or hidden fees — registration is enough to unlock the titles via a simple code.

A throwback to the 90s for RPG and adventure lovers

Three of the games offered come directly from the early 90s, a blessed era for RPGs and point’n click.

  • Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire (1990) immerses you in a jungle where science fiction and ancient tribes clash.
  • Martian Dreams (1991) sends the player to Mars for a retrofuturistic epic mixing uchrony and exploration.
  • Lure of the Temptress (1992) is a medieval narrative adventure that was innovative for its time thanks to its engine allowing NPCs to live their lives without a fixed script.

For fans of pixel art, deep narratives and demanding gameplay, this is a real treasure.

Betrayer, the ghost FPS that deserves to be rediscovered

Newer than the others, Betrayer (2014) offers a complete break from the other titles in the pack. This first-person shooter takes place in a 17th century colony immersed in an atmosphere of silent nightmare.

Its black and red aesthetic, its atmosphere without music and its mechanics mixing stealth, exploration and horror make it an atypical gem, removed from Steam for several years. Seeing it reappear on GOG is a small event.

How to get these 4 games for free

The process is simple:

  1. Create a GOG account (free).
  2. Go to the “Promo Code” page of the site.
  3. Enter the code WELCOMEGIFT in the search bar.
  4. All four games will be automatically added to your library, for life.

This is a permanent offer for new accounts, making it a perfect entry point to discover the GOG universe.
