As expenses pile up at the end of the year between gifts, meals and Christmas promotions, some players face a dilemma: continue to play without breaking the bank. This is where Steam comes back in force with an unexpected selection of free games, often little-known, but sometimes remarkable. Spotted by the X account “Free Steam Games”, this selection of four independent titles proves that it is not always necessary to aim for AAA to have fun.
Available now, these games can be added to your library and kept forever. From horror to exploration, including strategy or idle RPG, the diversity is there.
Blightfell, for demanding strategists
“Blightfell: “Choose your house, create a unique deck, and summon powerful minions to achieve victory in Blightfell, a combat card game that demands precise decisions and deep strategic depth.””
Finding my mother, a strange and poetic journey
“Finding My Mother: “By overcoming the obstacles, the narrator and the traps that stand in your way, the player progresses, covered in objects collected from the streets: a wobbly basketball, a rusty barrel, and even a burning box. One goal: to find his missing mother and reunite her with her.””
IdleOn, or how to progress even while sleeping
“IdleOn: “The management RPG where your heroes continue to fight even in your absence! Spend their loot on upgrades, unlock classes from elemental wizard to pirate cannoneer, and develop 19 unique skills like farming, navigation, and even construction!”
In Our Parlor, a dive into minimalist horror
“‘In Our Parlor’ is a short horror exploration game. The player must navigate a mysterious mansion to unravel the story, find the parlor and escape this nightmare. Navigate through a series of dark settings and follow the music to discover what happens next.”
