As the AAA releases pile up this fall, Steam takes everyone on the wrong foot with a refreshing offer: 12 indie games to download for freeto vary the pleasures or simply discover unsuspected nuggets.

Here is the complete list of games available for immediate download on the Valve platform:

A varied selection, between thrills and relaxation

1. Fragments of Dread – False Haven
This episodic narrative game explores different emotions, starting with fear. Each chapter addresses a distinct atmosphere, for an experience that is as mysterious as it is minimalist.

2. Tiny Terrors
A cute and colorful adventure where you play as a little ghost from a top view, who explores a city full of surprises. Perfect for immersing yourself in a Halloween atmosphere without any shock.

3. Bat Blitz
Assumed clone of Vampire Survivorsthis title focuses on frenetic action and waves of enemies to eliminate in succession. Simple, but effective for letting off steam.

4. Blazing Maidens
Same principle as Bat Blitzwith a different aesthetic. Again, it’s a non-stop enemy shoot in a retro arcade style.

5. Blue Protocol: Star Resonance
An open world MMORPG that allows you to create your hero, go on a raid, or simply fish and relax with friends. The Zen alternative to one World of Warcraft overexcited.

6. Zombie Hunter
An apocalyptic FPS where you face waves of undead. Little subtlety, but a dark and direct post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

7. Path of the Sphere
A puzzle game with a Zen aesthetic: you guide a marble through a maze by tilting the environment. Calm and cerebral, ideal for relaxing.

8. Cosmic Cargo
Inspired by Dredgethis game puts you in control of a spaceship to transport intergalactic cargo. Relaxing and mysterious atmosphere.

9. o_Ossel’s Odyssey
Offbeat 2.5D platform reminiscent of the world of old people Rayman. A strange and original adventure to discover for its visual charm.

10. The House She Haunts
Psychological horror and haunted house on the program. You will have to survive the presence of a possessed doll in a terrifying building. To play in the dark… or not.

11. Ship Battle
A simplified naval battle game, for fans of duels on the high seas. Basic, but accessible.

12.Genesis
First-person survival horror in a sinister village. Very inspired by resident Evilit offers a good dose of tension, despite its modest means.
