The freegames community has been going for a year and a half now, probably time I updated the info.

What to post

This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost. Please use the search to check what you're posting hasn't already been posted, and start your posts with [Source] or [Store via Source] so that people can ignore giveaways they're not interested in. For example, if Fanatical were giving away a Steam key for Pong, I'd title the post [Steam via Fanatical] Pong.

I post deals as I find them (sometimes spread out over a few days or bundled together so it doesn't get too noisy) but feel free to post them if you find them first.

If you have keys that you'd like to give away then !giftofgaming@lemmy.world is a better place to post.

Forever-Free Friday

The main exception to the limited-time giveaways only rule is for the occasional posting of games which are always free. On Fridays you can post a game that's permanently free if you think it's worth showcasing to everyone. Maybe it's a FOSS project, maybe it's a game that's gone free-to-play, just make sure that the post starts with [Forever-Free Friday] and that it's something worth playing and not just the publishers trying the freemium model instead!

Notifications

If you want notifications for new posts you can subscribe to the community's RSS feed, and if you want more granular notifications you can use Lootscraper to get site-specific RSS feeds and skip the need for this community entirely!

No such thing as a free lunch

Nothing is ever completely free, and there's a definite hierarchy to the kinds of giveaways posted here:

  1. Free open-source software is pretty hard to beat, it's the free-est lunch you can get!
  2. Indies being given away directly by their creators on sites like itch.io, they may ask you to pay what you want or message you about their other games but that's about it
  3. DRM-free storefronts like GOG, you can download the installer and keep it forever but obviously they're hoping that you'll start using their site for making actual purchases too
  4. Steam, Epic Games, IndieGala, Fanatical, Microsoft, Google Play, etc. will offer freebies which could theoretically disappear at any point (this doesn't happen often, but always remember that you don't really "own" most digital items), they also hope that giving freebies will encourage you to spend money on other games of theirs
  5. Subscriptions like Amazon Prime Gaming cost money but you do get to keep the games even after you cancel
    • They offer free trials (supposedly only requiring a unique email) so you can sign up, claim all the games you want, then cancel
    • This is basically where I draw the line as you can still keep games forever if you're willing to jump through the required hoops
  6. Subscriptions like Netflix, GamePass, PS+ and Switch Online are more like renting games, you lose access to them when you stop paying so I don't count them as free games even if you are somehow able to access them for free
  7. Freemium/pay-to-win games which you can play for free as a second-class citizen don't count, and they generally have enough marketing budget that you're aware of them without the need to have them posted here!

We're all adults here and I hope you don't need to be told to be wary of blindly installing dodgy software or not to support companies you don't like. If you don't want to see giveaways from a particular source and you use a Lemmy client which supports filters then you can block specific strings from showing, for instance if you didn't want to see anything from Amazon then you could hide the string Prime].

Keep it civil and keep it chill!

This game tells the story of Miko and his younger sibling, Jun. One day, Miko receives a phone call from his mother, informing him that she will be away for work for a few days. Miko is left with the responsibility of taking care of Jun on his own. However...

While on a business trip, a stranger convinces you to let her stay with you.

Unaware of the evil lurking within her, you decide to take her in and spend time with her.

This is a short, linear visual novel combining romance and horror. The story is told primarily from Wataru’s (the protagonist’s) point of view, but other perspectives will occasionally be shown to broaden your understanding of the story.

You are 5 years old. Your parents left. And your sister made a mistake.

Your parents leave for the night to celebrate their anniversary. They trust the two of you to stay home, finish your responsibilities, and be asleep before they return. They left you alone with your older sister, Matilda, for the evening. At first, everything feels normal. You finish your homework, spend some time together, and prepare to go to bed. But everything changes when Matilda discovers a strange game hidden beneath her bed. A game neither of you should have played, "The New Friend Game."

Now something is wrong inside the house. And your sister doesn't seem like herself anymore...

Fragments of Fear is an episodic horror anthology that explores the terror hidden in the mundane. Each chapter tells a self-contained story of fear, survival, and the unknown, while slowly piecing together a larger, ominous narrative.

In Chapter 3: The Late Shift, you play as a worker just trying to get through a boring closing shift at an isolated convenience store. As the night drags on, things start to feel a bit off. Creepy customers come and go, and strange occurrences slowly break the quiet, building a creeping sense of paranoia.

Songs of Conquest is a fun little game by a Swedish developer, scratches that Heroes of Might and Magic II itch pretty well. I also enjoyed the fact it's one large story told from a few perspectives so you get to see the same incidents and their reprecussions from multiple POVs etc.

Here's the gameplay trailer:

[Itch] Transfixed, stealth horror (sinisterbyte-games.itch.io)
submitted 2 days ago by smeg@feddit.uk to c/freegames@feddit.uk

This is a first person horror game where you play as one member of a ghost buster team. The game takes place across multiple locations, though only one map is currently available and more will be added later.

A powerful ghost is haunting the house and has started infesting everyday objects. These objects behave in strange and unnatural ways under the ghost’s influence. If the ghost manages to infest every object in the location, the house becomes fully dominated and the ghost can no longer be cleansed.

The ghost cannot be killed directly. To defeat it, you must first remove its infestation from all haunted objects. Only after the house is cleared can the final ritual be performed.

Your team has already completed the earlier rituals and has placed a laptop and a ritual table in the room where the person died and became a ghost. You are sent in alone to finish the final stage. Your task is to cleanse the infested objects, then place bible on the ritual table and survive its presence.

The ghost can only detect you when you are moving or standing. If it sees you, you must immediately stop moving and crouch to avoid being killed. Timing and patience are critical, as one wrong move can cost your life.

Once the infestation is removed, you must place the Bible in the room where the person died and became the ghost. Completing this final step ends the haunting.

FEATURES

  • Realistic graphics with spine chilling sound design
  • Dark and immersive horror atmosphere
  • Ghost that interacts with objects and changes the environment
  • Unique stealth mechanic where the ghost reacts to your movement
  • Stop moving and crouch to survive when the ghost sees you
  • Fully rebindable keyboard controls
  • Gamepad support
  • Continuous updates with new maps planned in the future

Just in time for the sequel! Free to keep until June 14th!

Looks like a fun, Megaman X-type of 2D platformer!

I wish more devs would do this with sequels. Make the preceding entry free for a limited time to build hype and good will for the sequel, or if the game is still making a considerable profit, discount it heavily.

You are alone behind the counter. The store is quiet. The monitor is watching. The customers are arriving one by one, but something is wrong with some of them.

They look close enough. They talk close enough. They wait like customers. But if you serve the wrong thing, the shift ends badly.

THE JOB

Every visitor must be judged fast. Some are humans. Some are not. Your job is simple:

  • Serve the real customers.
  • Reject the things pretending to be customers.
  • Read the dialogue carefully.
  • Watch the monitor for feedback.
  • Survive the full night.
  • RULE 1: If something feels wrong, it probably is.
  • RULE 2: The monitor only says Good Job when you really earned it.
  • RULE 3: One mistake can be enough.

Rotaeno is a heart-pounding, thumb-tapping, wrist-flicking rhythm game that fully utilizes your device's gyroscope for an unprecedented musical experience. Rotate your device to hit notes as you soar through the stars. Drop into your headphones and immerse yourself in the kick beats and stellar synths of this astronautical adventure!

=A Revolutionary Way to Experience Music=

What sets Rotaeno apart is all in the name - rotation! Building on the basic controls of more traditional rhythm games, Rotaeno includes notes that require smooth turns and rapid rotations to hit, making it feel like you're drifting in a highspeed interstellar stunt race. It's a real arcade experience - in the palm of your hand!

=Multi Genre Music and Beats=

Apparently they are DLC-style songs you have to pay extra for but it doesn't seem like the usual pay-to-win mobile rubbish.
