Gaming Free Games thread

GigaBash and one of its DLCs is free on STOVE. Syberia: The World Before is also free on STOVE.

Note that the Syberia game is technically Syberia: The World Before Prologue. aka the original demo for the game, which was originally released in 2020. The full game came out March 2022, then a new demo in April 2022. STOVE seems to have messed up the naming.

It's just the first two episodes of the game. It may be interesting as a curiosity, as an earlier version of the game and demo. The Prologue used to be available on Steam and GOG, but got pulled in favor of the newer demo.

I found a video playthough of the prologue and the newer demo. Watching a bit of them side-by-side, they're largely the same , although there's some differences in details.

The $3 coupon is no longer working.

Huh. I swore I claimed it, but I can't find it in my coupon box.

Looking at the promotion page in the past, there was no posted limitations:

Neither in the forum post:

I'm guessing it turned out to be way more popular than they were anticipated, and ended it early. While I can understand shutting down the ability to claim it, it sucks that they might've removed it from people who already claimed a coupon. I guess in the future, if something that good comes up, claim and redeem it ASAP.

Would like to point out... if you're looking for great free games, try taking a gander at Itch.io's various Jam winners and runners-up... you'll find some surprisingly entertaining stuff.

"paid" app that still has ads, my favourite

Oddly, Bouncemasters is free on Google Play and Apple's App Store as well, and looks to be always free, but with ads. It's weird that Epic is selling a paid version with ads, even if they're giving it away this week.

Maybe the publisher sent the wrong version to Epic. Or, considering I've read that the ads don't show up until after the tutorial, maybe the publisher tried to hide the game still had ads.
