LH
When I said I wanted a revolution, industrial is not what I meant.

Steam Store freebies are like buses. You wait forever then two show up at once.

First up is the surreal musical adventure game Figment

Figment Link

You can also check out their demo for the upcoming Figment 2 if you're so inclined (no link, you can find it)

Then, you get another chance at the base version of the oft-free MMO Black Desert

Black Desert Link

You have until Steam Dawn on the 9th to add both games to your account.

thales_ulisses double tapped these. Thanks!

LH
Now we probably wont see another until Tell Me Why shows up again in June.

Just in case you want a DRM-free copy, GOG is also giving away Figment for the next three days.

It's like GOG Connect but with extra steps.

Take a nice vacation to the South Pacific with this week's Epic freebie Call of the Sea. If you happen to find your missing husband along the way, great! If not, just wash that man right out of your hair.

Epic has finally made the official announcement that the weekly giveaways will continue through 2023 so were good until next Epicmas at least. Yay! In the short term, we've got Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War coming up next Thursday (just in case today's game wasn't violent enough for you).

LH
More likely to pick up when my Caller ID says "The Sea" than I am for "Cthulhu"

Once again, this one takes a little patience to understand...

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is a front end used to distribute classic Capcom games. The "base" game is listed as FTP and the actual games are all DLC. Start by claiming the free "base" game from this store page:

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium Link

At the moment, the free "base" version of CA2S also drops 4 cards. You might want to farm them quickly because that could change without warning.

You can then claim the Invincibility "DLC" (which is actually the full version of the game Invincibility) here:

Invincibility DLC Link

!addlicense ASF 629728, 664318

It's not clear at the moment how long this offer will last so strike now and worry about updates later.

IonutzV worked this mess out for us while we were all asleep. Thanks!

Nowhere near invincible before my first cup of coffee

Seriously, I doubt this will make the 24 hours we usually require to be announcement worthy.

It's got a number, a colon, and a hyphen in the title. it's the pinnacle of game name design! Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War is free in the Epic store this week.

Next week: The rumor mill says Chess Ultra but apparently, Epic doesn't want to tell us just yet. That's cool. We'll update when something is confirmed.

LH
How soon before we actually have forty thousand Warhammer games?

The stand alone version of the fourth Borderlands 2 DLC that launched it's own game series is free in the Steam store for the next week (Until Steam Dawn on the 23rd)

Link

Just to be clear, this is NOT the 2022 full game Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.

thales_ulisses was the badass that found this bunker first. Thanks!

LH
Nice try 2K but you only used a hyphen and a colon. No number.

It's the GOG Spring sale and as always, GOG sale = free games for us! This time, it's the horror adventure game Lorelai.

Next week, Tunche. Yeah, good luck figuring out what kind of game that is from just the name. I'll give you a hint. It's not Tchia.

LH
Don't you know that when you play at this level, it's no ordinary venue?

Time to get grotty. SLUDGE LIFE is free in the Steam store for the next week (until Steam dawn on the 30th)

Link

b3 did the dumpster diving to find this one. Thanks!

About as Mignola as you can get without actual Mignola.

Epic continues firing both barrels. Vault across the rooftops of a zombie infested city in Dying Light: Enhanced Edition then... hmmm... seems like pirates stole the game we were expecting so instead, they're throwing Shapez at us.

The giveaway is ongoing until April 26th or until keys run out, it seems. We've had multiple reports of some people seeing the webpage indicating that keys have run out, which might be attributed to region restrictions.
