Comments:
I normally don't repost the cell phone games, but I spent way too long playing Arkanoid and Arkanoid II:Revenge of Doh as a kid on my Apple IIGS so thought I'd share. My phone's charging, and I don't know how well the game will work with the phone's interface instead of a mouse or joystick.
A friend had "Yellow Submarine" on his Apple IIe and it was a decent side-scrolling shooter, but I thought "Sea Dragon" was better (although Sea Dragon was "Nintendo Hard" although not made by Nintendo. It was made by Thunder Mountain, the makers of Dig Dug.). Again, haven't tried the Android version, only the original Apple II version.

Space Quest Zero
http://www.reloaded.org/download/Space-Quest-Chapter-0-Replicated/48/

Official Propaganda said:

Most, if not all of us, have heard about the brilliant Space Quest series from Sierra. So far it has spawned 6 games with a rumoured 7th on the way. But... did you ever wonder about the story behind the first game? Why Vohaul decided to make an army of Salesmen and not Warriors? What Roger Wilco's life had been like before he signed on for duty abord the Federal Spacelab, Arcada? Now you won't have to look any further, because this is Space Quest Chapter 0: Replicated!The unstoppable army of... salesmen?

The story begins with our hero, Roger Wilco of course, beeing abrubtly awaken from his nap in the broom closet. Upon leaving his favourite relaxation spot, he discovers that the entire crew on the Los X have been brutally murdered and that the space station is in danger of falling appart. The only other living person on the ship is a mysterious blue skinned girl, who escapes in one of the remaining escape pods before Roger can speak to her.

With little time left to think, Roger follows her example and climbs into an escape pod himself, only to find out that it has been sabotaged. From this moment on it is up to Roger to think fast, or end up as a victim to one of the many perils in the game.

Take that, evildoer!The actual gameplay is extremely simple and most of the puzzles can be solved differently. Jeff Stewart worked really hard to try to eliminate all the possible dead-ends in the game, so that you wouldn't have to load a previous game because you forgot to pick up something. As with other Space Quest stories, this one uses many cross-references to popular shows. The most obvious one would be Star Wars, but there are also hints to Matrix and Spawn amongst others, and the Space Station Los X is a gigantic PlayStation controller. All in all the many references make the game extremely enjoyable, and the actual plot in the game keep you going to see what's next.Meet Vohaul

Space Quest: Replicated is programmed using AGI (the system used for the original Space Quest game). This makes the game look and feel like the "sequel" Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter. And as with the original old school Sierra games, this one doesn't use a mouse interface, but relies on commands typed in by the player. Personally I don't find this as a problem, but I know a lot of newer gamers out there will have problems with this type of control.

Carl's friend - the mysterious unnamed guard.One thing that also must be mentioned is the steering of the character. Space Quest: Replicated is sofar the only AGI game in which the character has a different view for all 8 directions, making Roger Wilco look great and natural no matter which direction he is walking in. 8 directional movement makes it easier to navigate through some of the obstacles in the game, and is needed in order to survive the underwater plants after your crash. There is a flaw with this, however, as it needs a numpad to function properly (you can also use Page Up, Page Down, Home and End). For people who want to play this game on a laptop this suddenly becomes a bit more "interesting" as the player will have to make a numpad using the FN key, or try to remember which direction the Home key was. It's not a big issue as it only occurs on laptops, and is actually a huge plus when you play it with a real keyboard, but it's present and that takes away some of the total score.Hmm... she looks familiar...

The music and sounds in the game consist of a very few computer bleeps, the most common would be when you get a new point. Music is almost non-existent and you do miss it when you are stuck somewhere and can't hear a single thing as you try to solve the current puzzle, but as soon as the music comes back you'd wish it had never bothered showing up. It get's so frustrating at times (especially in the Bar) that you try to do whatever it is you need to do in that scene as fast as possible, just to get the heck away from the place and never return.

The endresult is a game that is a worthy member of the Space Quest family, but one that can also be frustrating at times.

Dink Smallwood was released as freeware.
https://www.rtsoft.com/pages/dink.php
www.reloaded.org/download/Dink-Smallwood/14/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rtsoft.rtdink

Official Propaganda said:

Here is Dink Smallwood, a very good Roleplaying/Adventure game. It was made by RTSoft in 1999. It has good graphics and the sound doesn't strike any odd notes either. Another positive thing is that your adventures will be often filled with humor.

You play the role of Dink, a young boy who lives with his mother. The game begins shortly after the death of his father. When you start, you will have to do a few little things and collect nuts for your mother. On your return, you will find the house burning and your mother dead.

And so the quest begins. You'll have to learn magic, buy weapons, drink various potions, talk and basically do the things you need to do in every RPG. However, don't think it is easy. You will be able to go through different places, but there are hidden ones too. In your conversations you be able to ask different questions. Some of them will affect the gameplay, while others are just for fun. Of course, at a certain level, you will gain one level of attack, defense or magic up, depending on which one you choose you wish to improve.

Some of you may ask yourselves what's the idea behind walking around and killing without any obvious reasons. Well, there is something you must achieve. In the beginning you want to become a hero and beat the milder Flamsop, and after you have accomplished that task, you'll have to fight the evil Cast.

As for compatibility, sometimes the game stops and you will have to get out by using the infamous Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination. That's why you should save your game often.

How about some classics in the Roguelike genre?
These should run on virtually any PC made in the last 30 years. They are probably well known to fans of the Roguelike genre, but it came to my attention I should call attention to these old classics for the next generation.
Of course, we start with Rogue itself, grandfather of the genre. Without Rogue's quest for the Amulet of Yendor we'd have never had Diablo or any other roguelike.
https://www.free-culture.ir/Rogue_1984-The_DOS_Game-The_History-The_Science.html

Then there was uMoria
https://umoria.org/
Note that if you can't run this version, search for the game with Google and you can find the older DOS version. This game has also been ported to the Macintosh (both 68K and modern), Linux, Unix, and the Apple IIGS (Available on the Ground or Caltech FTP mirrors).

uMoria official propaganda said:

Umoria - a free roguelike game
One of the original roguelikes, together with Hack and Larn
Embark upon a classic adventure deep into the mines of Moria to test your skill against the mighty Balrog!
The game of Umoria is a single player dungeon simulation. Starting at the town level, you begin your adventure by stocking up on supplies - weapons, armour, and magical devices - from the various stores. After preparing for your adventure, you descend into the Dungeons of Moria where fantastic adventures await!

If you've prepared well and acquired the right skills and experience - with perhaps a little luck too - you can descend to the deepest levels and attempt to defeat the Balrog.

Another good clone was Project Omega.
http://www.alcyone.com/max/projects/omega/
Omega also has been ported to Mac, Unix, Linux and the Apple IIGS (although the link for the latter isn't above. You'll have to find it on either the Apple II Ground or Caltech FTP mirrors)

Omega official advertisement from the 1980's for Omega 0.75 said:

(ESTABLISHING SHOT) A weary ADVENTURER, wearing battered armor
and 10 glowing rings, clutching a potion bottle, and laden with all
manner of weapons, magical devices, and sacks of gold, lies panting on
the ground outside of the seedy-looking entrance to a grimy Dungeon.
The nearby scenery is uniformly grey and uninteresting.

Bluff Male Voice: Retrieved the Amulet of Yendor too many times to
count?

Sultry Female Voice: Can't see anything in the Eye of Larn?

BMV: Eaten one too many Zombie corpses?

SFV: Run out of Greater Gods to kill?

CLOSE-UP: The ADVENTURER's sweat-streaked face, which is
nicked and bruised. He has a black eye.

The ADVENTURER nods wearily, and, it seems, with some boredom.

MBV+SFV: Then take the ultimate challenge ... The final quest ... OMEGA!

(PAN VERTICALLY TOWARD SKY)

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir: Ooooooo -- mega!

A shaft of brilliant sunlight pierces the overcast sky,
revealing a Mystic Portal in the sky. A rainbow bridge lances from
the portal toward the ADVENTURER. As the ADVENTURER hesitantly sets
foot on the bridge, he (with the viewer) is swept through the M.P.
in a masterpiece of computer animation. There is a flash of light,
and a TRANSFORMED ADVENTURER, in newly polished and chromed armor,
wielding a flaming sword, strides confidently toward an edifice that
makes the Castle of Ultimate Darkness look like a sandcastle. The
landscape is vibrantly colored, and we feel that there are new
challenges awaiting just over the horizon.

TMTC: Magnificat! Magnificat! Magnificat!

BMV: Coming Soon to a site near you!

SFV: Challenge Omega -- The Final Quest!

As the ADVENTURER passes through the entrance to the AWESOME
CASTLE, a giant portcullis slams shut behind him with the force of
a Death Star bulkhead, and we hear a muffled scream, soon cut off.

Satanic Male Voice: If you dare! <laughs insanely>

Nethack is another old classic
https://www.nethack.org/

Nethack official propaganda said:

What is NetHack?
NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine. Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly. Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender.

For information on running the program see the README that comes with each copy.

Tales of Maj'Eyal: Age of Ascendancy
is actually available for free, despite being listed as a game that costs money on both GoG and Steam.
https://te4.org/

Tales of Maj'Eyal official propaganda said:

Tales of Maj’Eyal (ToME) is a free, open source roguelike RPG, featuring tactical turn-based combat and advanced character building. Play as one of many unique races and classes in the lore-filled world of Eyal, exploring random dungeons, facing challenging battles, and developing characters with your own tailored mix of abilities and powers. With a modern graphical and customisable interface, intuitive mouse control, streamlined mechanics and deep, challenging combat, Tales of Maj’Eyal offers engaging roguelike gameplay for the 21st century.

The continent of Maj’Eyal lives in a relative peace. After millennia of war the orcs are extinct, the advanced races have allied together, and the evils of magic have been repressed. But there are still untamed forests, cursed lands, marauding bandits, sealed dungeons of undead, and whispers spread of hidden cults of mages. Some even say the orcs are not all dead, and muster their strength in dark places.

You are an adventurer, seeking your fortune in the open world, investigating ruins and mysteries in search of riches and powers. Explore a continent still scarred by the terrible Spellblaze from ages past, teeming with wild beasts, monsters, trolls and giants. Delve through dark dungeons infested by armies of undead, demonic monstrosities and hideous horrors. Uncover world changing secrets, from relics of the ancient and all-powerful Sher’Tul race to veiled cities of magic and concealed psionic beings. Fight with skill and care against undying necromancers, towering dragons, primeval forces, arcane demons and world-threatening powers.

Take part in an epic fantasy adventure like no other, engaging both your imagination and your intelligence, demanding thought and attention to succeed. Winner of the Roguelike of the Year award 2010, 2011 and 2012, Tales of Maj’Eyal is backed by constant development and an active, friendly community that have together invested over 1428 years of total playtime. 235 players are playing right now – why not join them?

The Spirit Engine 1 & 2
http://thespiritengine.com/

Spirit Engine official propaganda said:

The Spirit Engine is a 2D, sidescrolling adventure/RPG game with a simple story and a straightforward, innovative real-time combat system. Written as an experimental reaction to old 16bit console RPGs, it took a little under two years to complete and was released in November 2003 as freeware under Natomic.

Although TSE-1 suffers from amateurish scripting and graphics, poor coding, a cumbersome menu system and a slow and unrefined combat engine, I am still proud of what the game achieved. Most importantly I enjoyed playing it and, although it split opinions, I am happy to say that many others did too.

The game concept lays the foundations for The Spirit Engine 2.

The Spirit Engine is FREEWARE. It is free to download but may not be redistributed without consent.

BTW, the original Space Quest I and II can be found on the Apple IIGS Memory Fairway, now called "What is the Apple IIGS" as well as the "Asimov FTP site" (both IIGS and IIe versions on the latter, the GS version is far superior due to it being the next generation hardware).
No links because they might be considered piracy as they are AbandonWare sites and Asimov was considered a pirate site in the mid '90s as a few companies still had some of the titles listed in their mail-order catalog (Mostly educational titles for use with a IIe Card.) until the end of the 20th century.

Thanks again for the links.

WARNING: Daggerfall has a bug that may prevent you from reaching the end of the game, be sure to look for a patch to fix this.

Yooka and Laylee return for a platform hybrid adventure
Yooka & Laylee are back in a brand-new platform adventure from Playtonic Games! With their arch-nemesis Capital B up to no good, the buddy duo needs to spring into action once again to save the day.
To thwart his evil plan of using a “Hivemind” device to enslave an entire kingdom of bees, our heroes need to take the fight to Capital B’s “Impossible” Lair.
Things look tough, but with the help of Queen Phoebee and her Royal Beettalion , Yooka and Laylee might just have a chance!
2.5D Platforming!
Each level offers beautiful, rich visuals with detail and depth. Yooka, Laylee and a whole host of colourful characters (good and bad) are realised in stunning 2.5D
3D Overworld!

Suggested on GoG]:

Although this game I found is an online multi-player title. The game supports a full single player mode as well. It is still being developed and when you go to their Discord channel. You can talk directly to the developers and even offer help and ideas.

The game runs on intel gpu's of a modern generation, so technically, those could be viewed as a potato. The Thief fan made content and Anomaly are a little up there. But yeah. Some can play them and its pretty cute too!

Game title:

Veloren
https://veloren.net/

If you want the latest version for offline single play mode, heres a link:
https://veloren.net/download-other/

Grab the Nightly of your OS. As they state, you do not get automatic updates and must return there to get any updated versions each time, if you do not use their Launcher. If you use their launcher, you should be just fine for auto updates and the multi-player aspect. But I cannot confirm this as I only tested their single player nightly.

Veloren official propaganda said:

Veloren is a multiplayer voxel RPG written in Rust. It is inspired by games such as Cube World, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft.

Veloren is fully open-source, licensed under GPL 3. It uses original graphics, musics and other assets created by its community. Being contributor-driven, its development community and user community is one and the same: developers, players, artists and musicians come together to develop the game.

Kind of has a Neverwinter game play with a WASD control meets Minecraft graphics. But if you played minecraft, you will get really confused. All in all decent game. Just needs adjusting to it.

Couple more roguelikes have been suggested on SV:
BORK'S FREE ROGUELIKES (THAT AREN'T DWARF FORTRESS, CDDA OR ANY OVERCOMPLICATED CRUD)

BROGUE

A graphically updated version of Rogue with a mouse interface and all of the RNG BS that makes dungeon roguelikes great. Get this while you can.

The Ground Gives Way

Extremely traditional ASCII graphics but more than makes up for it with a crap-load of items, simple combat mechanics and surprising amounts of depth in a tiny package.

Indie Gala has a new free game up:
Figment
https://freebies.indiegala.com/figment

Figment official propaganda said:

Description

A musical action-adventure set in the recesses of the human mind... Welcome to the world of Figment. A strange and surreal world; a place filled with our deepest thoughts, urges and memories, populated by the many voices we hear in our heads.

This mind has been quiet and calm for many years. But something has changed. New thoughts have started to emerge - taking the shape of nightmarish creatures who spread fear wherever they go. The only hope is for the grumpy Dusty, the mind's former voice of courage, to get back to his old self and help the mind to face its fears.

Join Dusty and his ever-optimistic friend, Piper, on an adventure through the different sides of the mind, solving puzzles to set things straight, beating back the nightmares and seeking to restore the courage that's been lost.

Experience how traditionally hand-painted brushstrokes come to life in a world filled with surreal art, colorful illustrations and charming characters. Experience the unique artstyles of the joyful Freedom Isles, the radiant Clockwork Town and the ominous Pathways.

Music is an integral part of Figment. Explore a rhythmic environment full of trumpet trees, piano houses and singing enemies and discover how your actions influence this musical universe and its dynamic soundtrack.

Take an emotional journey to face universal human fears and help Dusty bring peace to the mind again. Overcome the Nightmares by using their dirty tricks to your advantage.

Figment offers various challenges for all kind of players. Swing your sword skillfully at the enemies, rack your brain to solve puzzles and combine the two in epic musical boss battles.

If possible, please support the developer on Steam (by getting it there too or even wishlisting it, it has Achievements, Trading Cards and more features) or wishlist the upcoming standalone sequel!

This site has a lot of free RPGMaker games. RPGMaker games look and feel like a lot of SNES RPGs like Final Fantasy IV, Secret of the Stars, Paladin Quest (ok, maybe not as I don't see the funky colors), Earthbound, Lufia, Breath of Fire, Live a Life, etc.
https://rpgmaker.net/games/

Oh, if you haven't heard of any of the titles I mentioned, I recommend all of them, but they aren't free and are hard to find without resorting to piracy and emulation these days, but we don't talk about downloading ROMs on SP so I can't help you here at SP.

IndieGala is offering Leisure Suit Larry 1. From the pictures it looks like the original AGI version that was ported to the Apple IIGS among other platforms. Released before the days of the ESRB ratings, I recall my mother actually bought it as a birthday gift for me in 1991 not realizing it was an adult game. She was familiar with King's Quest and Gold Rush, and saw "Sierra 3D animated adventure" and bought it for my 12th birthday. It was...educational although a lot of the adult humor flew over my head, I appreciated it more when I got older.
From the screenshots, it looks like they made it work for Win10. It doesn't look like the VGA remake as they look identical to what I recall on the IIGS version.
https://freebies.indiegala.com/leisure-suit-larry-1-in-the-land-of-the-lounge-lizards

Leisure Suit Larry official propaganda said:

Description
Larry Laffer is a short, tacky, balding, forty-year-old man who has been living with his mother until recently. He used to be in the software business, but decided to leave everything behind as he moved to the city of Lost Wages in pursuit of sexual fulfillment. Clad in a white polyester leisure suit, Larry finds himself outside of Lefty's Bar, determined to finally lose his virginity - or commit suicide if he is unable to achieve that goal before dawn.

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards is the first game in Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry series, largely inspired by the text adventure Softporn Adventure, though with a greatly enhanced script containing more humorous descriptions and dialogue. A text parser is used to input commands for interaction with a graphical environment. Progress is achieved by collecting various items and figuring out which of those may be essential for conquering the hearts of the several female characters appearing in the game.

- Play as one of gaming’s longest lasting legends: Leisure Suit Larry!

- Al Lowe’s famously risque humor and bodacious babes that are waiting to “work out” with you!

- Use text commands for interactions with the environment!

If possible, please support the developer on Steam (by getting it there too or even wishlisting it).

Check out ALL the ongoing FREEbies here.

No plans for this upcoming St. Valentines? Struggling to find love?

Larry understands your struggle and is here for you. Hope is not lost.

So stay positive and perseverant, eventually you will find the one.

Influent is free on Humblebundle. Not really much of a game, more for helping people learn languages.
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/influent

Influent official propaganda said:

Influent is provided DRM-Free for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Description
Influent Free Edition - Français + Italiano + 한국어 [Learn French + Italian + Korean]

This special Free Edition of Influent includes 3 great languages to try out and was made available in response to the 2020 stay-at-home advisory and closing of schools across the globe to help with the tedium of being stuck indoors for months on end. Read the full press release here!

“By immersing the player in the target language, Influent closely models the way we naturally learn our native language. I suggest giving Influent a try.”
- Steve Hammond, Somnambulant-Gamer

Inspired by Dreamcast titles of old (namely Shenmue and Toy Commander ) Influent immerses players in a fully interactive 3D environment where the names for absolutely every object in the game can be gleaned with a single click! In fact, even more information can be learned with a double-click! Every door, drawer, and cabinet can be opened with a right-click here and a right-click there, revealing more and more things to be learned! Packed to the brim with hundreds of native audio pronunciations (painstakingly recorded specifically for this game), Influent offers players a unique opportunity to enjoy learning both vocabulary and pronunciation in the language of their choice.

With 10 languages currently available for download, Influent combines the joys of playing a video game with the language learning process, resulting in real-life rewards and achievements that will remain with players for the rest of their lives.

Influent: Language Learning Redefined.

Audio from native speakers

Synonym swap functionality

Learn at your own pace!

Fully interactive modern apartment

Over 420 words to collect and master

Includes Nouns, Adjectives, and Verbs

15+ Languages to choose from (more to come!)

Which languages are included in the Free Edition?

The relatively new Free Edition includes the French, Italian, and Korean language packs right out of the box.

What if I don't want French, Italian, or Korean?

If you're not interested in any of those languages and want to save on some hard drive space and load time when launching the game, you can skip the Free Version by reading the following example about Mark and Patricia.

If Mark wants to learn Latin, he should purchase the "Influent - Latina [Learn Latin]" store item. If his wife Patricia then wants to learn Swedish, Mark should then purchase the DLC store item entitled "Influent DLC - Svenska [Learn Swedish]." This can also be done from Patricia's perspective and will have the exact same result with Patricia purchasing the Swedish base game and then also buying the Latin DLC for Mark, herself, or even anyone else, to use on the same computer.

Do you have plans to release more languages? When???

New Language Packs will be released as they are completed. A full list of languages that are coming soon can be found on the Official Website .

Check out the Community Hub for Frequently Asked Questions and other cool stuff!

A BRIEF BACKGROUND

Influent is a Language Learning Game focusing primarily on vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation. It was initially developed in Japan at the University of Tsukuba's Entertainment Computing Laboratory under the Monbukagakusho Government Research Scholarship .

After research funding ran out, further funding from a wildly successful Kickstarter Campaign allowed for the completion of the game. A research paper on the ideas surrounding the game and its applications was published by the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ), which can be viewed in its entirety here .

Andrew Cross is infuriated!

For three long years, he sat confined to his work, developing a device that he firmly believed to be a technological breakthrough in the way people would interact with the world around them. A device that could scan any object in the real world and then provide its name in any language! Duly dubbing his fancy new invention the "SanjigenJiten," Andrew arranged an appointment to demonstrate the device's amazing capabilities at the world's largest technology corporation, Technoglobe International.

But while on his visit, he fell for a girl he met in the lab, and while she stole his heart, someone else silently stepped in and stole his device! Now, Technoglobe has gone and swiftly marketed the SanjigenJiten as their own, even laying claim to the very name he had so cleverly concocted!

But Andrew Cross has a plan. He's made an even better version of his SanjigenJiten and launched an online campaign, swearing to learn 300 words in a foreign language to raise awareness of Technoglobe's blatant theft and prove his device really works! But does the SanjigenJiten really work? Can Andrew actually pull it off?!

For those familiar with the indiegala freebies, (even if not)

Using their galaclient (indiegala.com/galaclient)
in the "freebies & more" section, there are 163 games you could "Add to collection"
(which are not available from the website
freebies.indiegala.com
right now I only see 3 games claimable there)

Later, you can uninstall the galaclient and access the offline installers as all we normally can through their website indiegala.com (navigation: "My library" -> "Showcase")

True, a significant amount from the list can be found in itch.io as "name your price",
But there are some relevant, to me:

-Adam Wolfe (Complete Edition)
-Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story
-Back To Bed
-Childhood
-Deponia
-Desert Child
-Five Nations
-Journey of a Roach
-Syberia
-Syberia II

Please notice there are NSFW games in the full listing

It worths the hassle to -temporary install their client to claim the freebies- if you ask me.
I hope you agree checking the listing by your own tastes. Regards

I want to mention that there is a thread on gog.com that updates frequently that mentions giveaways on itch.io. As in several times a week. I've never heard of any of the games mentioned, and my HD is full so I'm not downloading anything until I get a new job and a bigger HD.
Anyways, there were enough updates flooding the other threads that they felt they needed to give this its own thread just for one site's free games.

Second is Escape Velocity, including Escape Velocity Nova on this Reddit thread...
**EDIT: Never mind, I didn't read it carefully enough, I thought it was freeware but it was a Warez link. I hadn't actually downloaded it.
The original place I found it implied it was freeware and was linked to on a site that did not permit warez links.

Dear Ester Landmark Edition free on Steam until the 16th
https://store.steampowered.com/app/520720/Dear_Esther_Landmark_Edition/

Dear Ester official Propaganda said:

About This Game
'A deserted island... a lost man... memories of a fatal crash... a book written by a dying explorer.'

Dear Esther immerses you in a stunningly realised world, a remote and desolate island somewhere in the outer Hebrides. As you step forwards, a voice begins to read fragments of a letter: 'Dear Esther...' - and so begins a journey through one of the most original first-person games of recent years.

Abandoning traditional gameplay for a pure story-driven experience, Dear Esther fuses its beautiful environments with a breathtaking soundtrack to tell a powerful story of love, loss, guilt and redemption.
Key features:

Every play-through a unique experience, with randomly generated audio, visuals and events.

Explore incredible environments that fully immerse you in the haunting island and its mysterious past.

A poetic, semi-randomised story like you've never experienced in a game before.

Stunning soundtrack composed by Jessica Curry, featuring world-class musicians.

An uncompromisingly inventive game delivered to the highest AAA standards.

Dear Esther: Landmark Edition has been remade with the Unity engine, featuring a full audio remaster, and the addition of a brand-new Directors' Commentary mode, allowing players to explore the island and learn what inspired the game and how it was crafted by The Chinese Room and Rob Briscoe.

A couple people found some more stuff on GoG's forums.

HoangMarcel on GoG said:

Survival Crisis Z is an isometric survival horror game set in the zombie apocalypse
The game is freeware and you can download it here: https://ska-studios.com/games/survival-crisis-z/

Survival Crisis Z official propaganda said:

Retro Ska aka Totally Screwed Software
Once upon a time, a young hobbyist, James Silva, created some games. Some people want to still play those games for some reason. We have a few of those games available to download but they are no longer supported so if they don’t work on your computer, we’re sorry! You’ll have to find a forum somewhere where someone has figured out how to make it work on the latest Windows.

Shmacky-McNuts on GoG said:

Nothing of any particular note. But if you want something simple and for Windows, try these:
https://portableapps.com/apps/games

None would probably make the list. But they are free and portable for windows.

Defining portable: They don't require installation and can be burned to a cd/dvd and also be run from a memory device; usb stick for example.

Indie Gale has put up another puzzle game, basically the same thing as before but with new pictures.
Also I found that if you use the hamburger menu from the below link and choose "Showcase" there are a lot more free games than if you click on the "freebies" link. Some are NSFW, but those seem to have blurred preview pics.

This FPS was mentioned as being free on Microsoft's store, but when I checked the link it was listed as a "Free trial". I'm not clear if it's only free for the next 19 days or if it's actually free. I'm not really interested in it, so don't want to bother downloading.
Could somebody confirm if it's free for a limited time or if you can only play it for about a month?

A bunch more android games were listed on GoG's forum. I'm just aggregating stuff from a half a dozen different places, I rarely find anything on my own.

This week on Epic, Cris Tales.
Finally an RPG, only the second I recall since the Pathfinder on Christmas. The tag line reminds me of Chronotrigger, but I won't get to try it until tonight.
