Also that there are more free games available on Epic and IndieGala than get announced.
For Epic, in addition to the obvious "Free games" link they advertise here:
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/free-games
There are more games by clicking on "browse" and selecting "free". You might want to also add additional filters to get rid of the demos.

Similarly with IndieGala, instead of the free games being under "freebies", which is a raffle system, instead it is under "showcase" and there are both "free games" and "showcase.

Challenging, re-playable campaign that tests your strategy and tactics.

Over 70 weapons and items, including frag-cannons, tractor-beams, flamethrowers and nukes.

ConflictCraft 2 - Game of the Year Edition
https://freebies.indiegala.com/conflictcraft-2-game-of-the-year-edition

ConflictCraft 2 - Game of the Year Edition official propaganda said:

ConflictCraft 2 is the sequel to which became surprisingly popular and beloved by nearly 200K players on Steam! For this reason alone we've decided to release a brand new title that's far more compelling and in-depth from a tactical point of view.

It's a strategy game where your goal is to assume direct control over enemy bases shortly before destroying them from the inside. You'll need proper management of your resources, but also leadership skills in order to fully control the opposing forces. Keeping your own bases out of harm's way is paramount. You will be able to diverge half of your available troops for offensive tasks, while the rest must remain staunch defenders. Finding a balance is the key to victory, of course.

Helping you annihilate your foes, you'll have a full arsenal consisting of tanks, helicopters, F-15 Eagle jet fighters and even rocket launchers similar to North Korean designs! After each level you can upgrade your forces as you see fit.

Game Features:

- 53 challenging levels to complete.

- Level Editor allowing complex map customization.

- Large selection of competing nations & factions.

Eternal Threads
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/eternal-threads-197169

Eternal Threads official propaganda said:

Eternal Threads is a single-player, first-person story-driven puzzle game of time manipulation, choice and consequence.
Genres

Adventure

Indie

Puzzle

Features

Single Player

Choose how you want to follow the game’s story
The complete narrative follows the six main characters through multiple decisions across multiple timelines and you can experience these in any way you choose.
You can concentrate on just one particular character’s storyline at a time, following their choices across the timelines and then go back to the start and follow another character.
You can approach the story like a forensic detective, observe the final outcomes of the story and then work backwards along the timeline – essentially observing the effects and then determining their cause.
Or you can just watch things in chronological order, experiencing the timeline unfold as you observe and change the decisions that the characters face as the week progresses.
Watch and change things as many times as you like
Can’t remember exactly what happened in an event? Changed a decision and you’re not sure you like the consequences? That’s fine. Just pop back along the timeline and watch and change whatever you like, whenever you like, as many times as you like.
Change the past to affect the future
Setting up temporary base in the house mere hours after the fire, provides a unique perspective on events. As you look back through the timeline, past events play out in front of you in ghostly form, with the smoke and fire damaged house a constant reminder of what is to come. In addition, as you manipulate the past, the environment can be reset around you to match the changes taking place. Some new objects will appear, others will move around the house and the contents of rooms can change substantially as you change the past.

Something really weird was happening yesterday. The internet was going slow for me. I had a bunch of websites glitching out, then working fine after reloading, and Comcast seemed to be dropping packets from time to time when I tried ping tests when it was going slow.

The Evil Within 2 gives you more options to play your way in a much bigger survival-horror playground than the original. Although a disjointed plot and weak protagonist make it slow to get started, being pursued through an intriguingly bizarre world by plentiful and disturbing monsters kept my palms sweaty and my heart in my throat thanks to a strict adherence to the most important survival horror rule: you should always be on the back foot.

Choices that directly influence the development of the character and the story's ending.

More than 30 characters, including new faces and old favorites, each with their own story.

GoG is giving away "The Whisperer"
https://www.gog.com/game/the_whisperer?pp=632667547e7cd3e0466547863e1207a8c0c0c549

The Whisperer official propaganda said:

Investigate an abandoned trading post, explore its surroundings and solve the terrible mystery it holds. The Whisperer (Le Murmureur) is a short story-driven point & click game set in Lower Canada at the beginning of the 19th century.

Lower Canada, 1814. A trading post in a remote valley is found abandoned. The two winterers who inhabited it have disappeared. Robert, a voyageur of the North West Company, is tasked in investigating their disappearance. To find the truth, he will have to face horrors of all kinds...

Inspired by games such as Scratches and The Dark Eye, The Whisperer is an ode to the classic horror point & click subgenre. You will find the old school adventure features that we all love: puzzle solving, exploring, inventory, using and combining objects.

The Whisperer is a standalone game, but it also serves as a prelude to The Whispering Valley (2022). It is around 45 minutes long.

Hardly an A-rated week.

IndieGala has been giving away "Zombie Smasher" since right before Halloween, but I confused it with "Zombie Killer Machine" because they are somewhat similar in broad strokes concepts so didn't post. I didn't realize until I checked this page:

that they were two different games. Here's the link:

The Zombie Smasher

The Zombie Smasher official propaganda said:

Description
Prepare yourself for a heart-pounding, post-apocalyptic adventure in a world overrun by hordes of ravenous zombies.

As the last remaining human survivor, the fate of humanity rests on your shoulders, and there's only one way to escape the relentless onslaught of the undead: by taking control of powerful post-apocalyptic vehicles and smashing your way through the nightmarish chaos.

Key Game Features:

- Survival Behind the Wheel: In this intense game of survival, you'll navigate through a world teeming with zombies, relying on your driving skills to stay one step ahead of the relentless horde. Your mission: crush every last zombie in your path.

- Choose Your Weapon: With a selection of 8 unique post-apocalyptic vehicles at your disposal, each equipped with its own set of deadly tools, you can customize your playstyle and decide how you want to be the ultimate Zombie Smasher. From armored trucks to souped-up muscle cars, every vehicle is a weapon of destruction.

- Upgrade and Dominate: The upgrade system lets you fine-tune your vehicle, turning it into a zombie-crushing machine. Enhance your engine, fortify your armor, and install devastating weaponry to maximize your chances of survival.

- Epic Journey Across 15 Levels: Immerse yourself in the post-apocalyptic world across 15 action-packed levels, each with its own unique challenges and zombie threats. Discover new terrain, confront different types of zombies, and adapt your strategy to each environment.

- Explore 4 Distinct Maps: Traverse through four diverse post-apocalyptic landscapes, each with its own atmospheric setting, from desolate city streets to eerie, fog-covered forests. The variety in maps keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting.

In The Zombie Smasher, it's a race against time as you navigate through the chaos of a world consumed by the undead.

Do you have what it takes to be the last human standing and escape the clutches of the zombie apocalypse?

It's time to rev your engines, gear up, and prepare for an epic showdown in a world where only the strongest will survive.

Nomad Survival is an auto-attacking, wave clearing, time-based Roguelite, where you can expect to become stronger as you play through each run as you upgrade your stats. The gameplay involves waves of enemies from all angles coming to defeat you, with each minute changing what types of enemies may be coming and how they behave in a predictable fashion. You control the movement of your Character, automatically using abilities available to you to defeat your foes, acquiring new abilities (or leveling up old ones) whenever you acquire enough experience to level up.

You can have as many abilities as you want, with each non-passive ability granting bonus effects at levels 5 and 10 (10 being the max level an ability can be).

Each Character boasts a different style of play through Weapon Skills, which is the special innate ability each Character starts with that is exclusive to them and improves over time naturally. Characters can then be given a Heritage, which further changes how the game is played. The Nomad Heritage, for example, offers the player an additional reroll on level up, whereas the Poxbringer Heritage converts all of your damage into damage-over-time instead.

While there are only two Maps to be played, each Map is wildly different in more than just the difficulty and density of enemies. Each Map also boasts unique events that complicate the run and keep you on your toes, as well as 4 unique Boss encounters which will require you to adapt your strategy to overcome.

Here's a brief overview of what you can expect when playing Nomad Survival:

3 Unique Characters (4 more which can be unlocked!)

17 Active Abilities and 19 Passive Abilities

1 Heritage (4 more which can be unlocked!) which changes the playstyle of each run.

2 Maps, each with 4 Boss encounters.

Modifiable Game Speed. Play at 150% or even 200% Game Speed!

79 Achievements, some of which unlock new features.

20 Stats to be Upgraded.

The game is all about finding builds that you feel are powerful and fun, while also never making the game too easy to play that it becomes boring. The first Map allows you to enjoy the game and experiment with various stats while taking on unique challenges, whereas the second Map is significantly more difficult and will present a serious challenge to anyone that wants to test their mettle against more serious opponents, events, and Boss enemies.

Feel like the game is too slow? Increase the Game Speed at the Level Selection screen. You can make the game 50% or even 100% faster, for a true test of your skill and reflexes!

This sounds interesting. Not a limited time giveaway, but a fan freeware remake of the NES classic Final Fantasy.
Final Fantasy Renaissance
https://rengames.us/ffr.html

Final Fantasy Renaissance official propaganda said:

Hello! And welcome to the Final Fantasy Renaissance project!

This is a labor of love and a personal-challenge project with absolutely no intention of making any profit whatsoever off of this derivative work from the copyrighted source material. All original audio and image files used in this project were found from various sources on the Internet. I have made some very minor adjustments/improvements to some of these files as needed. Additional image files (such as new character sprites) have been created by me to accommodate additional features/content not present in the original game.

This is not a ROM hack. I have actually recreated the entire game from the ground up using Unity. All of the code for this version of the game was written by me.

Final Fantasy Renaissance (FFR) is intended as a tribute to the original Final Fantasy game released by Square on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990 (US version). There are currently two distinct game modes in FFR. “Classic Mode” and “Renaissance Mode”.

Classic Mode is, first and foremost, intended as a faithful recreation of the original Final Fantasy game…but…with all known bugs fixed (such as spells that never worked before or NPC characters who are invisible or can move through walls).

Renaissance Mode is, essentially, the same core game as Classic Mode, but with a number of new job classes available to choose from, as well as new game mechanics added (such as job-specific abilities usable inside and outside of combat). The new job classes I’ve added are all based on job classes introduced in later games in the Final Fantasy series (such as Evoker, Lancer, Blue Mage, and many more…).

I just saw a warning about reading the TOS for this game carefully, but I haven't downloaded or installed it yet so I can't confirm it myself.

All I'll say is that you should pay very fucking close attention to the ToS you have to click through after you install this thing. It's been a while -- this was years ago -- but I remember installing it, reading through the "agreement" you have to go through to access the game, noping out in five seconds flat after I considered what some of those terms meant, and disappointedly uninstalling it.

I'm currently busy playing other games and haven't downloaded or installed it, so I haven't looked. That and my mother had a minor stroke and now I'm doing most of the Thanksgiving prep work instead of playing games while she recovers because Thanksgiving plans were at her house, first Thanksgiving my family has properly celebrated with a gathering since COVID-19 so we really didn't want to cancel them.

Styx returns in a new stealth adventure![/B]

Hired for a critical mission, explore and master huge open environments as Styx. Assassinate or sneak past enemies – Humans, Elves and Dwarves – but also much more fearsome, colossal creatures.
Experiment with the new array of lethal abilities and weapons in your goblin assassin's arsenal. Spend experience points in assassination, infiltration, magic, to learn new skills and improve abilities. Explore, recover valuable artifacts and ingredients to craft deadly traps and useful items, and create clones of yourself to deceive your enemies!

This version on GOG does not include Co-op features. As a token of apology, we offer the DLC 'Akenash set' as a part of every purchase.

Enhance your gaming experience in Styx: Shards of Darkness! The Akenash Set DLC gives you access to the iconic Akenash Outfit and the Akenash Dagger.

The Akenash Outfit
Here's the one-and-only, classic outfit from Styx's first adventure! Whenever Styx summons a clone, its duration before disappearing is increased.

The Dagger of Akenash
Styx's first dagger. Old yet sturdy, this rusty blade was dragged through miles of infested marshes. This caused it to be covered in all manner of deadly acid. Anyone killed with the Dagger of Akenash will dissolve instantly.

OUT OF THIS WORLD GAMEPLAY
Board the Zephyr as you journey from Earth to the surface of Mars. Traverse and endure its harsh and unforgiving terrain as you quest to discover the secrets left behind by Outward. Use both brains and brawn to overcome mental and physical challenges, find the ARKs, and uncover the motivations of those behind the distress call that brought you here.
A HANDCRAFTED EXPERIENCE
Experience a highly polished and absorbing narrative experience packed with engaging gameplay. Every moment is handcrafted, delivering a suspense-filled, emotion-fuelled narrative alongside music from award-winning composer Sander Van Zanten, state-of-the-art motion capture, stunning graphics and realtime ray traced shadows and reflections, powered by Unreal Engine.

THE RAMP SUPPORTS KEYBOARD INPUT BUT IS BEST PLAYED WITH A CONTROLLER.

Do you crave flow? Do you just want to shred through a halfpipe without all the boring stuff? Say no more, The Ramp is your jam!

YES:

tons of flow

satisfying & unique skateboarding gameplay

easy to learn, hard to master

BUT:

NO unlockable stuff

NO score, NO missions

NO guns, explosions, and helicopters

A quick note from the developer:

When thinking about buying The Ramp, please keep in mind that it is a very small game. Maybe not even a game, but rather a digital toy. It was created by a single developer (hi that’s me, Paul) to scratch a very specific itch.

The Ramp captures the unparalleled feeling of real-life vert skateboarding and that’s pretty much it. There is a lot this game doesn’t feature. What it offers you are the 15 minutes of flow that make a boring day great, at the price of a medium-sized cinnamon pistachio latte to go.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have feedback, questions, or problems with the game. I’ll do my best to get back to you as quickly as possible. Also, let me know if you enjoyed The Ramp because that really makes my day!
