Steam Drops 10 Brand-New Free Games You Can Download For February

It is no secret that being a video game enthusiast is quite an expensive hobby and being able to purchase the latest triple-A title is getting harder by the day. With upcoming titles such as Resident Evil Requiem costing a whopping $69.99 USD for just its standard edition, we could all do with some savings and luckily, Steam is the one-stop-shop to achieve just that.

Yes, PC players may spend an eye-watering amount on RAM and GPU, especially with prices ever-increasing, but where they will save money is with Steam, with the PC storefront offering users the chance to get their hands on some free hidden gems.

So whether you are on the lookout for turn-based strategy, psychological horror, or supermarket simulators with a twist, without having to spend a single penny, Steam has you covered. After all, we have already got you up to speed with four free games this month so a few more wouldn't hurt.

10 Trust Me, I Nailed It

Wield a mighty cursor

A turn-based strategy game where you will need to become a skilled video editor in order to turn a screwed-up warrior into a legend. It will be up to you, thanks to a whole lot of editing, to make the warrior turn huge losses into epic wins as you edit, snip, and fake your way to the top.

Developed by Team Afternoon, Trust Me, I Nailed It puts a spin on turn-based strategy by putting you behind the scenes. You may not be wielding a mighty sword and engaging in bloodthirsty battles, but your job will be just as difficult as you control the hero's cursor.

9 D1AL-ogue

Fans of Cyberpunk 2077 will love this one.

In a city where the sun never rises and its inhabitants are broken, D1AL-ogue is a puzzle game which will task players with taking on the role of an android repair technician.

When your customers come to you with broken bodies and hearts, it is up to you to fix them by using the puzzling 'D1AL' but sometimes people need more than fixing, they need a shoulder to cry on and that will also fall on you in the dystopian cyberpunk city.

Developed by CherryPicker, D1AL-ogue puts a unique spin on the cyberpunk genre and yet keeps hold of its very nature by showing its inhabitants true emotions under a neon-soaked setting.

8 Punishing: Gray Raven

Perfect for Neon Genesis Evangelion fans

In this fast-paced, action RPG, players will be in charge of building their very own cyborg army and leading them to battle in a world where a punishing virus and corruption threaten to soak the earth in darkness.

Developed by KURO Games, Punishing: Gray Raven promises real-time 3D battles, a post-apocalyptic setting and the ability to customise your characters with a series of mechanical parts. With a "Mostly Positive" rating on Steam, fans have already been praising its epic soundtrack, punishing boss fights, charismatic characters, and most importantly, its free content.

7 R.A.T.: Human Error - Episode One

A human experiment awaits

In this interactive fiction novel, you will take on the role of a child who finds themselves in a hidden facility deep below the surface following the end of the world. With humanity now scattered and falling victim to a spreading sickness, a new era is about to begin and all you know is that you must escape; your mother awaits.

Developed by CH3RZY, R.A.T.: Human Error - Episode One will chronicle your escape as you wander through the decaying facility, uncovering its secrets and finding hidden passages. As you go, you will meet fellow survivors and learn their stories, but in this rat maze, you will soon learn that there is no turning back and what you find at the end may be too horrific to face.

6 Channel 4 Midnight

A short but impactful transformation

Sometimes you just need a psychological horror game which may not feature Unreal Engine-level graphics but is still designed to scare the hell out of you. That is what you will get with Channel 4 Midnight, a "bite-sized" title about a warward soul who seeks transformation through a sinister ritual.

Lasting for just 15–20 minutes, you will perform a ritual that you found online as you hunker down in a dingy inn. Taken from the Dark Web, this ritual promises to transform you into somebody completely different, so surely it will be fine... right?

Developed by foolkien, Channel 4 Midnight will chill you to the bone in a short, yet impactful session.

5 Melon Man

For fans of melons and suffering

If you like suffering in your video games, then you will want to check out Melon Man, a 2D platformer which puts some of the classics to shame. In an attempt to test both your patience and platforming skills, developer Blomma Games offers a "juicy platformer" as you join Melon Man on his quest to collect all the melons.

As you jump your way across a series of challenging levels, you will have the opportunity to ramp up that difficulty and, with the developer wishing players "good luck", it is clear that you will need it.

With a leaderboard to top and a lot of melons to collect, Melon Man may test your patience, but the reward will most certainly be worth it.

4 Wastelanders

Find a safe haven amonst the last remnants of humanity

When desperation is capable of corrupting the soul more than any alien waste, you will soon discover that survival is ugly in this turn-based strategy and card battler title.

Developed by Studio Lilac, Wastelanders is set in a dystopian reality where you will need to build your very own deck in order to protect humanity's last haven. However, if you wish to hide your true image, they must avert their eyes.

In the desolate wasteland of New Haven, you will awake in the aftermath of your mother's disappearance, and you soon discover that what is out there in the barren land may just be worth exploring.

Featuring hand-drawn pixel art, an immersive narrative, and unique turn-based clashes, it is you and your decks against the last bastions of humanity.

3 Hellmart

Shopping truly is a horrifying experience

In the horror game taking the streaming world by storm, Hellmart is a psychological horror title where Supermarket Simulator meets eldritch terrors. Developed by GAZE IN GAMES, players will take on the role of a lowly shop clerk who must manage Hellmart by working both the day and night shifts.

By day, stack the shelves, deal with customers and keep the store tidy, but at night, you have one rule: do not let them in.

You must find what it takes to survive seven days and seven nights in the horror-filled supermarket where anomalies lurk in the human meat and customers are just desperate to get inside.

If Supermarket Simulator was just too tame for you, may you find all of your virtual job needs in Hellmart.

2 Glassy Stare

A psychological visual novel

As the first story in a collection of visual novels by developer ghostfuneral, Glassy Stare is a story-driven psychological experience "where memory fades, silence deepens, and something waits in the dark".

Inspired by a dark and mysterious world home to intense emotions and vivid imagery, this visual novel blends the abstract with impressive symbolism in order to create a poetic, yet meditative story with no complex mechanics.

Instead, focus on your mood, choices, and most importantly, your interpretation in order to get through a series of challenging scenarios which aim to question everything you think you know about life and what we leave behind.

1 Where We Went

For fans of Journey

In this narrative puzzle adventure, you will take on the role of a mysterious figure who is able to control ancient guardians in order to solve any puzzle which acts as an obstacle on their journey.

Developed by Oddcube Games, Where We Went will see you venture though a mysterious tomb which can only be navigated by the most adept puzzle solvers. With a strange fog creeping through the halls, illegible runes carved over every surface, and towering ancient guardians ready to help you on your way, there may just be more to this tomb than first meets the eye. Luckily, it is up to you to find out.
