Hi all! It’s been a while since I posted here. I have a bad habit of buying a lot of games in bundles on Humble and Fanatical, and have gathered quite a large amount of game keys that way.

More than I can reasonably play in my life. Especially since I am also still interested in new games coming out ;).

So I had the idea to give something back to this awesome community. A free steam key for everyone (*) who genuinely desires one. Just mention what types of games you like to play and I will try to find one that fits. These are all relatively cheap games, so don’t expect any AAA blockbusters. Please don’t just ask for a game to then resell it, I will not say what game it is so you will have to redeem it to know your gift ;).

(*) I will stop eventually, so we’ll see how long this statement stands ;).

    Hi again!

    If that’s okay (and if still have keys) may I ask one for my sister too? She doesn’t have Lemmy. She likes RPGMaker (or similar) games, it shouldn’t have any explicit content but horror is fine to some degree I think.

    Thanks that’s really nice.

    I like to play open world, strategy, cozy, exploration, problem solving, a lot of things.

    What kind do you like playing?

      As you can see in the amount of games and genres I hovered up last year(s), I am interested in a lot of stuff.

      Mostly interesting, meaningful games which are not too long and have a good narrative or emotional impact. I also love a good puzzle game, as there the emotional impact comes from solving the puzzle and appreciating the design. But also big blockbuster experiences if they are well designed and have a captivating narrative. My favorite games I played this year are:

      • The Last of Us Part I
      • Monument Valley
      • God of War Ragnarok
      • The Case of the Golden Idol (waiting for a price dip on the sequel)
      • Thank Goodness You’re Here!
      • If Found…
      • Outlast
      • Platonic
      • Cocoon
      • The Walking Dead: The Final Season

      These are up my alley too!

      My computer is also a potato so it’s withheld me from buying anything new these days

      Very cool of OP to be doing this!

    Happy holidays, and thanks for the giveaway!

    I love metroidvanias and boomer shooters (who would have guessed?).

    Great initiative.

    Cool idea, and thanks for setting this up!

    I typically most enjoy emotional, narrative experiences. Think Heart of the Woods, To The Moon, In Stars and Time, etc

    Woah, that is very different from all other giveaway approaches.

    I’d like something to play with my 8 year old. We’ve had a lot of fun playing the Untitled Goose game, Pizza Possum, Moving out and Overcooked (the second one, the first was too difficult).

    No worries if nothing fits the bill! Thanks!

    Thanks for offering! Let’s see what you come up with!

    I really enjoyed Hyper Light Drifter but not sure I would be into hardcore soulslikes. I do like roguelites though, I liked playing Wall word. Spelunky was also good.

    Thanks for doing this!

    I like exploration games without a super difficult combat system. I also love puzzle games and farming sims!

    Happy holidays!

    This is an amazing offer.

    I’d take you up on it, but I already have thousands of games in my backlog, so it’d be a waste of a key. But I wanted to let you know I appreciate you doing this for the community!

    Hello, honestly I’ve been in a gaming rut. I’ve been playing Halo MCC with one friend group, and Peak with the other. I’ll take any shooter, open world game, or friend slop multiplayer game.

    I’m broke so a new game to play would hit the spot, thank you so much! I like crafting games, cozy games, and arcadey retro style games, but really I play a bit of everything.

    I started to think of something but…I don’t really need anything. It’s very nice of you to do this for others. Happy holidays
