10 Free Steam Games For Those Not Playing Silksong

The weekend may be over and September may be full of incredible AAA releases but if you are still on the lookout for some underrated gems, this list is bound to offer something for you.

September is the month of titles such Cronos: The New Dawn, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Silent Hill f and many more but it is also a month that welcomes plenty of incredible indie titles you should not be missing out on.

All available on Steam for absolutely free, these titles are all available to try out ahead of their full launch.

So if you are looking to add to your never-ending wishlist or just pick up a quick and underrated gem throughout the month, check out my recommendations.

First up is DOSMIC, a cinematic puzzle-adventure game set in a world consumed by darkness.

Players will take on the role of a boy who must embark on a perilous journey to rescue a young girl. However, with cosmic horrors to face at every turn, he will have to use his wit to unravel ancient mysteries in a beautiful tale of despair and hope.

Those wanting the chaos of a rogue-like but with a twist can check out Goblin Sushi.

In this rogue-like restaurant simulation title, players will play as a goblin who has always dreamed of opening up his own sushi restaurant.

Now his dream has come true and players will be able to run and upgrade the restaurant, serve hungry customers and feed your fellow goblins the most delicious sushi ever.

Old Cake Factory

To continue with the simulation trend, Carefully Stamped is an adorable job simulator where players will get to become a postcard designer.

Craft and sell charming postcards to your customers and express your creativity as you work to make each one unique. Send notes, meet customers and build your business all in this cosy title.

Ok, let’s break up these cute games with a little horror in the shape of House of Empty Names.

If you have ever wondered what it’s like to lose a kidney, then this horror game is about to tell you as you awake on a cold floor missing one of your organs.

Now in an unknown house, you will have to race to escape before the surgeon comes back but with every decision having an impact, will you have what it takes to get out?

Never mind, we are back to the simulation games and this time we are breaking into the boba market with Boba Cafe Simulator.

Set up a boba shop to rule them all as you and friends can build your very own empire.

Choose your tea base, add toppings, adjust sugar and ice levels and most importantly, all those bubbles as you embark on a strategic business adventure.

Now it’s one for the anime fans as 13Z: The Zodiac Trials offers everything you would expect from an action roguelike with an anime artstyle.

In this hack-and-slash RPG, players will embark on a mission to become the 13th Zodiac. To do this, they must take on a celestial trial which requires grit, speed and power but will you have what it takes to stand out amongst the rest?

Smoking Cartridge

Fans of 2024’s Metroidvania Animal Well will love Deepest Well. See what I did there?

In this roguelike/deck-building adventure, players will have to fight off waves of enemies in a descending well surrounded in destructible terrain.

With upgrades available after each run, you will slowly grow stronger and even become strong enough to break the game…

If you enjoy a puzzle game and mourn the NYT Mini Crossword being paywalled recently (I am projecting), then you may want to check out Her Trees.

In this unique point-and-click puzzle game, you will be tasked with moving and combining objects in order to solve a series of handcrafted puzzles.

With an eerie feel to the puzzles you solve, this relaxing adventure definitely comes with a twist.

Now it’s time to try and escape with the help of friends courtesy of Escape Protocol.

In this co-op horror game, you must team up with others to escape an unknown realm where reality is shattered and dimensions collide. No big deal.

As you solve puzzles and avoid deadly entities, you will also have to figure out who amongst you is the saboteur.

Prepare to lose some friends in the process.

Last but by no means least is Monsters are Coming! Rock and Road.

With the demo already boasting a ‘very positive’ rating on Steam, you will not want to miss out on this tower-survivor roguelite.

Protect an ever-moving city from unrelenting hordes as you gather resources, fortify defenses and progress through the ranks. But will you have what it takes to finally reach the Arch?

All of these titles and more are now free to download and try out on Steam for PC gamers.
