PC gamers who are fans of horror games such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill might want to claim and download this free game before it’s too late.
If you’re looking for a fun horror game to give you the chills down your spine this week, but might be short of cash, with it being a week or so from your monthly pay, then this free game might be worth your attention.
When gamers think of the horror genre in the video game industry, two names that will likely come to mind are the aforementioned Resident Evil and Silent Hill. However, there are plenty of other fantastic horror games to check out, outside of those franchises, especially when it comes to what’s offered by the indie community.
From Darkwood, Visage, Signalis, and Amnesia: The Dark Decent, to name a few, the indie gaming scene is never short of serving up a plethora of horrific delights to scare us into the night.
As brought to our attention by Twitter user Wario64, right now, courtesy of the PC platform, GOG, you can download and keep The Whispering Valley for free. However, this horror game is not free forever, so you might want to claim it now before you miss out.

“Explore a remote village and solve complex puzzles in The Whispering Valley, a folk horror point & click game. Delve into guilt and depression to investigate the village's deepest secret,” reads the synopsis of the game developed and published by Studio Chien d'Or.
After watching the trailer, while The Whispering Valley would be a treat for Resident Evil and Silent Hill fans, I can’t help but get vibes of Amnesia: The Dark Descent meets What Remains of Edith Finch.
On GOG, The Whispering Valley is rated 3.9/5 from eight user reviews. As for Steam, it's got a rating of “Very Positive” from 157 user reviews. Oddly, this game has no score on the aggregate website, Metacritic.
That being said, when considering both ratings from GOG and Steam, it gives the impression that The Whispering Valley, at the very least, is a decent horror game. Plus, it’s totally free.
You only have until Tuesday, 28 April 2026, to claim The Whispering Valley for free. After that, it will return to its RRP of £9.99/$11.99.
It’s also worth mentioning that, unlike Steam, games purchased on GOG (even for free) are DRM-free. This basically means that you’ll own the install file and you can play it on multiple devices without restrictions or an online connection.
So, what are you waiting for? Go claim The Whispering Valley for free!
