Steam Drops 9 New Free Games to Keep You Inside Forever

Steam's selection of free games gets better by the day, as more and more developers take the extremely noble step of making their latest efforts available to everyone for no extra cost.

There are so many, in fact, that it can be difficult to know which ones are worth playing, and which new releases have just dropped at no cost to the player.

Over on Twitter, Free Steam Games shared several posts confirming nine new games that you can pick up right now.

Our pick for the most interesting of the bunch is REDSHIFT, a short solo developed psychological narrative horror game that has the very cool mechanic of showing a new layer of reality when the player closes their eyes. With very little time investment required, it's a game that has its own distinct art style and a unique mechanic that should make it worth experiencing at least once.

GodsArena Online is a tiny MMO that echoes some of the earliest efforts in the genre in the mid-late 1990s. It currently sits on overall Mostly Positive reviews and there is more than enough there to give it a go if you're a fan of the genre.

Uncommon App is a narrative-driven simulation that should appeal to the Papers, Please fans amongst you. It puts players in charge of college admissions, with all of the pressure that comes with reviewing individual applications.

Currently in Early Access, Monster War is a clicker game where you'll fight monsters and collect powerful equipment to upgrade your capabilities.

Pixelum is another interesting prospect made in a procedurally generated world, where you can dig, mine, fight and build in a game that claims to have advanced physics beyond most games.

Again developed by a very small team, Scurri is, and bear with us here, an indie game in which you play as a young squirrel who is searching for the means in which to save its family from certain peril. So if squirrels are your thing, then this is the game for you.

Rounding out the offering this time around is TimeLost, a team-based PvP arena fighter with competitive gameplay and precision combat, Ocean's Venus, a point-and-click horror game set aboard a ship with a shady history and Fish Collector: Aquarium Story, a simulator where you run your own aquarium (you can even get mermaids involved if that's your thing).

That's the full round-up of all the new freebies available on Steam, with all of the games above able to be downloaded and kept forever, at no cost.
