Steam's Latest Free Game Is a 10/10 Adventure That Won't Hurt Your Backlog

If you’re on the lookout for a free game with a perfect review score and a banging soundtrack, you’ve come to the right place.

DJ Bunny has landed on PC storefront Steam from indie developer Alison Loke Mern Nyee, and this 2D music puzzle adventure is dazzling players.

Players assume the role of DJ Bunny, “an aspiring DJ who leaves home to start her journey to Kelody Lane where the legendary Hippity Hop Music Festival is taking place”.

“With dreams of performing at the festival, DJ Bunny meets the townsfolk of Kelody Lane who request music tracks from her,” the synopsis reads.

“By solving musical puzzles, you'll help her craft tracks that will lead her to play at bigger venues, bringing her a step closer to the big stage all while pushing against her mom's doubts.”

The game describes itself as a “light hearted, narrative-driven puzzle adventure about music, dreams, and a rabbit with big ambitions”.

It boasts a gorgeous brightly coloured animated art style that’ll cheer up the dreariest of winter days.

I’m all for any game that refers to itself as “a little silly”.

“At its heart, it’s about making connections with people who share the mutual love of music,” the synopsis continues.

“You’ll meet townsfolk with song requests, each one leading you into a grid-based challenge where music and logic blend together.

“Piece by piece, beat by beat, Bunny builds the tracks that carry her closer to her ultimate goal, playing on stage at the Hippity Hop Music Festival.”

As you’ve likely picked up, DJ Bunny combines point-and-click segments with grid-based puzzles, plus there are multiple endings you can unlock.

After all, it’s not guaranteed that Bunny will achieve her dreams.

100% Reviews From Players, Complete In an Hour

Judging by the reviews, it looks as if you should be able to complete this one in under an hour, so it shouldn’t add to your backlog.

Plus, how can you turn down a free game that has a perfect score of 100% from users on Steam?

“Great art and music. Fun and cosy puzzles,” wrote one happy player.

“Wowzers. Really really fun with engaging puzzles. The art, music and animations were all genuinely superb. Would love a longer game because I loved this,” added another.

“Cute game with a fab soundtrack that grows stem by stem as you solve each puzzle (which are satisfyingly tricky by the end of the game),” read one more review. You get the idea.

If DJ Bunny doesn’t appeal to you, don’t forget that Steam Next Fest kicks off today, bringing with it hundreds of free demos for you to sample across the next week.
