Steam Users Have Till End of Weekend To Claim Free Horror

Steam users don’t have long to add an excellent indie horror game to their growing backlog, just a few days at most.

In the UK, it’s Good Friday, meaning everyone has the day off work in the build-up to Easter Sunday. A lot of people are going to have Monday off too, so that’s a nice long weekend for a lot of people looking to play some new games.

Steam is, of course, excellent for this as there’s always something new to play, including plenty of freebies to add to your collection.

There are, of course, a lot of horror game fans out there and for those looking to get a little spooky this weekend, we’ve found the perfect freebie for you, but you haven’t got long to grab it.

Face Both Your Fears And Fungi

Depths Of Horror: Mushroom Day is available on Steam for free for a limited time, and it’s an indie horror that deserves your attention.

Described as a “3D first-person adventure and horror game”, it encourages players to jump headfirst into the darkness and face their innermost fears. Exactly what a horror game should do.

Players start their journey in some woodland that looks like it came from the opening to Silent Hill 2, with your character on a quest to pick a bunch of mushrooms, presumably for consumption later on.

The mushroom-picking is cut short by a mysterious cabin, which leads into a “unique cave system” full of enemies and other abstract horrors.

Depths Of Horror: Mushroom Day has a really distinct style to it. It’s reminiscent of the very best horror titles to grace the original PlayStation. Not filled with unnecessary jumpscares, but a genuinely unnerving atmosphere that makes you want to both see more and less at the same time.

If any of that sounds like your cup of tea, you can grab the game yourself for free right now, but you’ve only got the weekend to add it to your Steam library, so act fast.

After 6pm on 6 April, it’ll return to its original price, which isn’t much, but c’mon, who doesn’t want a free game?

Depths Of Horror: Mushroom Day might sound like a bizarre game, and it is, but that’s why you need to play it. You’re not just getting a great game to play over the weekend, you’re also supporting indie developers, which is always a worthy cause.
