Free game of the day

There’s another stealthy giveaway by GOG: The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav. About 2 days left as of now.

This has one of my most favorite puzzles ever, the three “impossible” tasks in the Faerie Realm. Mild spoiler: the laws of nature behave differently there, making for some excellent moon logic :slight_smile:.

And, of course, it’s set in the wonderful, low fantasy, The Dark Eye universe (no prior knowledge required), so highly recommended!

The game is excellent, though it’s light on gameplay and heavy on story. Looks pretty, too!

F1 Manager 2024 free on Epic till tomorrow (20th). I guess far from the tastes of the average IF connoisseur, but I bet there is at least a fan of the F1 circus around here. Good reviews: excellent graphics, but fans annoyed about a decay in quality with respect to previous editions.

Amerzone, early work of the genius Benoît Sokal, is free on Steam. Any lover of adventure games should already have it in their collection, but if not, this is a good occasion to fill the gap!

Chuchel is really cute.

Botanicula looks great but iirc I was slightly less taken with the gameplay.
