Steam — 4 New Free-to-Keep Games (Added October 26)
Four new games were added to Steam as permanently free-to-play today — meaning you can download and keep them in your library forever, at no cost.
Dr. Mancell and Mr. Flame — Released October 7, this indie 3D platformer is a musical collaboration between Waterflame (original composer for the Crash Bandicoot soundtrack) and Josh Mancell. The game combines nostalgic PlayStation-era platforming with a unique musical narrative. With colorful, vibrant art and over 100 platform levels spread across themed worlds, each with its own musical identity. The gameplay is accessible, with jumping and collection mechanics that echo classic 3D platformers from the 2000s.

Stolemates — A co-op roguelike for 1–4 players where the goal is to rob a bank filled with deadly traps. Each attempt generates a procedural map with traps, security guards, and hostile NPCs. The game blends strategic movement with irreverent humor, and players can cooperate or betray each other to ensure at least one person escapes with the money. Pixel art and fluid animations give the game a distinctive visual identity.
Wood Watch — Released October 9, this first-person survival horror is set in an abandoned RV deep in the woods — shelter for victims of a supernatural disaster that opened the gates of hell. Each night, the player must monitor security cameras, manage flashlight battery, and repel enemies with varied attack patterns. Surviving a full week reveals the truth behind the catastrophe. Inspired by titles like Five Nights at Freddy's, Wood Watch delivers constant tension with minimal resources — and the free-to-play model makes it essential.
Goliath Rogue — An action roguelike with collectible heroes set in a medieval fantasy world. The game combines persistent city management with procedurally generated battles, offering dozens of playable heroes with unique abilities. Each run reveals new equipment, spells, and secrets. Persistent progression ensures every session contributes to city development, even when the run fails. The game is particularly addictive for roguelike fans who enjoy seeing their progress accumulate over time.
