Re: Free steam games? @Dark Correct. As far as I know, Steam has no machine restriction. You just have to verify each new machine via email, and then you're good to go. I just meant that you can't just take Steam games with you on an USB to somewhere where there's no internet, for example.

Re: Free steam games?
Re: Free steam games? @Mayana, my mistake as regards audio wizards, I remember they mentioned a demo, but it's only for audio magos, the Spanish version of the game.Your correct as far as achievements go for games like code 7 and sequence storm, though of course all of the choice of games and hosted games titles also have achievements in the aps on Ios and Android too. Also, to be fair to Steam, since the games are account based, there is no restriction I think on downloading on another machine so long as you set Steam up and go through your Steam account verification for that machine. I am not sure how many machines you can have the same Steam account on, but I believe it's certainly more than one, though of course it also means extra hassle you wouldn't have with something like Itch.io either, plus the hassle of using Steam itself.

Re: Free steam games? @Dark One advantage Steam does have over other platforms is that it has an achievement system. Many developers unfortunately rely on it instead of building their own -- Code 7 and Alt-Frequencies come to mind -- so if you were to, for example, buy those on itch.io, you'd get slightly less for your money.You would, however, get a DRM-free game that you can take with you anywhere, regardless of if you have internet there, and without logging into anything. So it's a case of what matters more to each individual. And thanks, completely forgot about demos. Those are indeed also free on Steam. But, while Code 7 has a demo long enough to count as a short game, which I would definitely recommend to the OP as I am very biased on the subject, I can't see any option to download a demo on the Audio Wizards page. Are you sure it has one?

Re: Free steam games?
Re: Free steam games? I don't know if any of the free choice of games and hosted games titles are available through Steam, though if you want to play those your probably better off using the website or the Ios or android aps anyway since all of those distribution platforms are far more accessible and far less hassle, and the games will just be the same either way.Ditto for the demo versions of games like code 7 and audio wizards, both of which are more readily available elsewhere.To be honest, Steam itself isn't anything to right home about, it's essentially just a glorified copy protection system with a crappy interface and a centralised web community. The games available through steam aren't really different to the games sold anywhere else, they're made by large and small developers, in different programming languages, using sound or text as needed. The only reason to bother with Steam is because a few accessible games, some like Slay the spire and sequence storm astoundingly good ones, have been sold through it. This is a good thing in general terms, since it means that games like a blind legend and audio wizards will be far more prominently available to the sighted gaming community, and , but in terms of audiogames, due to the stupidity of the interface and Valve, the company that own's Steam's utter disinterest in accessibility, I'd personally only recommend using Steam if there's something you specifically want to buy and play on it.

Re: Free steam games? None that I can think of. Except for occasional discounts, of course. You'd have better luck finding free accessible stuff on itch.io (such as HEARtREAD, Bulwark in the City of Flesh, and probably several visual novels if you are patient with OCR).

Free steam games?
Free steam games? Hi,After hearing about steam here and on other forums for years, I finally got around to installing it to see what's it about. Problem is I can't really buy stuff from where I am, so Curious, are there any free to play games that are accessible and optionally good?Thanks.
