April 17th free games roundup
Grab seven free games across Steam, the Epic Games Store, itch.io, and iOS before these limited-time offers expire.
I love a good freebie, and today we have a massive batch of games to claim across almost every major platform. Let's get right into what you can add to your library right now.
Steam
Uncanny Tales: Cold Road is an episodic psychological horror game where you crash your car in a snowstorm and take shelter in a very unwelcoming house. It is free to claim on Steam until April 20. I really appreciate that the horror here comes from unsettling people rather than supernatural monsters.
NineHells is a first-person horror adventure that feels like walking through a virtual haunted house. You have until April 20 to grab this one on Steam. It leans heavily into early 2000s puzzle mechanics and atmospheric tension.
Legend of Keepers: Career of a Dungeon Manager flips the usual roguelite script by putting you in charge of defending the dungeon from pesky heroes. It is free on Steam until April 23. I love setting up traps and managing my monstrous employees to crush anyone who tries to steal the company treasure.
Stickman Killing Zombie is a straightforward, retro-style 3D hack-and-slash where you chop through hordes of undead stick figures. You can add it to your Steam library for free until April 19. It is a simple arcade experience that reminds me of the classic flash games I used to play.
Epic Games Store
The Stone of Madness is a gorgeous real-time tactical stealth game set in an 18th-century Spanish monastery. You control five prisoners with unique traumas and phobias as they try to escape the asylum. It is free on the Epic Games Store until April 23.
itch.io
Starfish ROOM is a fast-paced, pixel-art action roguelite where you defend a starfish-shaped arena from alien hordes. It is available for free on itch.io right now. The developer recently updated it with a new UI and faster combat.
iOS
Word & Logic Mini Puzzle Games is a massive collection of brain teasers like crosswords, Sudoku, and word searches. It normally costs $3.99 but is currently free on the App Store for a limited time. I like keeping an app like this on my phone for quick mental workouts during my commute.
