October 27th free games roundup
Pick up a DRM-free dark fantasy tactical RPG on IndieGala alongside a pair of chaotic comedy and Halloween-themed indie games on itch.io.
Three PC games are free to claim and keep right now across IndieGala and itch.io, ranging from a dark fantasy tactical puzzle RPG to a slapstick morning-commute platformer. Here's where to grab them before the offers wrap up.
IndieGala
1. Ancient Evil
Developed by PhoenixFire Games and originally released on Steam in September 2021 for $4.99, Ancient Evil is a top-down tactical RPG mixed with environmental dungeon puzzles. You guide your character through three trap-filled regions, collecting weapons, armor, and potions to outsmart the dungeon guardians rather than brute-forcing every encounter. It's free to claim as a permanent DRM-free download through IndieGala's galaFreebies showcase, though IndieGala doesn't list an exact expiration date and pulls these giveaways without warning.
itch.io
2. Running Late!
Solo developer KrisEike built Running Late! around a simple problem: getting to work on time when the city streets, construction zones, and your own ragdoll physics are working against you. The 3D comedy platformer includes two main stages, a custom level builder for community maps, and 100 hidden B.U.R.P. Beans to track down while sprinting for the clock. The current early access build is free to download and keep forever on itch.io with no end date set, and I'm curious to see how players abuse the level editor while the developer hands out free Steam keys for the eventual full launch to anyone who submits playtest feedback.
3. Wrath of Mynah: Hallow's Island
Created by solo indie developer Blu as a standalone Halloween spin-off to their main RPG, Wrath of Mynah: Hallow's Island puts you in control of Tusk for a bite-sized seasonal adventure. It blends retro turn-based fantasy combat with holiday theming, and it's the right size for a quick October evening session without committing to a 40-hour campaign. The game is permanently free to play and keep on itch.io with no expiration date.
Storefront giveaways and early access promotions can end at any time, so add these to your library soon if any of them catch your eye.
