I just heard some amazing news! A PC game launching in 2025 is completely free on Steam right now, but you have to act fast. The deal only lasts about six days, ending on May 7th. That means anyone – even those of us playing on the Steam Deck (it’s listed as ‘Playable’ so we’re good to go!) – can download it for absolutely nothing. And get this – it’s the first time this game has ever been given away for free, so I’m definitely grabbing it!
From now until May 7th, PC gamers can download Overcome Your Fears – Caretaker, a psychological horror game, for free. This is the first game released by developer Markuwaaaaa, who also published it themselves. It’s received generally positive feedback on Steam, with a 76% approval rating based on over 100 user reviews.
A “Very Creepy” PC Game
Steam players say this PC game takes about one to two hours to finish. They really like the game’s suspenseful feeling and a surprising plot twist, and some good jump scares are included. The biggest complaint is that it’s quite short.
One user review said, “This fan game of Fears to Fathom was genuinely scary, and the jump scares almost made my heart stop! I’d give it an 8.5 out of 10.” Even though the reviewer doesn’t usually play these types of games, they found this one particularly creepy.
This game feels very similar to others in the horror genre, delivering exactly what you’d expect: a brief but suspenseful experience. It’s a welcome addition to my collection of horror games, and I’m excited to see what the developers create next.
The game puts you in the role of Steve Jackson, a 19-year-old who’s looking after a friend’s house while they’re away. But Steve quickly discovers the house—and the town it’s in—are hiding some unsettling secrets. Gameplay focuses on exploration and interacting with your surroundings, creating a strong sense of atmosphere. It’s a ‘walking simulator’ style game, meaning the focus is on the experience of being in the world rather than fast-paced action.
If you enjoy horror games and games where you simply walk and explore, you’ll probably like this free PC game. However, if those genres aren’t usually your thing, this free Steam game likely won’t change your mind.
