Steam Users Get Free Horror Game for Halloween

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a rush of nostalgia when I hear about Unloved, the free horror game available on Steam this Halloween. Having cut my teeth on DOOM back in the day, I’m always on the lookout for games that harken back to those glory days. The fact that Unloved was born from an award-winning mod for DOOM 2 makes it even more intriguing.

This Halloween season, Steam users are being given a chilling, complimentary horror game! However, remember that the chance to grab it without spending a dime is quite limited. The deadline for claiming this freebie is November 1, precisely at 1:00 pm in your local timezone. After this date, the offer will cease and the game will return to its regular price.

If you’re one of the Steam Deck users eager to explore the free Steam game, you might face some hurdles due to its current Steam listing status. The compatibility with Steam Deck is labeled as “Unknown,” which doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t work on the Steam Deck. If it wasn’t compatible at all, the label would read “Unsupported.” Instead, this indicates that Valve hasn’t conducted or finalized its Steam Deck compatibility testing yet. This means the game might not run, may run poorly, or could potentially run smoothly on the device.

Regarding the free Steam game at hand, it was initially launched by Blue Eagle Productions in 2016. The title is “Unloved,” a throwback shooter that combines elements of horror. If you’re a fan of classic DOOM games, this one might pique your interest because it stemmed from an acclaimed mod for DOOM 2.

According to its Steam description, ‘Unloved’ is derived from a popular community-awarded mod for DOOM 2 created by the same artist. This game presents a chilling environment: a twisted world, a living nightmare filled with malevolent demons and grotesque creatures whose sole purpose is your destruction. You are unwelcome here, and there seems to be no escape. The only path available is the elevator that descends deeper into the abyss of your madness.

In this game, you can choose to play solo or with a group of up to four friends. Each time you start, the subterranean levels are arranged in a unique manner. Collaborate with your team, discover hidden areas, acquire weapon enhancements, tackle individual obstacles, fulfill stage objectives, and uncover new abilities to help you navigate this journey into the unknown.

For those intrigued by Unloved since it’s now free on Steam, you’ll be pleased to learn that it has garnered generally favorable reviews from users. On Steam, the game boasts 1,277 user reviews, with around 76% of them being positive. This equates to a “Mostly Positive” rating. However, it’s important to note that its current free status might have skewed these numbers somewhat. When considering only the most recent reviews, the game has a 67% approval rating from users. In essence, its score seems to have been slightly affected negatively rather than positively by being offered for free.
