A remarkable opportunity has emerged for PC gamers as a popular Steam title, typically priced, is now available for free download until June 2. This limited-time offer allows players to permanently add the game to their Steam library, provided they act swiftly before the deadline. After this date, the game will revert to its standard pricing. Notably, Steam Deck users can also take advantage of this promotion, although it remains uncertain whether they will be able to run the game, as Valve has labeled its compatibility as “Unknown.”
Game Details
The game in question is Moonrise Fall, an atmospheric exploration puzzle game released in 2019 by developer Made From Strings and publisher GrabTheGames. Despite its intriguing premise, the game has flown under the radar, garnering only 25 user reviews to date. However, it boasts an impressive 88% approval rating, earning a “Positive” designation from players.
Narrative and Gameplay
For those unfamiliar with Moonrise Fall, the story follows a young boy who finds himself lost in a mystical forest after a tragic car accident that claims the lives of his parents. In his quest to escape this surreal reality, he must unravel the forest’s mysteries and document its peculiar inhabitants. The journey not only involves discovering the reasons behind his entrapment but also uncovering the identity of his captor.
User reviews reflect a shared appreciation for the game’s immersive world. One player noted, “Nothing in gaming is more precious to me than the ability to explore a beautiful world, preferably one that gradually, in a non-linear fashion, opens up to you by unobtrusively educating you in its internal logic. By that standard, this game is an absolute success for me.”
Another reviewer remarked, “Might not be for everyone, but it certainly has charming appeal when you just wanna chill and uncover the secrets of a cool fictional world.”
This giveaway marks the first time Moonrise Fall has been offered for free on Steam, and it is likely to be a unique opportunity, as such promotions are rarely repeated. While the exact duration of gameplay remains unclear, user feedback suggests an estimated playtime of 5 to 10 hours.
