In an exciting development for PC gamers, GOG has announced the availability of two free games, but with a couple of prerequisites that players must meet. First and foremost, a GOG account is required, which is free to create, similar to accounts on platforms like Epic Games Store or Steam. The second requirement, however, is an Amazon Prime account, which, while not free, boasts a vast subscriber base. This multi-use subscription offers a plethora of benefits, and the inclusion of these two games serves as a delightful bonus for existing members.
Game Offerings
The first title available is Conarium, a Lovecraftian horror game released in 2017 by Stormling Studios and published by Iceberg Interactive. Priced at upon its launch, Conarium has garnered a Metacritic score of 71 and holds a 76% approval rating on Steam from nearly 2,000 user reviews. On GOG, it has received a rating of 3.6 out of 5 stars, albeit from a smaller pool of reviews.
The second offering, WarBreeds, is a strategy game that dates back to 1998. With a GameRankings score of 62%, it may exhibit some outdated mechanics, yet it has found favor among modern gamers, boasting an 84% approval rating on Steam following its re-release in 2023, along with a solid 4 out of 5 stars on GOG.
Conarium
Conarium invites players into a chilling narrative centered around four scientists who dare to push the boundaries of nature. Drawing inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft’s novella, At the Mountains of Madness, the game unfolds in a post-Lovecraftian setting. Players assume the role of Frank Gilman, who awakens in an abandoned Antarctic base, sensing that something has gone horribly awry. The journey involves exploration and survival against ominous entities lurking in the shadows.
WarBreeds
WarBreeds transports players to a distant galaxy, where the once-mighty Empire of Yedda has crumbled under the weight of famine, disease, and brutal wars. In this chaotic aftermath, four former slave clans harness advanced genetic technology to modify their DNA, creating formidable warriors. Players must navigate this new landscape, striving for control and dominance in a world rife with conflict.
The free downloads for these games are expected to go live through Prime Gaming today, although a specific launch time has yet to be disclosed. Additionally, the duration for which these titles will remain available for free download remains uncertain, adding an element of urgency for interested gamers.
