Steam Users Have Until April 6 to Claim This 2021 Horror Game for Free

Steam users have a limited-time opportunity to claim the 2021 indie horror game Depths of Horror: Mushroom Day completely free. This special promotion is available until April 6, allowing players to add the game to their library and keep it permanently at no cost.

Steam continues to be a go-to platform for PC gamers looking to expand their libraries without spending money. Alongside its vast collection of free-to-play titles, Steam frequently runs “free-to-keep” promotions where paid games are offered for free for a limited time. These deals often spotlight indie developers, giving players a chance to discover hidden gems they might have otherwise missed. While platforms like the Epic Games Store are known for weekly free game giveaways, Steam’s occasional promotions are equally worth watching.

Currently, players can claim Depths of Horror: Mushroom Day, a single-player horror experience developed by TakeThem.Games and released in 2021. The game places players in a mysterious scenario where a simple mushroom-picking trip turns into a terrifying adventure. After discovering an abandoned hut, players find themselves exploring eerie caves filled with unexpected creatures and unsettling surprises.

The game features handcrafted cave systems, frequent in-game events, enemies, jump scares, and multiple achievements to unlock. Despite its simple design, it offers a unique indie horror experience for fans of the genre.

This free offer is only available until April 6. After that, the game will return to its regular price of $4.99. Once added to a Steam account, players can keep the game forever, even if they choose to download and play it later.

The promotion has brought a surge of new reviews. While some players appreciate the game’s atmosphere and easy achievements, others point out its short playtime and occasional frustrating moments. Additionally, the presence of large spiders may not appeal to everyone.

For PC gamers, this is another reminder that building a solid game library doesn’t always require a big budget. Alongside Steam, platforms like the Epic Games Store are also offering free titles, making it easier than ever to access new gaming experiences without spending money.
