I also have some Steam keys for the four-part Sorcery! series (PC/Mac), adapted from the best-selling gamebook series by Steve Jackson, free to anyone who would like them. There's no catch, I just have a lot of games and wanted to share.

Either reply here or PM me if you would like these, and I'll send you the keys. If you're unfamiliar with Steam/how to activate keys, please let me know, I'm happy to help.

I have a few more Steam keys for some other games which I'll post here as well, but I need to check which ones haven't been given away or used yet.

Description taken from the Steam store pages:

An epic adventure in a land of monsters, traps and magic. Journey across the deadly Shamutanti Hills and through the Cityport of Kharé, home to thieves, corrupt nobles and deadly mutants, as you attempt to recover the Crown of Kings.

This is Parts 1 and 2 of a four-part series.

Virtual Cottage on Steam

I've been using it since last autumn and really like it. There are rain sounds and lofi music which can be toggled on and off, plus a cute little cat!

 

Oh sweet. I've heard a lot of really good things about Sunless Sea, always wanted to try it out.

Consider yourself PM'd

 

Same here. It looks deliciously creepy Another game came out a few years after this one, set in the same universe, called Sunless Skies (not sure if it's a direct sequel though).

 

@CatInASuit Sure, I just need to grab the codes and I'll send them to you
