Friday Freebies Club

[Nick Calandra]

Hey all,


There's a column at OnlySP (Only Single Player - part of The Escapist now) that you guys would probably be interested in called Friday Freebies Club. Each week the author finds a free game to try and reports back on it. Figured it'd be of interest here.

They need to do the White Chamber. No list of free games is complete without delving into its awesome point and click horror.

So we're officially merging OnlySP into The Escapist this week and we've brought over the full Friday Freebies column.

Here's the first entry on a free timeloop horror game on Steam called, We Went Back. Looks pretty god

We Went Back Is a Terrifying Time Loop You Can Experience for Free

We Went Back from Dead Thread Games is a free horror walking simulator with puzzles to solve over its brisk hour-long length. Well worth the price tag!

Can never complain about free games, big ups!

Just finished playing We Went Back. Basically PT in space. Pretty short, but sometimes you just want something bite sized. I like that it doesn't explain too much. Telling too much is all too often the bane of horror. Tho this actually doesn't explain much of anything at all. Still, it's alright overall, aside from framerate regularly going down the drain when there's a lot of effects onscreen. I'm guessing this was made in Unity and the devs are unexperienced at it, since very uneven performance is very common in freshman efforts using that engine.
