Steam Free Promotion Explained
There are several gaming platforms that offer strong free promotions, and Steam is one of them that releases big deals through the Free-to-Keep program.
Steam users have until June 18 to download Red lantern for free and will allow them to keep it in their digital libraries forever. For those unfamiliar, it's a narrative survival game where the survival loop itself enters the narrative in a very unique way. In it, players take on the role of a Musher who gets stuck in the Alaskan wilderness with a team of sled dogs. Players can expect roguelike mechanics with some Telltale-style decision-making, albeit a bit more limited, but the survival and management elements kick in. Players must manage their team of sled dogs – each with their own personality, traits and stories – and mix that with the need to find and keep up with food, supplies, dog stamina and random encounters. It is undoubtedly a unique addition to the Steam Free-to-Keep event.

However, it is worth noting that Red lantern it's also probably one of the easiest survival games on Steam, so anyone wanting a tougher experience might want to check elsewhere. Those looking for a relaxing storytelling experience often love it, describing it as cozy, emotional, and visually beautiful. Critics often highlighted the Alaskan setting, the protagonist, and the game's ability to bond with its canine team. However, players expecting a deeper survival simulator or a hands-on dog sled driving experience were often disappointed.
There are more free games available on Steam right now
Red lantern it's not for everyone, but that's okay because there are currently three more games available as part of the Free-to-Keep event on Steam. In other words, if someone is looking for a free game on Steam, there are sure to be a handful.
