100% free - The Leviathan's Fantasy (on Steam)

This is is totally free right now, but claiming it is in a morally grey area. It’s also not as simple as adding it to your library, I’ll explain how in a sec, though. Anyway, since I figured since it is being shared everywhere, I might as well share it here also.

[The Leviathan’s Fantasy] is a Simulation game. You will manage your cloud city, recruit adventurers all over the world, take them for exploration, obtain resources and blueprints. Construct buildings, make equipment, produce items, so to develop your city into greatness together with your adventurers.

I think they want to hide the option somewhat from new customers? Basically the drama with this game is their account got banned for I think steam review manipulation, and they had to re-list the game, which means a ton of people are pissed at them because they spend $30 on an early access game that’s been abandoned for an identical version that they then need to re-purchase.

So instead of trying to chase everyone up, I think they’re just making it free for anyone who still cares enough about the game to go digging in the community posts for instructions on how to redeem it?

Anyway, to claim it, all you have to do is

Add the game to your wishlist
Open your wishlist in Steam, and next to the game will be ‘add to library’
Click that, and its done!

…is the game good? Doesn’t look like it, but I know a lot of you here enjoy claiming games regardless.
