In addition to a new #1 game on the platform, Steam now has a new free game as well. Valve’s storefront is undoubtedly among the best and most widely used in the entire video game industry; in fact, it’s where indie games live and die. Because of this, there are always opportunities for good deals and sometimes even free games — but the caveat is that they’re usually available for such a short amount of time. And this time is no different. A new game is now available for 24 hours (until August 29th).
Right now, Steam is giving away a free game called Dead in Bermuda, a survival management game with both RPG and adventure elements. It was released back in 2015 by developer and publisher Ishtar Games. For those that do not recognize either of these names, the latter is the studio responsible for Lakeburg Legacies, The Last Spell, and Dead in Vinland. Dead in Bermuda was its first release and a decent debut at that, as evident by the 71% approval rating on Steam.
What Dead in Bermuda Is About
As previously mentioned, Dead in Bermuda is a survival management game where players lead a crew of eight survivors after a plane crash on a mysterious island. The mission is to keep the survivors alive and solve a mystery involving a “ancient atlantean prophecy.” To do this, you will assign your survivors tasks, who in turn will develop different survival skills. In addition to this, you will will research and craft new items to improve your camp and explore the island for resources to fuel your camp.
Steam user reviews notably praise the game’s presentation and concept; however, the gameplay loop is often described as being obtuse and unbalanced. Overall, it should take you about 10 hours to complete, though note that users have said there’s little replayability with this title.
Dead in Bermuda’s Steam Deck Compatibility
Those on Steam Deck interested in checking out Dead in Bermuda may run into issues or may not. We do not know because Steam Deck compatibility is listed as “Unknown.” Meanwhile, there are an insufficient number of user reviews that mention Steam Deck to draw any conclusions this way. That said, there is no harm in finding out because the PC game is free. And if isn’t compatible with Steam Deck, the good news is there are plenty of other new Steam Deck games to check out.
That said, and as always, feel free to leave a comment letting us know what you think. Will you be checking out this new free Steam game or skipping it in favor of playing something else?
