[This is a sticky post, it will be visible in every single page of this thread. It has been published in October 2020.]

Our moderation team decided not to take a side in the discussion since this giveaway thread was created by the community and, as long as there are no forum rules violated, is up to you, dear Gogers, to decide its fate. We will not set giveaway rules, edit the OP's post, nor lock the whole thread.

However, to make it easier for newcomers to understand the situation (about the OP being inactive and other), I will stick my own post right above the first one.

You are, of course, free to create new threads to start anew and make your own, clear rules. At the same time, please stay reasonable when crating them, as multiple new duplicates might make it even more confusing for many Gogers.

That being said, here you can find a post with dxenija's community poll to have better understanding of the situation: CLICK.

At the time of writing, open giveaway threads are:
- Massive Giveaways Blog (this one)
- Free (temporary) keys giveaway central topic.
- Updated Itch.io giveaways

Be nice to each other *flies away*

P.S. Sorry for updating my summaries late. For some reasons, GOG forum blacklisted the word earn-ings (without hyphen) and I spent a long time trying to isolate what word was upsetting the filters... My apologies

BlueMooner: I could see them maybe getting upset at mentioning game discounts and sales on others sites, as then people might buy the games there and not from gog. But idbeholdme is just giving a heads up on two free games coming up. Again, this whole thread is about free games. I think it's fine.

Andtha: I'll always be willing to pay the extra bit, if a game actually costs more on GOG at all, for a DRM-free version, which is why I tend to buy games twice: once on GOG, and once wherever it is released first. Or the other way around. For example, I first bought Horizon Zero Dawn from GOG, and the game is so great that I bought it again from Steam when I got my Steam Deck. The game deserves it, it is one of the few I played so so many hours. When Horizon Forbidden West was released on the PC, I got it on Steam first. Had to have it and also Telefonansagen fur Unternehmen convince me to do this, am playing it now. BUT as soon as GOG releases it, I will buy it again, to get it DRM-free.

... which is why IMHO GOG will tolerate us having this freebies discussion. Because they know, we are for the cause: which is clearly DRM-free games, and to support good game makers.

I also bought games I thought deserve the money, even though I didn't find the time to play them (yet). But I have to earn my living, and as long as this includes a full-time job, my spare time is limited. Which doesn't mean I won't support good games... Despite -- or rather because of (!) -- this thread!
Do you know any of telephone related giveaway?

World of Tanks: Starter Pack Key Giveaway (New players only)

high rated
Epic Games:

INDUSTRIA - Link

This week's theme for both games is survival.
INDUSTRIA is another excellent first-person shooter game that World War themed gamers might like.
Despite the graphics are smooth and well-polished in unreal engine, the game begins after the Cold War era.
When the Berlin wall fell, you fell too and plunged into...the future.
Explore the aftermath of Berlin in a dystopian society that are run by humanoids and robots.
But what happened and why are you here?
Who are you? Well, you play as a female, but what is your name?
After searching around, you soon realized you're not the only one who crossed into this parallel universe...
To return home, you must figure out what secrets lies behind the shadows.

Brief description from the storepage:
Industria is a first-person shooter which lets you fight against humanoid robots, therefore, the player frequently shoots robots and machines, but never a living organism.
In a few instances, the player may see human remains, such as skeletons or blood stains in the environment.

Embark on a gripping journey in INDUSTRIA, an atmospheric FPS set in Cold War-era East Berlin. Unravel the secrets of a mysterious parallel dimension while searching for a missing colleague. Explore a haunting reality where the truth awaits. Discover the dark past that lies beyond.

Features single player only!

LISA: The Definitive Edition - Link

This is a mature rated adventure RPG game that is divided into two chapters.
If you love gore and love games with nonsensical horror, this game is for you!
Don't expect graphics because it features pixelated to Microsoft Paint artwork.
Don't let that discourage you if you want some horror and dark humor.
It is choices-matter game and most often you are forced to decide between the bad and the ugly.
It is that type of adventure game that can give you a creepypasta feel, except the game is being serious.
Most of the gameplay relies on a side scroller style.
Reminds me of POSTAL.
Just expect chaos and don't play this at work.

Brief description from the storepage:
Explore Olathe and unmask its twisted secrets with LISA: The Definitive Edition, including the original narrative-driven RPG LISA: The Painful and its sequel LISA: The Joyful.

LISA: The Painful - Definitive Edition is the miserable, hilarious RPG of your wildest nightmares. Undertake a relentless journey through the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Olathe. Beneath its charming exterior is a world full of disgust and moral desolation, where you will learn what kind of person you are by being FORCED to make choices that permanently affect the gameplay. Make sacrifices to keep your party members alive, whether it's taking a beating for them, losing limbs, or some other inhuman torture. In this world, you will learn that being selfish and heartless is the only way to survive...

LISA: The Joyful - Definitive Edition is the soul-twisting conclusion to the quirky side-scrolling RPG series, LISA. Explore Olathe in your quest to punish the world that has treated you wrong. The world’s out to get you… now, get it back.

Features singleplayer only!

Cat Quest II - Link

This week's theme for both games is Cartoonish Fantasy Violence.
Featuring the best game so far into Epic Games' giveaways since 2024.
This week is the most paw-some of all Epic Games Giveaways so far!
I might be biased because all cute cat games get an extra 50 stars out of 5 from me.

Are you looking for a game full of cuteness after playing last week's gory horror games?
Cat Quest 2 is just the eye bleach you need, paws down! Best of all, it's free and full of fluffy catness!
It's a casual magic open world action-RPG adventure game with endless pawsibilities.
Most importantly, this successor features both solo and co-op mode!
Gameplay mostly features an isometric camera view (bird's-eye view on an angle like Magicka).
You can play as a cat and a dog (if possible, a friend who's a dog person can be player 2).
Oh no! The kingdom of cats and dogs are still at war!
But who says dogs and cats can't be friends? (Try not to bash Player 2 with your controller).
Compared to the first game, it has mew skills, mew fun characters, mew challenges!
Even the list of game modes is too long to fit on your screen now!
Cast your spells and catfight against mew monsters!
Explore both cat and dog kingdoms and be mesmerized by beautifully designed maps.
Mew structures have also been added, in which some are aesthetic, and some have new functions.
For our combatant gamers, you're in for a meowtastic surprise!
Mew weapons are added...a meow-ton!
For our Garfield gamers, casually em-bark your own catventure and explore this cute open-world.
No matter if you are a dog or a cat person, an aggressive combatant or a simulator gamer,
You can still enjoy this excellent gem and meow likely game of the year, Cat Quest 2.

Puss in Boots approves this game.

Brief description from the storepage:
Cat Quest 2 is a 2D open-world action-RPG in a fantasy realm of cats and dogs. Sequel to the award-winning original, The game lets you play solo or with a friend, as both a cat and dog! Quest in a world filled with magic, defeat monsters and collect loot in a catventure like never before!

Under threat from a continuing war between the cats of Felingard and the advancing dogs of the Lupus Empire, CAT QUEST II tells the tail of two kings, brought together against their will, on a journey of paw-some discovery to reclaim their thrones.

Features single player and co-op!

Orcs Must Die! 3 - Link

This is the third entry of the famous Orcs Must Die! series.
It is an action strategy tower defense game that also has cartoonish violence.
But this game is not cute and does have a little blood and gore.
It features numerous different war machines and traps for you to mow down armies of orcs.
Defend your castle by killing orcs in numerous ways from slicing to burning.
Do you want mayhem and firepower? This game has it all!
Compared to previous games, it has new weapons and modes.
Graphics look smoother. New war scenarios are added for players to practice on the battlefield.
Or try your hand with challenging modes and see how long you can survive.
Just don't show this game to Shrek.

Brief description from the storepage:
Slice, burn, toss, zap, grind and gib massive hordes of repugnant orcs in this long-awaited successor to the award-winning Orcs Must Die! series.

Orcs Must Die! 3 ushers orc-slaying mayhem to a previously unimaginable scale. Solo, or 2 player co-op, arm yourself with a massive arsenal of traps and weapons. Slice, burn, toss and zap hordes of repugnant orcs in this long-awaited successor to the award-winning series.
