Not free to play for 24 hours, actually free. If you install it you get to keep it. LIMBO is actually a pretty great platformer you all need to try.

A few people messaged me about it and I agree it's worth a quick shout out. Not much to say another than hooray a free game, go check it out.

It has been on Linux for some time now, originally a Wine-port by Codeweavers, it was later turned into a full native port.

Just to clarify, you don't actually have to download it, just click on the "Start game" button on the store page and the game is in your library.

Fully native port by our friend icculus :) I recommend the game as well, it's a little spooky, but very fun!

Nice. Now to find time for it. ^_^

Only the second time I've seen a 100% off game on Steam.

Go and get it while you can - it's a dark but awesome game!

Ah a game about a molested person who is trapped in purgatory.

There should be a "slit your wrists" tag on steam as some media makes you loose faith in humanity.

I wish I could delete this from my library but I can't.

It's some kind of art. It may not be for everyone, but I enjoyed the game the way it is. Do you never ever had nightmares in your life?

It's easy actually since half a year or so. In the Steam client menu (no need for the website support) go to
>Help >Steam support

There select "Games, software, etc." Then type in the name of the game in the search box below. Select the game listed under "PRODUCTS". Then select "I want to permanently remove this game from my account". DONE!

Generally you will be noticed if the game was part of a bundled key/purchase, because it will delete all other bundled games with that *specific* purchase. (Example: Bought Valve Complete, want to delete Portal (why?), that will delete Valve Complete Pack entirely.) But you will have to tick a checkbox and you will be warned about this.

Does it stay in your library? I downloaded some other "free game" once, and I got to keep it, but after I uninstalled it after some, ahem bugs.. yeah, that's it bugs, I didn't still have it in my library.. which kind of sucked..

oh no

my vga not working all black

whyyyyyy???
Stupendous Man Jun 21, 2016
I got this game in a humble bundle a long time ago and played it a few hours. However I find it too dark and creepy for my taste.
rea987 Jun 21, 2016
A great piece of art. I played its horrendously bad WINE port back in the day, yet succesfuly finished regardless. I might give another shot for Steam achievements but I have too many games in my account that I haven't touched yet. But that is a "must have" have, go and get it while it is free of charge.

I thought it was 48 hours?
jordicoma Jun 22, 2016
All thanks icculus. He made the linux port.

I already won the game quite some time ago on SteamGifts, but I do want to recommend it to anyone reading this. It's such a beautiful game, you won't regret playing it. It just works. The atmosphere, the absence of a hud (which is a good thing), the art style, the puzzles... and it also works with a controller, even my no-name dual controllers from China... and not to mention the fact that it works natively on Linux!

Does it have any downsides? I don't know, maybe... it seemed a little short really, but I don't know if it would have been good or not to make it longer... I really enjoyed the game so of course it left me starving for more.

Never deleted a game from my library and I don't think I am going to do it, at least not anytime soon... but I really didn't know about this part, and I thank you for sharing this info.

For me, categories work just fine... I have an "All", "Windows-only", <insert-genre-category-here>, "Junk", "Unplayed", etc... I just put the games I don't need in the Junk category and remove them from all the other ones, this way I still have them in case I need them again (why? idk)
Oh and the Windows-only category its pretty nice because it will be hidden by default and when a game gets ported it will pop up in my library list and I will know... like a notification.
