Time-loop shooter leads: Steam officially adds 6 free games to keep forever on November 14
Combat across changing worlds
Kingslayers is a PvPvE and single-player roguelite developed by BortDad and launched earlier this month. Players build and race through a shared run, then face each other in PvP combat; multiple builds and ranks offer room to progress.
Temporal Strike is a time-loop defense shooter in which players and their squad face orcs, boar riders and mechs. Its 38-node upgrade tree unlocks units, while boss waves and time rewinds let players repeat the challenge with permanent upgrades.
Stories with unusual twists
Vanakatu combines puzzle-solving, open-world exploration and battles inspired by Guitar Hero. Players help Van Cat, a duduk player, try to stop his uncle from creating a worldwide dictatorship.
Property Inspection puts players in the role of Inspector 8821-A of Structural Core Services after Unit 47 reports mysterious events. The investigation involves peeling and inspecting stickers left by children, then ticking a box.
A village and an apartment
Townlet places a small medieval village on the desktop taskbar. Files deleted from the computer fall from the sky and become something new for the villagers, while working helps the town grow.
Grandma Left Me A Building is a cozy apartment management sim about restoring a complex inherited from the player’s grandmother. The tasks include finding tenants, collecting rent and upgrading the property, with a guitar-playing elf and a philosophy-lecturing yeti as neighbors.
