Steam Is Giving Away Moonlighter Free to Keep Until Sunday

Steam listed the shopkeeper dungeon-crawler Moonlighter as free to keep, and the claim window closes Sunday, August 9 at 5 PM UTC. Add it to your library before then and it stays yours for good. Developer Digital Sun set the giveaway to promote its upcoming sequel. Moonlighter mixes action roguelike dungeon runs with running a shop by day, sorting loot and setting prices.

  3. Does a free giveaway make you more likely to buy the sequel?
  4. What is the best game you ever claimed free and actually finished?
