Free games for the week thread

If it's just a walking simulator and there's nothing to do, the gamer will get bored and may not explore it again. So a good walking simulator has at least some element of puzzling to it. Or discovering stuff in it.

well, that's called a puzzle game, then. Myst is definitely not a "walking simulator," lol.

as well as a preliminary example of a walking simulator that allow players to explore and discover the game's narrative at their own pace

Is GOG worth having? I already have Steam, Epic Games, EA and Battle.net game launchers.

GOG sells drm free games. You can either use their gaming client (GOG galaxy) to launch one of the games they sell or download and run the game by itself. Their client can also integrate other gaming client's games if you want. With GOG galaxy I could launch a steam game if I wanted.
