Steam users don\u2019t have long to add an excellent indie horror game to their growing backlog, just a few days at most.<\/p>\n

In the UK, it\u2019s Good Friday, meaning everyone has the day off work in the build-up to Easter Sunday. A lot of people are going to have Monday off too, so that\u2019s a nice long weekend for a lot of people looking to play some new games.<\/p>\n

Steam<\/a> is, of course, excellent for this as there\u2019s always something new to play, including plenty of freebies<\/a> to add to your collection.<\/p>\n

There are, of course, a lot of horror game fans out there and for those looking to get a little spooky this weekend, we\u2019ve found the perfect freebie for you, but you haven\u2019t got long to grab it.<\/p>\n

Face Both Your Fears And Fungi <\/p>\n

Depths Of Horror: Mushroom Day is available on Steam for free for a limited time, and it\u2019s an indie horror that deserves your attention.<\/p>\n

Described as a \u201c3D first-person adventure and horror game\u201d, it encourages players to jump headfirst into the darkness and face their innermost fears. Exactly what a horror game should do.<\/p>\n

Players start their journey in some woodland that looks like it came from the opening to Silent Hill 2, with your character on a quest to pick a bunch of mushrooms, presumably for consumption later on.<\/p>\n

The mushroom-picking is cut short by a mysterious cabin, which leads into a \u201cunique cave system\u201d full of enemies and other abstract horrors.<\/p>\n

Depths Of Horror: Mushroom Day has a really distinct style to it. It\u2019s reminiscent of the very best horror titles to grace the original PlayStation. Not filled with unnecessary jumpscares, but a genuinely unnerving atmosphere that makes you want to both see more and less at the same time.<\/p>\n

If any of that sounds like your cup of tea, you can grab the game yourself for free right now, but you\u2019ve only got the weekend to add it to your Steam library, so act fast.<\/p>\n

After 6pm on 6 April, it\u2019ll return to its original price, which isn\u2019t much, but c\u2019mon, who doesn\u2019t want a free game?<\/p>\n

Depths Of Horror: Mushroom Day<\/a> might sound like a bizarre game, and it is, but that\u2019s why you need to play it. You\u2019re not just getting a great game to play over the weekend, you\u2019re also supporting indie developers, which is always a worthy cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steam users don\u2019t have long to add an excellent indie horror game to their growing backlog, just a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382029,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27422,61,27423,60,15979,214,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-382028","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-free-games","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-indie-games","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-pc","13":"tag-steam","14":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382028\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
