Action-horror game worth $19.99 now free to claim on Steam before going back to paid on Feb 24

If you’re into bizarre horror experiences and roguelike survival games, Golden Light might be worth adding to your Steam library—especially now that it’s completely free for a limited time. Normally priced at $19.99, this "Very Positive" rated game is available to claim at no cost until February 24, 2025, at 11:30 PM.

Developed by Mr. Pink and published by HypeTrain Digital, Golden Light is a surreal first-person horror FPS with rogue-like mechanics. The game is set in a twisted, ever-changing world where everyday objects could turn against you at any moment. You have to explore an unpredictable nightmare filled with grotesque creatures, disorienting environments, and one of the strangest mechanics in horror games—eating weapons to gain abilities. 

Described as a "prop hunt roguelike about meat," the game has a unique style that mushes together psychological horror, dark humor, and stealth elements. Players have to navigate the shifting world while managing limited resources, which makes each run feel fresh. The randomness of enemy placements and level layouts also adds to the tension, making it a fantastic pick for fans of unpredictable horror.

Golden Light originally launched on March 11, 2022, and has since maintained a loyal fan base due to its experimental horror and eerie, well-praised sound design. The SteamDB price history shows that while the game has been discounted multiple times, this is the first time it's being offered completely free to keep.

Now’s the time to grab Golden Light before the offer expires on February 24. Once claimed, the game remains permanently in your Steam library, so there’s no reason not to check it out while it’s free.
