Throughout the year, Steam is well known for having many sales events. The current one, as of this writing is, the Halloween/horror-themed sale they are calling Steam Scream The Revenge (https://store.steampowered.com/category/scream). The sale event separates pages into categories shown below:
Here are the Steam Scream category links:
Discounted – https://store.steampowered.com/category/scream?tab=21
Discounts up to 95% off regular prices.
Free To Play – https://store.steampowered.com/category/scream?tab=19
Self-explanatory, a lot of horror-themed free games. Beware of microtransactions in some games here.
Steam Deck – https://store.steampowered.com/category/scream?tab=22
If you own a Steam Deck, this is a slick category breakout to peruse.
VR – https://store.steampowered.com/category/scream?tab=12
Horror-themed VR sounds about as atmospheric as could get.
Free Demos – https://store.steampowered.com/category/scream?tab=18
This category and the last one deal with games that either aren’t released yet or are available now with a playable demo.
Upcoming – https://store.steampowered.com/category/scream?tab=20
Games not released yet. Some have release dates, too.
As of this writing, I’ve done a tiny bit of shopping. Capcom is running a Halloween sale (https://store.steampowered.com/developer/capcom/sale/halloween) through Steam concurrently and was able to get the rest of the Mortal Kombat 11 ultimate and Injustice Legendary edition for under $10, so jumped on that.
Otherwise, am still shoppping and open to recommendations from others. With that in mind, what horror/Halloween-themed games in this sale are you interested in? Share in the comments.
