Appleton the aging proprietor of a small dockside eatery that's famous for aspecial sauce that covers all of the items on the menu now any furtherdiscussion on this would be super spoilery so I'll leave it there thepuzzles however armed overly taxing and the short journey comes with adelightful payoff at the end I'd have happily paid good money for the supperand the fact it's usually free and there isn't a promo as to me at least amystery you can pick up the supper on Steam or via chayo number six andcaveated with many a warning now if by some chance you haven't heard of it DokiDoki litterateur Club is nothing like this trailer which suggests sure itlooks like a dating sim although this free-to-play game is one of the mostvisceral psychological horror games I've seen in the past couple of years andwhile it takes a little while to get going it's writing in places isgenuinely terrifying in all honesty heed the warnings you'represented with at the start of the game if you do pick this one up as it has areal ability to mess with your head while it does use traditional horrortechniques its jump scares and when the twist comes though it totally shifts theneedle on the perception you have as a player in terms of your ability tocontrol what's going on within the game or where things might end up as I keepsaying this is in place as a genuinely frightening experience that some of youmay enjoy or they're pleased as I've already said heed the warnings asthey're not messing about up next in at number 5 another super short game thatdoes way more in its time than you might reasonably expect given how it looksit's also somewhat of a refreshing step change from the previous game and hasyou yes looking for thirty six apples within an orchard you'll get the mostout of this 30 or so a minute bite-sized adventure if you explore the secretpaths and hidden areas of the orchard this is a half pint size of lovelinessit's free on Steam and itchy oh and in the latter you're able to pay for thiswhat you wish moving on in at number four we have thefree to play prologue to unbound worlds apartnow this launched towards the end of March and just look at it it's gorgeousand I dearly love how all the hand-drawn artwork kind of looks and the charactersand backgrounds are exquisite the story is another cracker at play with the demogiving a really great insight into what's going on with it offering plentygameplay to experience where the games going with its metroidvania elementsmuch of the charm comes from the puzzle sections where like dark it uses inversephysics to change how you might need to interact with the environments and likeall games of this type you may not be able to solve things first time roundwhen you come across a given puzzle although once you've upgraded yourskillset you may very well be able to do so so yes if you're looking forsomething that's stunning to look at as a decent combat and challenging puzzlesthen go pick up the prologue to unbound worlds apart which can be found on Steamwith the full launch expected pretty soon coming next at number three andfrom the studio here in the Netherlands that brought us nuclear throne andluftrausers super crate box is free to pick up right now on Steam it's allreasonably simple enough in as much as you have a single screen shooter enemiesfall from above and then move along the platforms before dropping into the pitat the bottom of the screen and having done so well they come back at you againin a slightly more moody mood naturally enough you're looking to blast thesecritters away also while collecting the crates that drop at random times whichreplace your weapon with sometimes something useful or sometimes not souseful which means you're constantly having to adjust the play style to matchI often say possibly too much that I like my games fast and frantic and yessuper crate box hits that high note exceptionally and what's more thisgame's over 10 years old and it still feels super fresh with it recentlyhaving been ported onto the switch now this one is truly excellent and rightnow well it's free as with all the other games here you can find a link to thisdown in the description that number 2 and free to play via the officialwebsite spelunky is one of the best baroque type of games evermade I simply adore it and while I'm so excited there is a sequel on the way atsome point I honestly do come back and play the original from time to timepretty much without fail I'll have a great time of doing so with theprocedurally generated levels just giving huge amounts of replay even afterall this time let's let's not forget this game first came out in 2008 and itwas arguably no well definitely way ahead of its time it's also still asfunny today as it was back then and manages to do funny in a video game aswell if not better than many others I just I just still adore this game andwhile I penned this little script there's only one free game you can getright now I'd rather recommend the number one free game as this video airsI would advocate above all of the others in this list well that would be theawesome Adventures of Captain Spirit with it being a little chaser for thegame you may already know as life is strange – albeit with a story abouteveryday tragedy so kind of like the same as life is strange to hear you playas Chris a boy whose imagination gives him imaginary powers such as superstrength super bravery and telekinesis which may or may not be imaginary so whyis this here at number one well it's not perfect there are scenes touching onAlcoholism that are in places heavy-handed and overdone and in certainsections the voice acting now and again goes a little bit dry although what itdoes really so really well is tell a highly emotive tale that's so verymemorable unable to punch you right in the gut and at times particularly in thefirst couple of hours managed to get an emotional rise out of me that's longlasting and even today some two and a half years since I first played it I caneasily put myself back into that same state of feeling so yes the awesomeAdventures of Captain spirit is superb and it's free right now via Steam sothere we go that's it please let me know what you think of these selections downin the comments don't forget to tickle that like button and subscribe to thechannel with almost
