Stories Untold
Grab itSteam Deck: UnsupportedLowest Steam price everRuns on older PCs
Steam: $0.99 (90% off) · regular price $9.99 · 85% positive Steam reviews (3,302) · ends Nov 9, 1:00 PM ET
What it is: Stories Untold is a horror anthology of four short episodes, each built around old 1980s tech and its own way of playing. You type commands into a glowing text adventure, run odd experiments in a lab, and tune in to radio signals while the stories slowly link up into something darker. An 80s-style synth soundtrack and retro look tie the four stories together.
What players say: The creepy atmosphere, sharp writing and the way the separate episodes tie together at the end win most people over. The common gripe is the text parser, which sometimes makes you guess the exact command the game wants.
Good to know: The first episode, The House Abandon, is available as a free demo, so you can try it before buying.
Worth buying? Fans of slow-burn psychological horror and retro computer nostalgia will get a lot out of it, but skip it if guessing exact text commands drives you up the wall.
Pathologic Classic HD
Grab itSteam Deck: VerifiedLowest Steam price everRuns on older PCs
Steam: $1.29 (90% off) · regular price $12.99 · 87% positive Steam reviews (1,882) · ended Nov 2, 1:00 PM ET
What it is: Pathologic Classic HD is a first-person survival horror RPG set in an eerie steppe town gripped by a deadly plague. You play one of three outsiders who arrive hoping to find a cure, each following a separate path through the town. The town, an old drover settlement built around a huge abattoir, has grown its own odd social order over generations.
What players say: Reviewers praise the oppressive atmosphere, the bizarre town and its storytelling, even when they admit it wore them down. The most common complaint is the deliberately hostile, dated design, including long stretches of walking across the map.
Worth buying? Patient players who value mood and story over comfort should jump in, but skip it if you want smooth, modern gameplay.
Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse
Grab itSteam Deck: PlayableLowest Steam price in a year
Steam: $1.99 (90% off) · regular price $19.99 · 89% positive Steam reviews (1,809) · ended Nov 2, 1:00 PM ET
What it is: In this third-person action game you are Stubbs, a zombie shambling through Punchbowl, a retro-futuristic 1950s town. You eat brains to turn citizens into a growing undead horde, toss your own guts as grenades and take over people by clamping your severed hand to their heads. It plays the zombie apocalypse for laughs, with you as the villain.
What players say: Turning crowds of enemies into your zombie army is the highlight, along with the silly humor and how well this remaster of the old Xbox game holds up. The negative reviews point to forced minigames like a dance sequence, a missing original soundtrack and crashes.
Good to know: A second player can join as Grubbs in local co-op on the same screen.
Worth buying? A great fit for anyone who likes goofy villain power trips and cartoonish zombie mayhem.
Slayaway Camp
Grab itSteam Deck: PlayableLowest Steam price in a yearRuns on older PCs
Steam: $1.34 (85% off) · regular price $8.99 · 95% positive Steam reviews (716) · ended Nov 2, 1:00 PM ET
What it is: Slayaway Camp is a sliding block puzzle game dressed up as an 80s slasher movie. You guide a blocky voxel killer around isometric camp levels, but he only moves in straight lines until he hits something, so you have to plan the order of your victims to reach the exit. Traps, cops and new killers keep adding wrinkles across hundreds of stages.
What players say: People are surprised by how deep and challenging the puzzles get, and they love the huge number of levels and unlockable horror-themed killers.
Good to know: Despite the cute voxel look, the kills are bloody and gory.
Worth buying? Puzzle fans with a dark sense of humor should grab this; the puzzles hold up on their own, not just the horror gags.
Bulb Boy
Grab itSteam Deck: VerifiedLowest Steam price everRuns on older PCs
Steam: $0.89 (90% off) · regular price $8.99 · 89% positive Steam reviews (597) · ended Nov 2, 1:00 PM ET
What it is: Bulb Boy is a 2D point-and-click horror adventure about a little boy whose head is a lightbulb. After a nightmare, he finds his family gone and monsters roaming the house, and you solve puzzles by lighting up, surviving shocks and even unscrewing his head. The story plays out with no dialogue, only pictures in speech bubbles.
What players say: The weird, gross-out art and fair, satisfying puzzles earn plenty of praise. On the downside, it is very short, and some players hit bugs that stopped their progress.
Good to know: Expect lots of gross-out gore and bathroom humor.
Worth buying? It suits fans of quirky, bite-sized adventures with a disgusting streak, though anyone who hates the risk of a game-breaking bug may want to pass.
Aces & Adventures
Grab itSteam Deck: PlayableLowest Steam price everRuns on older PCs
Steam: $1.99 (90% off) · regular price $19.99 · 88% positive Steam reviews (627) · ends Nov 9, 1:00 PM ET
What it is: Aces & Adventures is a roguelite deckbuilding RPG where fights are won by building poker hands alongside special ability cards. You travel through a world drawn from Norse and Middle Eastern myth to protect the Life Tree, either through voiced story campaigns or randomly generated runs. Five characters each bring their own abilities to level up.
What players say: The poker-based combat gets praise for balancing luck with planning, and the voice acting and story add charm. Common complaints are a confusing interface and stretches where the card draws feel unfair.
Worth buying? Deckbuilder fans looking for a fresh twist on card combat will find plenty to chew on here.
Tchia
Grab itSteam Deck: VerifiedLowest Steam price ever
Steam: $2.99 (90% off) · regular price $29.99 · 88% positive Steam reviews (588) · ends Nov 10, 1:00 PM ET
What it is: Tchia is an open-world adventure on a tropical archipelago inspired by New Caledonia, where a young girl tries to save her father from the tyrant who rules the islands. You climb anything, glide, sail your own boat, and soul-jump into animals and objects to fly as a bird or swim as a fish. You can even play a working ukulele, and fights against fabric soldiers reward improvising.
What players say: The freedom to explore, the playground feel of jumping into animals and the rarely seen New Caledonian culture and setting get the most love.
Worth buying? Explorers who like poking around islands at their own pace in a relaxed sandbox, families included, will feel right at home.
Wavetale
Grab itSteam Deck: Playable
Steam: $4.49 (85% off) · regular price $29.99 · 88% positive Steam reviews (1,397) · It was $1.49 on Steam within the past year · ends Nov 9, 1:00 PM ET
What it is: Wavetale is a 3D action-adventure platformer set around the half-sunken islands of Strandville. As Sigrid, who gains the power to run across water from a mysterious shadow, you surf the waves, swing between rooftops with a net and battle sea monsters. Along the way you meet a cast of islanders and dig into a story about loss.
What players say: Skating across the water feels great, and many enjoy the charming story and characters. The usual complaints are that it is short and the mechanics stay the same, so it gets repetitive.
Worth buying? Players who want an easygoing, cartoony platformer will have a good time, and patient buyers can wait for a deeper sale since it has sold for less in the past year.
The Gunk
Grab itSteam Deck: PlayableRuns on older PCs
Steam: $2.49 (90% off) · regular price $24.99 · 85% positive Steam reviews (1,940) · It was $1.24 on Steam within the past year · ends Nov 9, 1:00 PM ET
What it is: The Gunk is a third-person sci-fi action-adventure from Image & Form Games. You play Rani, a space scavenger who lands on a lush alien planet with her partner and uses a Power Glove to clear away the toxic goo smothering it. Cleaning the gunk brings plant life back, opening new paths through jungles, caves and ancient ruins.
What players say: The colorful visuals and calm, low-pressure pace come up again and again. Many find the story shallow, though, and the gameplay repeats without much development.
Worth buying? It works best as a relaxing palate cleanser between bigger games, and anyone in no hurry can hold out for a deeper sale, as it dipped lower during the past year.
Othercide
Worth a trySteam Deck: UnsupportedLowest Steam price everRuns on older PCs
Steam: $2.99 (90% off) · regular price $29.99 · 83% positive Steam reviews (2,519) · ends Nov 9, 1:00 PM ET
What it is: Othercide is a turn-based tactics roguelite set in a grim dark fantasy world drawn in black, white and red. You command an army of Daughters, warrior echoes battling nightmarish creatures, using a timeline system where actions and counters are planned around turn order. You can sacrifice one Daughter to heal another, and failed runs carry some power into the next attempt.
What players say: The striking art, music and story stand out, and the tense, punishing tactics hook many players. The big shared complaint is that the game explains its systems poorly, leading to costly trial and error, with some also running into bugs.
Worth buying? Tactics fans who enjoy hard XCOM-style squad games will find a stylish challenge, but skip it if you want clear explanations and a gentle learning curve.
Steam Deck results are Valve's own tests of the Steam version. Runs on older PCs means 4 GB of RAM or less.
