Hi everyone!

I would like to compile a list of GOG Free Games just for fun. Previously I used Adamantios GOGmix as a source of reference

Adamantios GOGMix

But I realised it hasn't been updated for awhile. I have some games but I can't quite remember the reason for them being free, if you remember how and why it's free please let me know. Also free games include pre-order promotions as well as free gifts obtained after reaching a certain amount in sales (as in the current 2015 winter promotion sale). Does not include limited giveaways in competitions etc

GOG Connect Mix is here

Cool thanks for this!

During the last Insomnia sale, you had the chance to get each of the games in the sale for free (I got Shadowrun Returns, Lumino City, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and another one I don't remember). Not sure if it makes sense to include thes games in the list though (because it would be many games and just a small part of the customers got them for free).

Hi PaterAlf

Thanks :) But think those are limited and few and far in-between. I'm looking at those that are available for the masses and easily obtainable. But that list will make another good topic! Maybe when I'm done with this one :D

I have everything I want from the current free game list but there are many on the coming soon section I'll love to get.

Voila
Eh, should have read the OP fully :embarassed:

New item added today - CItizens Kabuto Free. Go claim while it's there!

Thanks for this! WIll add it to the list
