An acclaimed 2020 game is 100% free to grab and keep forever on Steam, but you’ll need to move fast, since the offer is only live for the next 24 hours. While there are tons of freebies on the platform, from demos to entirely free-to-play titles, like the eight free games for Steam in June, you can also find a few 100% discounts every once in a while. A lot of these happen with smaller indie titles, but there are some very well-known games that are often made 100% free for a short amount of time.

This is the case with a well-known and critically acclaimed 2020 game, which is usually a paid premium product, but is currently 100% free on Steam. The title has been free since the start of the month, and all you have to do is redeem it via its product page on the platform. Once that’s done, it will join your library permanently. From there, you can download and play it at any time. However, the offer ends on June 30, so if you’re reading this by then, be sure to act swiftly.

As part of a special offer during the month of June, Steam has made Tell Me Why free to grab and keep forever. There are no strings attached, and any player can add the game to their library. Developed by Don’t Nod, the studio behind the first two titles in the Life is Strange franchise, Tell Me Why is also a choice-based episodic interactive story. The title follows the story of twins, Tyler and Alyson, who use supernatural gifts to learn more about their past.

The game follows them as they return to a small town in Alaska, where they revisit their childhood home and face the memories of their upbringing. As you would expect, the choices that you make along the way change the way the story unfolds, and Tell Me Why features different endings that are unlocked based on how you progress, very similar to the structure of the multiple endings in Life is Strange and its sequels.

Tell Me Why is a critically acclaimed game, and it is also beloved by players. In Screen Rant’s review of Tell Me Why, we give it an 8/10 score, praising its story and characters, and calling it a “strong effort” from Don’t Nod. Players seem to think similarly, as it boasts a high approval rate on Steam, with 80% positive reviews at the time of writing.

If you haven’t played Tell Me Why yet, this may be the moment you’ve been waiting for, especially if you’re a fan of narrative games just like Life is Strange. Even though the first episode is usually entirely free, the full game is now 100% free to grab, and you should do so before it returns to its regular price of $19.99 on Steam.
