Steam users are in for a treat this Halloween season, with a spooky free game up for grabs until November 1 at 1:00 pm local time. To claim the game, users will need to act fast, as the offer expires on this date and the game will revert to its normal price.

While Steam Deck users may be eager to try out this free game, they may encounter some compatibility issues. The Steam listing for the game notes that Steam Deck compatibility is "Unknown," meaning that Valve hasn't completed its testing for the device. This doesn't necessarily mean the game won't run on the Steam Deck, but rather that it may not run smoothly or at all.

So, what's the free game that's got everyone talking? It's Unloved, a 2016 old-school shooter with horror elements from developer Blue Eagle Productions. Fans of classic DOOM games will likely be interested in checking it out, as Unloved was born from an award-winning mod for DOOM 2.

According to the game's official Steam description, Unloved is a "strange place. A twisted reality. A nightmare that comes to life." The game promises a thrilling experience, with procedurally generated basement levels, support for up to four players, and a range of challenges to complete. Players can work together to unlock new areas, find mods, and solve objectives, all while trying to survive the horrors that lurk in the darkness.

But don't just take the developer's word for it - Unloved has received decent scores from users, with 76% of its 1,277 reviews being positive, earning it a "Mostly Positive" rating. Even when filtering for the most recent reviews, the game still has a respectable 67% approval rating, suggesting that the game's free status hasn't artificially inflated its scores.
