How to grab NineHells without paying a cent
Steam has dropped another freebie: NineHells is available to claim for a limited time. If you add it to your Steam library before April 20 at 7:00 PM (Spanish peninsular time), it sticks to your account forever — like a free souvenir that doesn’t gather dust.
All you need to do is find the game’s Steam page while the promotion is live and hit the button to add it to your library. Once it’s there, you can download and play whenever the mood for terror strikes.
Why you might actually want to play it
NineHells is a single-player, first-person horror trip where you play Davie, a guy stumbling through a nightmarish version of hell to pull pieces of his memory back together. It’s a linear mystery with an oppressive vibe, plenty of jump scares, and puzzle-filled rooms that call back to the feel of early-2000s survival horror.
Gameplay is low-tech in a good way: flashlight in hand, you’ll collect keys, read files, open doors, and follow on-screen goals while poking at environmental objects to solve puzzles. The devs describe it as a kind of virtual haunted house — if haunted houses were designed by nostalgic horror fans.
For players, this matters because it’s a zero-risk grab: free permanent ownership means you can try a creepy indie title without spending a cent. Expect a short, atmospheric ride that’s perfect for a late-night play session, and don’t be surprised if the community bubbles up with reactions once more folks claim it.
