obviously has the monopoly on PC gaming at this moment in time, and there isn't too much emphasis on them continuing to bring us incredible deals. That said, they're seemingly going to continue doing it anyway, and it's an exciting time to be on the store if you're a fan of cosy games and simulators.
Steam's House and Home Fest has brought a ton of deals on games like and Builder Simulator, as well as indie gems like Whisper of the House, Creature Kitchen, and The Berlin Apartment.

Steam Just Made Subnautica Free
Over on , you should be able to find the page for Subnautica, a largely underwater open world survival crafting game from developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment. Not only is it available at a discount of 75% in most regions for those who want to buy it, but you can also download and play the full game for free until April 6, giving you plenty of time to decide if you like it.
If you haven't played it before, crash lands players on an unknown alien planet, where the only thing you can do is head down and explore the ocean, navigating deep-sea trenches, lava fields, and bio-luminescent underwater rivers, all while managing your oxygen supply.
The ocean you'll be exploring is absolutely packed with life, some of which will predictably try to kill and eat you on sight, and it's up to you to collect everything you need to survive and thrive in the oceanic world. It's a genuinely great genre entry and a brilliant way to while away the weekend, if you're looking for something to play.
