Survival fans can grab Dead in Bermuda for free on Steam until August 29 at 17:00 UTC. The 2015 survival-strategy game from Ishtar Games normally sells for $14.99, but during this promotion, it’s yours to keep permanently at no cost.
Dead in Bermuda mixes management, RPG, and survival mechanics into a single experience. The story begins with a plane crash that leaves eight survivors stranded on a mysterious island. Players are tasked with keeping the group alive by assigning daily jobs, researching tools, managing supplies, and exploring new areas. Each survivor comes with their own unique traits and personalities, which can affect group dynamics and decision-making.
The game’s design hinges mostly on replayability. Randomized events, map layouts, and dialogue mean no two runs play out the same. Around 100 exploration zones are present to keep the adventure unpredictable, with the constant risk of starvation, sickness, or morale breakdown hanging over the group.
While it’s a smaller-scale title compared to other survival hits, Dead in Bermuda has its own niche following. On Steam, it has a "Mostly Positive" rating aggregate from 333 reviews. Players praise its depth and balance of storytelling with resource management. There are occasional mentions of the challenge curve being punishing, but most players agree it delivers strong value for fans of the survival strategy genre.
For anyone curious about the genre, or those who enjoy titles like This War of Mine or Surviving the Aftermath - this should be an easy pickup. With the promotion ending on August 29, now’s the best time to add it to your library for free.
