Steam sale: Popular indie game available for under $2.50

FAR: Lone Sails is an atmospheric exploration game that takes players on a melancholic journey across a vast, dried-out landscape, not on foot, but in a unique vehicle. Resembling a carriage, it runs on both sails and steam. There are no enemies or combat here; the focus is entirely on discovery and solving puzzles.

Players must do more than just steer their vehicle, they also need to keep it running. This means collecting resources, repairing machinery and timing the sails just right to avoid overloading the steam engine. Along the journey, obstacles block the path, requiring clever puzzle-solving to move forward. FAR: Lone Sails tells its story without words, relying on its minimalist art style and soothing sound design to create a meditative, almost hypnotic atmosphere.

Released in May 2018, FAR: Lone Sails was developed by Okomotive and published by Assemble Entertainment. The game has been highly praised by the Steam community, with over 18,500 reviews and a 94% positive rating. It also holds a solid Metascore of 80 and a User Score of 7.9 on Metacritic. Normally priced at around $15, the game is currently available on Steam for just $2.24 thanks to an 85% discount. The deal runs until March 5. It’s even slightly cheaper at GamersGate, where a Steam key can be purchased for $2.03.
