Deal | Three survival horror games are free to claim for a very limited time on GOG

There's a limited-time bundled game giveaway happening at GOG, and for those who are into classic survival horror titles, this one might be worth checking out. The platform is giving away three games in a bundle called Alone in the Dark Trilogy, and within the bundle, there's a mini-adventure title, Jack in the Dark.

The reason why the bundled free games are classics is primarily that they were all initially released in the 90s. For example, the first iteration of the Alone in the Dark series was released in 1992, and it's regarded as the "grand-daddy of the survival horror genre."

This first entry of the series puts players in a location steeped in occult history and Lovecraftian influence. There are two playable characters, and the game's environment, which is mostly interconnected rooms of a mansion, laid the groundwork for cinematic horror design. On Steam, it currently has a 92% positive rating that's curated from around 350 player reviews, and it retails for

Moving to the second free game of the bundle, it's Alone in the Dark 2, and this one shifts focus towards a more action-heavy structure. Firearms play a big role in the gameplay, and enemy encounters are more frequent than in the first title of the series. Puzzle-solving and exploration, however, remain central to the survival horror experience. This entry, which was released in 1994, into the series currently holds a 71% positive rating on Steam, and it goes for $14.99 when not on sale.

As for the third title of the series, it was released in 1995, and this one moves the setting to the Mojave Desert. There's simplification of many in-game mechanics, and it leans more towards action, and nearly any object can be used as a weapon. However, it retains the fixed-camera presentation and eerie tone. It has over 100 reviews on Steam, with 74% of them being positive, and typically, it costs $14.99.

Alone in the Dark Trilogy giveaway on GOG will expire soon

For those interested in trying these classic horror games, note that the giveaway will expire soon. As the storefront mentions, this $0 offer will end on February 05, 2026. Those who are looking for something modern but similar to these current free games can check out the 2024 release (available on Humble Bundle), which features enhanced visuals and refined gameplay.
