GOG does is, Epic does it, we all does it... let's give-away free
games!

Today from GOG:

* South of the Circle
https://www.gog.com/en/game/south_of_the_circle
Do these flat-shaded polygon games count as
'retro graphics'? They've a certain surrealist
appeal, but the style is being a bit overused
these days that robs it of its impact. Anyway,
this is a walking sim ("narrative game") so
don't expect a lot of interactivity or, well,
challenge. It's story seems to be love-it or
hate-it. A general lack of polish and bugs
rounds out the picture. Even as a fan of the
genre, I'm struggling to justify adding it
to the library. But it's free, and that
counts for a lot. ;-)

As with all GOG freebies, you've got 72 hours to claim it. As with too
many recent GOG freebies, there's a distinct disconnect between that
72 hour time limit and what it says on the game's webpage (offer good
until 5 Jan). There's a general lack of polish* at GOG too, it seems.
