PC Gamers Can Claim Free 1993 Adventure Game

PC gamers can currently claim Return of the Phantom for free on GOG as part of the platform’s Halloween Sale. Released by MicroProse in 1993, Return of the Phantom is a classic PC game set in the universe of Phantom of the Opera, and it’s available to claim for a limited time.

GOG often offers free games during its sales. Last year, GOG offered free games during the Winter Sale, including South of the Circle, Legend of Keepers: Career of a Dungeon Master, Caveblazers, Lost Ruins, and Lacuna. This year, the same is happening with the GOG Halloween Sale.

Gamers can currently claim the classic 1993 adventure game Return of the Phantom on GOG. The point-and-click adventure game follows the story of Inspector Raoul Montand while he pursues the Red Death, trying to prevent the famous criminal from claiming more lives. Interestingly, the game comes with time travel elements, allowing the players to come back from 1993 to 1881 and investigate the Phantom’s original case. The title has fully voiced characters and a thrilling story that was written by Raymond Benson, who also worked on the James Bond franchise. To claim the game, gamers only need to own a GOG account, log in, and click on “Add to library” on the game’s page. According to GOG, the giveaway will continue until November 9 at 1:00 PM UTC.

When is GOG Giving Away Return of the Phantom?

• The giveaway has already started, and it will continue until November 9 at 1:00 PM UTC.

While Return of the Phantom is arguably not one of the most well-known 90s games in its genre, the title has positive reviews and seems like a short but memorable experience that takes only around three hours to beat. Reviews indicate that Return of the Phantom focuses more on the story than on puzzles. However, it does have puzzles, such as an intricate maze of catacombs below the Opera’s house, which will challenge players in the second half of the story.

Apart from this giveaway, GOG’s Halloween Sale has some pretty good deals for fans of horror games, including the Resident Evil Bundle, which reunites the three first entries in the franchise with a discount of 10%. Other interesting offers of the sale include FEAR Platinum with a 90% discount, and Dying Light: Definitive Edition with 80% off. Fans of investigation games who want a good deal may also be interested in Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The First Cases, which has a discount of 80% during the sale, or Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis – Remastered, which is 90% off.
