The Steam new releases chart is a landfill most days — asset flips, half-baked visual novels, and things that barely qualify as software. But buried in the pile this week are three free games with actual personality. None of them have more than five reviews. All of them are worth your time if you’ve got fifteen minutes to burn.

Sopwith is a faithful remake of the 1984 DOS classic, and yes, that sentence means something to maybe twelve people reading this. You pilot a Sopwith Camel biplane over eight levels of bombing runs and dogfights, solo or in online multiplayer. The original was one of the earliest networked PC games ever made — four-colour CGA graphics, PC speaker bleeps, the works. According to Retro Compute, the physics are surprisingly satisfying: pulling out of a dive at the last second still hits. The remake has exactly one review, and it’s a banger: “This is by far the best game release since Frogger on Atari 2600!” wrote one player with 1.1 hours logged. Bold claim. Zero people are playing it right now. Download it and be the entire multiplayer community.

Eternally Departed takes the anomaly-detection formula popularised by Exit 8 and drags it into a haunted manor. You search rooms, light candles, and try to survive something called The Knight. The catch? It shipped with a game-breaking bug. The sole reviewer found an anomaly but couldn’t progress because the game failed to spawn matches needed to clear the room. They still gave it a thumbs up and a 5/10. “Knowing it’s just some little code they overlooked it should be an easy fix,” they wrote. One person is currently playing. That’s either dedication or they haven’t hit the bug yet.

It’s too late to apologize. — punctuation included — is the strangest of the bunch. Described as a puzzle adventure set in ancient ruins where you defy worship and cast birthday cakes into the abyss. Sure. Five reviews, 100% positive, split between English and Japanese (“いいゲーム” — good game). Nobody has much to say beyond that, but the sheer confidence of naming your game after a OneRepublic lyric and asking people to throw cakes into voids earns a look.

Three games. Zero cost. Maximum chaos. Go.
