GOG Offers 27 Free Games For Players Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

The 2019 Novel Coronavirus has affected the world and its people in so many ways since it started in Wuhan City in China. One of the ways by which people can keep themselves safe from the virus is by simply avoiding getting infected by it.

The White House, along with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have released a set of guidelines that every citizen in the United States have to follow to slow the spread of the virus. To sum it up, the guidelines advise that, if at all possible, people should stay at home to avoid contracting or spreading it.

One online video games seller, GOG, has launched a new collection of free games that players can enjoy while staying at home and avoiding the virus. Extreme Tech reported that all of these are already free to download from the platform, but have now been organized so that they're easier to find. Some of the games are really old, but some of them are quite new. Here's the list of titles:

• “Akalabeth: World of Doom”
• “Alder’s Blood Prologue”
• “Beneath a Steel Sky”
• “Bio Menace”
• “Builders of Egypt: Prologue”
• “Cayne”
• “Doomdark’s revenge”
• “Eschalon: Book I”
• “Flight of the Amazon Queen”
• “GWENT: The Witcher Card Game”

It's worth noting that the list of games, all of the found on the “Stay at home and play some games” page, include titles from various genres and are not limited to role-playing games or shooter games. Some of them, such as the 1980 classic “Akalabeth” can be played on a very basic computer. Some, like “Hello Neighbor” will only run on more capable machines.
