An indie horror game called Lord of Chaos is free to keep on PC for a very limited time. What makes Lord of Chaos an interesting pick is its blend of different genres, as it combines “cozy vibes” with a horror story. PC gamers who enjoy games with good music might also want to check out this freebie, as its soundtrack is quite unique.
August has had its fair share of free-to-keep promotions on PC so far. Right now, for example, gamers can look forward to the Lenovo Legion Gaming Community giveaway, which will give them free Steam keys for Before Your Eyes and The Walking Dead, two highly rated narrative-centric games. They can also grab Lord of Chaos at no cost if they want to experience a short, quirky, and spooky adventure.

Players take on the role of an investigator who needs to attend to reports of paranormal activity. There are some slow-paced actions that are meant to build suspense and tension for the second half. Interestingly, neither the story nor the jump scares seem to be Lord of Chaos’ strong suit.

Developer Hexnut Studios created several tracks for the game that drastically change the atmosphere. Thanks to that, Lord of Chaos can be seen as an indie game with catchy music and a horror experience that makes scary encounters feel like a music video. Luckily, Hexnut Studios has released the soundtrack separately, and all the tracks are free to listen to on a platform called Beatstars.
