Until November 1, Steam users can claim the 2016 sci-fi adventure game Space Pilgrim Episode 3: Delta Pavonis, which holds Very Positive user reviews. Steam offers plenty of free-to-play sci-fi titles, but Space Pilgrim stands out for players seeking a nostalgic experience in this genre.

Space Pilgrim Episode 3

Space Pilgrim isn’t the only free game that intergalactic adventure enthusiasts should be aware of. There’s also a simultaneous giveaway on Steam for a sci-fi game called Distant Space, which, like Space Pilgrim, offers plenty of nostalgia. However, it’s an arcade-style title with little to no narrative. For a deeper and more meaningful campaign, players are encouraged to check out the third episode of the Space Pilgrim series instead.

Space Pilgrim Episode 3: Delta Pavonis Is a Pixel-Art Space Adventure

According to the Steam page of Space Pilgrim Episode 3: Delta Pavonis, it follows Captain Gail Pilgrim and her crew as they explore deep space. The game features top-down, pixel-art gameplay with a rich story. Only the third episode is included in the giveaway, but the first episode is free-to-play, while the second costs less than a dollar. This is a prime opportunity for fans of retro-style sci-fi games to experience the complete story. Additionally, all other Space Pilgrim episodes and spin-offs are currently offered at a 72% discount on Steam, a deal gamers are urged to take advantage of before it ends on November 12.

As one of Steam’s short indie games, Space Pilgrim Episode 3: Delta Pavonis takes around three to five hours to complete. Players will interact with various crew members, solve simple puzzles, and undertake sci-fi-themed missions to progress through the campaign. This episode’s story revolves around planetary politics and challenging decision-making, although playing all four episodes is recommended for a full grasp of the overarching narrative. Notably, Space Pilgrim Episode 3: Delta Pavonis boasts an 89% positive rating on Steam, indicating that most players have enjoyed their experience. It’ll be intriguing to see if the game amasses more reviews in the days to come as more users participate while it’s available for free.

Gameplay

Fans of free Steam titles should also be aware that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is giving away two skin bundles as part of its Halloween celebration. Players have until November 3 to claim these outfits and join the game’s limited-time event featuring double XP boosts. Meanwhile, Cities: Skylines 2 is free to play until November 10. Unlike Space Pilgrim, Cities: Skylines 2 will revert to its paid status once the offer concludes.
