Edit: Giveaway over and both copies have been sent to the two winners Burntwits and Kühlschrank. Thanks for commenting and stay tuned for the next giveaway - I’ll make a post in a few days probably!

Hey guys! As a little thank-you for your continued patronage, I’d like to, once again, host a little giveaway for a couple games. This’ll be the first of two giveaway posts - the second one will be revealed at a later time.

I’m giving away 2x Steam copies of Death’s Door! It’s not exactly a soulslike, but it’s definitely got some soulslike elements - be it exploration, or combat. It wasn’t entirely my jam, but it’s a good game, objectively speaking, and the art direction is really lovely.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/894020/Deaths_Door/

What you need to do to participate:

  • Post a comment here. It can be anything you want. Have you heard of the game? Why would you like to play it? Anything, really.

  • You need to be subscribed to the community at the time of entering the giveaway (no minimum amount of time being subscribed). You don’t need to be a Lemmy.Zip user. However, your account needs to have been created before 1st December 2025.

  • You need to have a Steam account (duh) and be fine with adding me on Steam, so I can gift the game to you. From my research, a 3-day period of us being friends is not required here. In the last giveaway I hosted here, after adding a user, I could immediately send the copy over as a gift.

The giveaway will be open from when the post is live on 8th December 2025 to 10 pm CET on 9th December.

The giveaway will be handled by Zippy Bot ie. the winners will be pulled automatically. This means that at the end of the giveaway, I will lock the thread and Zippy will pull two random entries as winners.

Good luck to anyone participating!

Small Edit: If you do not want your name to be pulled for the giveaway, please refrain from commenting. While I appreciated the nice comments I got last time praising the idea of a giveaway, it’s extra work to have the users excluded from the giveaway after commenting. Thank you!

    Thanks for doing this! I’ve had the game on my wishlist for a little while now, it looks pretty good. I hope whoever wins, whether it’s me or someone else, has fun with it.

    Hard to turn down a free game. As long as it runs on Linux…

    The art looks really cute too. If I win I’ll definitely review the game

      Can’t say for sure, but shouldn’t Proton cover most gaming needs for Linux?

      And thanks, that’s awesome! It’s actually something I’ve asked for the last time I hosted a giveaway. Sadly, none of the winners wrote a review or made any kind of post about the game they won.

      All of that to say, it’s not a request, but it’s very much appreciated :)

    I love this! Makes me want to do a similar thing with some of my recent faves.

    I saw my brother playing Death’s Door which was a surprise because it’s not his style really and he has never discovered one before I do. Haven’t tried it yet tho maybe now I will.

      Sounds good! Always nice to give something back to the community, I feel like.

      It’s a cool game overall. It has a little something from all kinds of games mixed into its DNA. Some Dark Souls, some Zelda… It didn’t hook me as much as I had hoped it to, unfortunately, but I also didn’t have enough patience for new games at the time I played, I think

    Count me in.

    I think I saw a Boss fight from Death’s Door in a Game Maker’s Toolkit video? I have the game bookmarked already.
