Hey guys! As a little thank you to the community and in light of the current ongoing Steam Summer Sale, I would like to give a little back to the community: I'm giving away a number of soulslikes and soulslike-adjacent titles. I'm not made of money, so sadly, I can't give away the "best" titles there are (Edit: They're getting better by the hour now 😂), but there should be something interesting in the mix here. :D

I'm giving away copies of:

• Hollow Knight
• Blasphemous
• Nioh: Complete Edition
• Mortal Shell
• Thymesia
• The Surge 2
• Elden Ring (thanks to Demigodrick 💜)
• Dust: An Elysian Tail (thanks to p3e7 💜)
• Half a copy of Lies of P (more at the bottom of the post)
• or if that doesn't work: 4 more copies of Blasphemous and 1 more copy of Hollow Knight (thanks to OakTree 💜)

Requirements:

• Post a comment here. Ideally, you'll include which of these titles you already have, so you don't get a duplicate in case you are pulled as a winner.

• You need to be from the EU. Because of regional pricing differences affecting which countries can be sent Steam gits to (needs to be within a 10% price difference between the two countries), I cannot send you a gift if the difference in pricing is too big. Gift cards would be a solution, but I don't have that much money :]

• 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 either. However, your account needs to have been created before 20th June 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 since I'm not gifting a gift card but a game.

The giveaway will be open for ~~48 hours~~ how many hours it is until Friday (lol) from when the post is live on 30th June 2025 to 10 pm CET on ~~2nd~~ 4th July.

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 ~~six~~ ~~seven~~ ~~eight~~ 9-13 random entries as winners. The ~~six~~ ~~seven~~ ~~eight~~ 9-13 winners will be given the games from top to bottom in order of messages received. Wishes for certain games will be taken into consideration where possible.

Should the order I get you pulled as a winner coincide with a game you already own, we might be able to do some switcheroos with the other winners - we'll have to see when it's time.

This is the first time I'm doing a giveaway like this, so please don't rip my head off if something goes wrong - I'll do my best. :D

Ninja Edit: An informal request of mine would be that if you're pulled as a winner, that you consider making a post about the game you won. It can be your experience with the game, why you like it/don't like it etc. It helps contribute a little to the community and people would likely be interested in different perspectives outside my own lol. No pressure tho :]

Another edit: I've set the last day of entry to 4th July on Friday, so we can do manual edits and adjustments if something goes wrong

Yet another update: @[email protected] was kind enough to throw in a copy of Elden Ring to give away too, so there's 7 people winning something here. :)

Tired of these edits yet?: @[email protected] was also kind enough to add a different game to the mix: Dust: An Elysian Tail. Thank you!

ediiiiiiiiit: @[email protected] came in clutch and donated another 16€ for the giveaway. Theoretically it's meant for half of a copy of Lies of P, if someone wants to chip in that is, or for several more copies of Blasphemous and Hollow Knight. I'll give this a day or two to see if someone wants to pay the other half - otherwise, there'll be a couple more winners in the end. :D Thank you, oh mighty Oak Tree 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you for being part of the community and enjoy your week!
