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 π), but there should be something interesting in the mix here. :D
I'm giving away copies of:
- 2x Hollow Knight (thanks to TheOakTree π)
- 5x Blasphemous (thanks to TheOakTree π)
- Nioh: Complete Edition
- Mortal Shell
- Thymesia
- The Surge 2
- Elden Ring (thanks to Demigodrick π)
- Dust: An Elysian Tail (thanks to p3e7 π)
- Lies of P (thanks to an anonymous donation π)
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~~ 14 random entries as winners. The ~~six~~ ~~seven~~ ~~eight~~ 14 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: @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 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?: @p3e7@lemmy.zip was also kind enough to add a different game to the mix: Dust: An Elysian Tail. Thank you!
ediiiiiiiiit: @TheOakTree@beehaw.org came in clutch and donated another 16β¬ 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 ππ»ππ»ππ»
more edits: thanks to an anonymous donation, we can offer a full copy of Lies of P now. The funds we had recently received for half the copy will be used for more Blasphemous and HK now. :)
Thank you for being part of the community and enjoy your week!
