Horror gaming fans have a short opportunity to add an indie title to their playing catalog, completely free of charge, courtesy of Noxus Games Studios' Don't Stop in Red Wood being available in a 100% off sale running until 10:14pm ET on May 12, or 2:14am UTC on May 13. Don't Stop in Red Wood originally released Version 1.0 for PC on Steam and Itch.io in November 2025, and players can now grab an updated Version 2.0 exclusively via the Itch.io game page for a limited time.
While arguably not as prolific or mainstream as Steam, Itch.io has been hailed as a key platform for independent game developers, especially those who wish to provide their games free of charge and with minimal backend coding and PC processing requirements. Some of the biggest names that found their start on Itch.io include games like Doki Doki Literature Club, Vampire Survivors, Buckshot Roulette, Friday Night Funkin', and even an early version of Celeste. Horror games in particular have found continued success on Itch.io, and the newest free download of Don't Stop in Red Wood looks to help boost its visibility among indie gaming fans.
