Published on May 18, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Steam has activated a new limited-time promotion to add the game MISERY to your library for free, a cooperative survival title set in a post-apocalyptic world after a nuclear disaster. The offer will be available until May 18 at 6:00 PM local time. If you enjoy managing resources, fighting mutations, and exploring hostile environments with friends, this is an opportunity to try it without spending a dime.

In the background, a destroyed reactor emits a toxic green glow, while remnants of machinery and dead vegetation lie scattered. The orange sunset lighting contrasts with the somber tone of the environment, evoking cooperation and imminent danger.

A graphics engine that portrays radioactive desolation 🎮

MISERY uses an engine based on Unreal Engine to represent environments devastated by radiation, with dynamic lighting effects and particles that simulate toxic storms. The physics system applies contextual damage based on exposure to contaminated areas, and the enemy AI reacts to noise and flashlight light. The game prioritizes inventory management and crafting items to repair weapons and shelters, all in a day-night cycle that alters visibility and creature behavior.

Surviving the apocalypse without leaving the couch 🛋️

Because nothing says extreme survival like sitting in your pajamas managing cans of food while your character coughs from radiation. If you ever wanted to feel like a mad scientist with a lighter and two wires, this game lets you craft a generator without having to pay the electricity bill. At least in the game, the end of the world comes with free updates.
