Edit: Courtesy of an anonymous donor, there are two more games to give away: Lies of P and Remnant 2 Ultimate Edition! This pushes up the number of winners from 5 to 7! Thank you for your contribution 💜

Edit: I upped the number of copies for Another Crab’s Treasure from 1x to 3x. Now, we’ll have 9 winners :) I’ve also edited in which games will be distributed as gifts on Steam and which ones are keys. For codes we don’t need to befriend each other on Steam - for gifts we do.

Hey! Here’s part 2 of the Christmas Giveaway I mentioned last time. This time, there’s more games and copies to win but also less time to enter the giveaway because I fumbled the dates a little D:

Here’s the games to win:

  • 3x Blasphemous (gift)
  • 1x Nioh Complete Edition OR Steelrising (gift)
  • 1x 3x Another Crab’s Treasure (code)
  • 1x Lies of P (code)
  • 1x Remnant 2 Ultimate Edition (code)

All of these are amazing and worth an entry if you haven’t played one of them for sure! ACT is definitely the highlight here since it’s a very different vibe of soulslike compared to your average Dark Souls or Elden Ring.

What you need to do to participate:

  • Post a comment here. It can be anything you want. Have you heard of the games? Why would you like to play them? Anything, really. Ideally, you’ll mention which game(s) you already have, so I can keep that in mind.

  • 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 15th December 2025.

  • You need to have a Steam account and be fine with adding me on Steam, so I can gift the game to you.

  • After the giveaway ends, ie. around 3 pm CET on 18th December, please check the post again and be in your DMs if you’re pulled as a winner, so we don’t lose precious time and risk my not being able to send you the game - the sale I’m taking advantage of for this giveaway will only be going until 7pm. I can’t guarantee to be able to send you a copy otherwise.

Again, the giveaway will be open from when the post is live on 17th December 2025 to 3 pm CET on 18th 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.

I’ll distribute copies according to the order the winners are pulled by Zippy from top to bottom. This means that the first three winners will get a copy of Blasphemous, the fourth one Steelrising or Nioh, and the fifth one Another Crab’s Treasure. If you happen to have the game already, we’ll try to figure something out. Maybe there’s a different game you’re interested in that costs the same.

As mentioned last time, please only comment if you want to participate. Answers to other comments in the thread also count, so keep that in mind.

Good luck to anyone participating!

    I haven’t played any of these games but would love to run through them. I’m most intrigued by Lies of P in particular. Thanks so much for running this giveaway!

    Nioh and Another Crab’s Treasure have both been on my wishlist for a while now. This is a really cool thing you’re doing for the community, thank you!

    Thanks for doing this! I’d love ACT or Steel Rising. I own Blasphemous on Steam and I have Nioh on console.

    I wonder if we’re ever gonna get a Bloodborne 2. Or a PC release of Bloodborne. So far emulation seems promising, and with the randomizer it makes for interesting challenge runs. My last run I had to face the Living Failures, but instead of the slow idiots they were instead Rom, Maria, Gascoigne, and Gascoigne (beast form). All scaled up to that area of the game of course. That took quite a while to beat and involved a lot of hitbox manipulation using the terrain and Rom’s big dumb body.

      I’d love Bloodborne 2 for sure. A remaster would be cool too, maybe even just a PC port. But I feel like FS is allergic to money or something.

      Holy, that sounds like hell of a fight. I need to watch some videos

        Fingers crossed that The Duskbloods actually works out to being a Bloodborne spiritual successor!

    I’m interested in playing blasphemous, since I’m looking to get more use out of my steam deck, but they all look good. Lies of P and Another crab’s treasure are amazing, and I had a lot of fun playing them, if I do win one of those I’d gift it to my friend for christmas :)

    Must say, it’s very nice of you to do this

    I really enjoyed Blasphemous. It has some flaws but in the end I just loved the art and level designs.

    Been wanting to get Another Crab’s Treasure for a while. Currently playing an older game from the same studio, Going Under, and enjoying it. It’s got some social satire of corporate culture, plus decent gameplay.

      Just to be clear, you’d be fine with Nioh and Steelrising too if you got one of those?

        Good point, I’d be happy with Steelrising too, Nioh I already have and couldn’t get into.

    Lies of P has been on my must-play list for a while, and Another Crab’s Treasure also looks intriguing, gameplay and setting-wise, even though the art style isn’t quite my vibe.

    I think I saw a couple of screenshots of Blasphemous when it came out initially (I think). That’s triggering some latent memory.

    This is pretty dope of you to set up. For the record, this is not a submission, just a passing comment.

    I dont understand how I own Nioh 2 but not Nioh 1. I’m guessing humble bundle?

    Blasphemous was great, I need to crack into Blasphemous 2 yet, which I think I also got from humble.

    I started ACT, also from humble, wow! My son also got into it, its his first souls like and he was a little shocked about the difficulty but has been sticking with it. I warned him it was a little different than the roblox games he is used to.

    I don’t have any of those games, Steelrising looks interesting but anything would be cool. Thanks for the giveaway

    Whoops! Saw this too late. I already own Blasphemous, but every game mentioned is JUICY!
    Thanks for this giveaway and even more for keeping such a good instance up and running. 💛
    I’ll share this post around if you don’t mind. It might be the motivation some of my pals need to join the fediverse.

    Woo! I love this kind of initiatives, especially with great games such as these! Thank you so much for organizing it! <3

    I’ve had my eyes on Nioh and Lies of P for a while, so if this is a way for me to get my hands on one of them, then so be it! :D
