Can games bought from Humble Bundle be downloaded directly or are they just Steam keys, nowdays?

Depends, it's on a per-game basis and depends on the developer putting up a DRM free build.

Humble Store notes DRM free specifically if it has it.

I see, thanks. After a little digging I found a filter for DRM-free at the store.

Still, look closely. If you select 'Linux' and 'no DRM' it will still also display games that have DRM-free versions on Win/Mac, but are Steam-only for Linux....

Grabbed the Amnesia games, and I'm looking forward to trying them out. I really want to like them; it would mean I could re-examine the horror genre of video games as a whole, which in turn would mean more games available for me to play.

As it stands, however, my play-style puts me at odds with most horror video games. It's not that they couldn't scare me---I'm sure they could---but a several decades watching horror movies has taught me:

  • Don't ghost hunt.

  • Don't go into abandoned buildings, especially abandoned hospitals and asylums.

  • Don't take shortcuts through woods, swamps, or sewers.

  • Don't investigate strange sounds.

  • Don't kiss, fuck, or do anything in-between when monsters and murderers are about.

  • Don't assume a monster/murderer is dead until you curb-stomp its head and/or dismember it.

  • Don't go back for anybody. Ever.

  • Never split up.

  • And never ever go anywhere without a weapon, no matter how makeshift, arm yourself with something.

  • Stupid people die.


and playing horror video games always seem to require I ignore some or all of these.

Still, free's free, and the Amnesia games are said to be classics of the genre. I'll try and role-play a horror movie character, I'll try and play a stupid people for the sake of a good scare. ;)

  • You'll be happy to hear you don't have to break this rule (among others). ;)

    No, seriously: If you manage not to overthink it, you might have a great time.

    Yeah, I'll get some of that Stellaris DLC... been playing it like an addict lately.

    Frictional Games have made some seriously creepy games, first came the Penumbra series, then the Amnesia games & most recently SOMA. If you haven't got them grab them now, you'll never have a good night's sleep again. ;)
