Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse--a wonderful 2D platformer--is currently free on GOG. The deal is part of the storefront’s ongoing Summer Sale 2022, although the game will only remain free until June 16. All you need to do to claim Shantae is create a free GOG account (if you don't have one already). As with all GOG titles, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is DRM-free.

Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse

Free (was $20)

　　Shantae is the third game in the popular platforming series. It follows the eponymous Shantae as she tries to save Sequin Land from a deadly curse. You’ll run and jump through a variety of biomes, upgrading your weapons and other gear as you go. The game launched on PC in 2015, but its pixel art style and charming humor have aged gracefully. Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse typically retails for $20, so we'd say the low cost of free is a pretty darn good deal.
