Everyone likes freebies, and one of the things I most often hear when discussing the quality of games nowadays is that people wish the day of the demo would return. People like to try before they buy and that is fair enough.

One of the closest modern equivalents right now is the odd free weekend that some developers give on Steam for their games, and right now the developers of one game are not only letting people try their game for free – if you do try you get to keep it. Not bad.

Consortium is an immersive sim set on an airship in the near future, your choices matter and the game itself will react to the decisions and moves you make. Feedback is mostly positive as well, so this seems like a very good deal.

Of course, there is a reason for this free weekend and that comes in the form of the game’s sequel Consortium: The Tower, for which developer Interdimensional Games will be launching a Kickstarter campaign tomorrow.

Either way, free is free and this looks like a good one to pick up. If you’re interested, head on over to the Steam page for the game now.
