Asleep: Act 1 Is Free to Keep on Steam Until November 2

Asleep: Act 1 is free to keep on Steam until November 2. Our US-store check late on October 30, 2026 showed the first chapter at $0.00, down from $9.99. This is a full Act 1 giveaway, not the separately listed demo, a free weekend or a subscription benefit.

Choose the free Act 1 offer, not a bundle

Open the official Steam page and look for Get Asleep: Act 1 with a $0.00 price and an Add to Account button. A Steam account is required to add it to your library. Check that the offer is still free before confirming.

The same page advertises a separate demo, an Acts 1 + 2 bundle and a bundle with Clock Tower: Rewind. Those are different options. The giveaway does not include Act 2 or the Final Act. Steam lists Act 2 as paid additional content; the free first chapter is the starting point, not the complete multi-part story.

The deadline needs a timezone check

The live offer displayed November 2 at 12:00 p.m. in our browser, but did not identify the timezone in that text. We have not independently verified its exact UTC cutoff. Use the time shown on your own Steam page and claim early rather than relying on an assumed conversion. Availability can change before publication or when the promotion ends.

A Brazilian psychological-horror story

Developed by Black Hole Games and published by CriticalLeap, Asleep follows Ana Lúcia through a nightmare in 1990s northeastern Brazil. Its pixel-art environments combine exploration, puzzles and stealth. Light is more than decoration: different threats react differently to it, making the flashlight part of how you navigate danger.

Steam showed a Very Positive overall review label from 316 reviews at our check. That is a player-review signal, not a WUPGames hands-on verdict. Players looking for a compact introduction to an episodic horror story may find the free chapter a useful starting point, provided the themes suit them.

Check content and compatibility first

The developer flags violence, blood, psychological horror and sensitive social themes, including references to suicide, bullying and harassment. This is not an all-ages recommendation. Steam lists Windows, macOS and Linux system-requirement sections, but check your operating-system version and hardware on the store page before installing. The listed Windows 7-era game requirement does not override the modern Steam client’s Windows 10-or-later requirement.

Worth claiming? If you enjoy story-led horror and are comfortable with its content, a free-to-keep first chapter is a low-cost way to try the setting. Just keep the scope straight: Act 1 is free; continuing the story may require a separate purchase.
