Tell Me Why - Official Chapter One Launch Trailer

Hellslave is a dungeon crawler that looks quite similar to Darkest Dungeon. Players are thrown into a world of destruction to slay all the demons as humanity’s final hope. The game seems to feature some kind of variance each run, as one of the game’s descriptions says that “Hellslave is never the same twice” when describing New Game+.

Tell Me Why is free for the whole month as part of Xbox’s celebration of Pride Month. Hellslave, on the other hand, is free on Steam due to its publisher, Dear Villagers, having a sale on the platform. It’s only going to be available until June 17, 2025.
