Valve often works with developers to offer free weekends on a variety of games and give users an insight into obscure experiences they might have easily overlooked. Sometimes, the studio will even allow you to retain the game after the promotion has ended. Consortium is the latest title to provide this service and can be added to your Steam library if you click the install button before the end of today. Consortium takes place onboard a futuristic aircraft and features an absolutely stunning soundtrack. During the plot, you take on the role of Consortium Bishop Six, a global peacekeeper in the year 2042, and have the freedom to change how events unfold.
The game has an overwhelmingly positive reception and excellent reviews from a wide selection of press outlets. Additionally, it adopts a really unique art style and has a captivating story. This means it’s certainly worth a look especially when there’s zero cost involved. Consortium is also seeking funds to develop a sequel which you might want to back after playing the original. Here is a rundown in the developer’s own words about the game’s unique premise:
The first of a planned trilogy, Consortium contains a fully resolvable arc entirely aboard Zenlil, but links to further games by a much larger story and its countless mysteries. Each subsequent title will act in this way, with both an internal story and a serialization that continues to build the alternate universe.
