Copy pasta of copy pasta of endless copy pasta.

Hello and welcome to the madness!
The challenge is simple: Play and beat any 6 games, starting today, that have been featured in any given Humble Monthly/Choice bundle in two months.

The prize: 2x Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Note: This means I'm giving away two copies of the game and will have 2 winners.

Game length does not matter and I'm not looking for 100% achievement runs. So long as you play and beat 6 games, I'm happy. You can go easy mode and play a bunch of 1h games or go crazy and play 6 +30h games. So long as they were in a monthly at a given point, it is all good.

Just post a comment with either screenshots/ achievements showing that you fulfilled the criteria and I'll add you on Steam and give you the link. Feel free to share your thoughts on the games you've played, but it is not required.

FAQ:

Why you doing this?

I hate money. That and I realized I've been subbed to the monthly for over nine years (yes it has been that long, I checked) and it occurred to me that I've barely touched the games I've gotten from it, let alone played them. Figured the same would be true for a few others, so I figured this is a good way to change that. A sensible person would probably unsub in this situation, but please refer to the beginning as to why that will not happen.

I've played the first X minutes of a game, can I pick it for the event?

No. You cannot have any play time or achievements prior to the start of the event. The only exception is idle time from farming Steam cards.

Can I play a MP only game?

No. It needs to have an "end" in order for me to count it as beaten, so it needs to have a campaign/story mode.

If a game was sold as a non-Steam copy in a bundle (origin/uplay/drm-free/etc), can I pick it as a choice if I own a Steam copy?

No. The reason being that those who own a Steam copy would have an extra option that would not be available to everyone who bought the same bundle. If the game was originally sold as a non-Steam copy, but Humble later provided steam keys to everyone who bought the bundle, then the game would be allowed.

Why six games?

The first few monthlies had 6/7 games in them so I went with that.

How long are you going to do this?

Until my credit card statements gives me nightmares.

This event "ends" on August 5th when the next next HB Choice releases, though the giveaway itself will end the day after. If you manage to finish game number six in between that time, feel free to post, but know that I cannot guarantee that I'll be able to give you the link in time.

Good luck, have fun and stay safe.
Thanks for reading, and enjoy the view.

Game Monthly/Choice Status Impression
Epistory - Typing Chronicles September 2016 Completed - Desert Dream I type with two-three fingers, so was never good at speed-typing but the game is not too hard, and the story is interesting. 8/10
Soulstice March 2024 Ongoing - -
Moonlighter July 2019 Installed - -
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night August 2021 Installed - -
Industria Septembre 2022 Completed This is the end this is the end I was expecting a Point&Click, imagine my confusion when they give you a crowbar, uh sorry, pickaxe, and then a gun. Stuck with the pickaxe for the rest of the game, and it was a good playthrough. The variety of ennemies is ok for the length of the game, the voice acting is suprisingly good, and yes, the plot is simplistic but efficient. I guess from the chievos list that there may be more to the Library scenes than meet the eye, so i'll probably come back to it at some point. 7/10

Game Monthly Achievements/Proof Thoughts
Blasphemous 2 January 2025 Canvas of Light and Time Love metroidvanias and I ended up 100% the map, but it wasn't nearly as good as the first game imo. Could really use more bosses. It felt kinda empty.
Forgive Me Father September 2022 Truth Hurts Had an awful time with this one. Encountered lots of bugs and enemies had waaaay too much HP later on. More often than not I just ended up just running past them to not waste any more time and ammo. Wasn't a big time of the ending either.
Venba December 2024 Fermented Feelings Short and sweet, the visuals and music were great!
Scanner Sombre October 2017 Menu with NG+ , Ending !spoiler! Really cool experience. Wish it leaned more into the 'horror' aspect of it.
Moon Hunters May 2018 Abandoned Incredibly easy, even on the higher difficulty settings. The enemies just stand there and do nothing most of the time. I still enjoyed it overall so I'd like to give it another try with more players.
A Short Hike April 2019 The End Very chill and charming! Loved exploring the island and talking to the NPCs. Super relaxing experience overall!

Welp, I started a month later than I intended, but at least I'm getting the ball rolling.

Hyper Light Drifter July 2017 Not Started 0/32 Achievements

For Hyper Light Drifter, I have 1 hour of play time from 2020 but no achievements. I can't recall if it was pure idle time, as I don't normally farm cards, or starting to play it and stopping it for whatever reason. I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know if I'm disqualified from playing it for the event. I'll assume no response means its fine.

Another month of making a dent in that backlog. Bunch of games in this one that I had been interested in but left me a bit disappointed.
