The event officially opens at 00:00 UTC, any playtime/achivements before that won't be counted.

Countdown until event ends

Congrats to everyone who participated in March! The stats are the following:

  • 21487 achievements have been achieved
  • 3347.1 hours have been played
  • 267 games have been beaten
  • 144 people have participated and beaten at least one game.

Hope to see you all again this month :)

Due to timezones/people not being online 24/7 I am still accepting any edits/applications for March for the next couple of days (till the March thread is closed).


The theme for this month is

The world is your Oyster

(Thank you to stfmnsl for the suggestion!)

Games with exactly 4 achievements and you got them all!
Games where the main character is an Oyster *

Special subtheme for this month:
Any unplayed game (win or backlog) but you have to complete it (any game is okay here, even from backlog, but it needs to be completed (all achivements done) for it to count)

* Please provide some kind of explanation/proof (screenshots or link to some proof) in the notes or it will be rejected.
*² Game will only be approved after it is beaten/completed, can't check if it fits the category otherwise

No win that fits the theme or played them all?

Please use the "Note" section when submitting the game to inform me of this situation.


You can submit this months games you are going to play here:

FAQ, Updated Version on our new Discord Server


Who can participate

Anyone who does not have any unactivated wins, multiple wins or a VAC ban. You can participate even if you don't have any SteamGifts wins, see the "Have already completed all your wins?" below as it applies to this scenario too.



Extra Rules:

  1. No comment on this thread? If there is something wrong with the game you submitted it gets deleted. With this many participants we can't chase after everyone.
  2. No comment on this thread = not invited to join/re-join the group.
  3. Any idle time (e.g. idleing for cards, answering the phone/door, looking up solutions, etc..while the game is still running) needs to be added to the time before the month. We want to have times that are as "clean" as possible for the leaderboard. Any time that is higher than 2x HLTB time will be considered as abnormally high and will raise questions.
  4. If we ask for proof that a game fits a certain category, please link the appropriate proof (e.g. screenshots, explanation, videos, etc.) in the notes section of the game entry on the event page. Same goes for the ending screenshots for games without achievements.
  5. DLC: I've won/bought a story DLC, can I (re-)play the game? If the DLC has achievements go ahead. If it has an ending achievement reaching that is enough. If there is no ending achievement you will need to complete all DLC achievements for it to count. If you have more than one story DLC then you can play each one as separate entry for different months as long as either the main game or DLC fits the theme. Please only add the main game to the event page and note in the notes section that you are going for DLC achievements.
  6. I've won a game bundle. Do I have to play all games for it to count? If the bundle gives you several games with different steam ID's feel free to play them one by one.
    If it gives you one bundle of games with one steam ID then it depends. Do they each have achievements of their own (including an ending achievement)? Then go ahead and play them separately. Though make a note in the notes section, so we know what to look for. Non achievement games or games that play continuously (e.g. all entries play through without an ending between them) are not allowed atm since we do not have a good way to track them separately.
  7. If my games does not have an ending/campaign what do I need to do for it to count as beaten? For this we have two different things you can pick from: either the average HLTB time or 25% achievements reached.
  8. The event officially opens at 00:00 UTC, any playtime/achivements before that won't be counted.

Theme for May

Wow, I'm having trouble finding a fitting game, that's new. Got to dig deep.
(From my whole library I have 4 underground games, 19 underwater, 1 spaceships, these tags are narrow lol.)

Found some that will be a big mountain to climb, hopefully I'll succeed with at least one. They are relatively short on the main story, but as I usually go for highest possible exploration and such, they will likely be a lot longer.

well there is the special subtheme:
Any unplayed game (win or backlog) but you have to complete it (any game is okay here, even from backlog, but it needs to be completed (all achivements done) for it to count)

might find something to fit in there

Thanks!
Took a better look, and found a few. Who would have thought Sunless Sea has "water, ocean, sea, or lake" in its title? :D
(Sometimes I'm ridiculously bad at searching for an applicable criteria, focusing on one option too much and ignore the obvious other. Like Salt and Sanctuary may not have an exploration tag, but it has a difficult one - not surprisingly)

Oh, thank you for the tips! Guess I just saw "main character is an Oyster" and couldn't think of any game, so I though that its gonna be harder a bit. But now seeing 1/2 of my games fitting without problems, I feel kinda dumb for overreacting :D

for games with no achievement, you just need to provide a screenshot on the completion screen.
however, achievements are needed for subthemes that require completion, so make sure to submit games with achievement in that case.

(if it's not clear enough, it's fine to submit Jack Orlando: Director's Cut with 4 word title as long as you provide a screenshot upon completion)

"Games where the main character is an Oyster". Happy April Fools to you too, I guess. ;P

Anyhow, I intend to 100% all of these anyway, but just to cover my bases I'll try to pick broader categories when possible:
Dabado Puzzles is tagged as Difficult.
Pikuniku is tagged as Exploration.

And for the special sub-theme since they don't fit the other categories: Felix The Reaper and Spyro Reignited Trilogy (kinda odd that this one isn't tagged as Open World or Exploration ^_^' ).

Sorry it took me until the last moment to update everything. >.<

Finished Felix The Reaper and Dabado Puzzles.

Annnd then had some major scheduling slip-ups. Turns out playing a different game every week consistently is... kinda hard. Was constantly busy and/or low on energy the last two weeks so I decided to leave Spyro Reignited Trilogy for next month to preserve however little sanity I might have. T.T

Managed to do Pikuniku the last few days though. Although not to 100% because it turns out the game has co-op with achievements that require it and said co-op requires a controller. So... yeah, I didn't wanna delay this even further while I try to find a reliable looking controller emulator... ^_^'

Comment has been collapsed.

I ended up using steam link (aka Steam remote play) on a tablet in place of a controller to complete Pikuniku, since for some reason my controller just wouldn't work with co-op (even if it worked fine in single player), it was awkward at first, but once I got the hang of it I completed the achievements easily enough... of course if you find a better alternative, well much better.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar (Open World)
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare (Difficult)
Darkwood (Exploration)
DiRT Rally (Open World and Difficult)

If you want to add a non win this month it needs to be an unplayed game with achievements and you need to complete it (get all achievements).

we actually questioned if they even knew games where you play an Oyster. Didn't get an answer back then so probably wouldn't still.

You should post that as a reply to samwise's comment, makes it a bit easier to find your comment if needed. :D

Also I don't think your game fits under the category you picked, I don't see it having either Exploration or Underground as a tag in the store. If you want to play that one, you'll need to put it under another subtheme. It would at least fit "Games with hidden achievements and you got them all!" Keeping in mind that you'd need to get the hidden achievements first before the game is accepted.
If you're not completely set on playing Aegis no matter what, then for example you could play "The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game" which does have the 'Exploration' tag in the store.

In any case, welcome to the event! :D

You can, but I don't think anyone's going to "punish" you for keeping the comment where it is now. Just thought it worth mentioning for next time. :P

Roger that! 🤗 I think I will modify my game then, and go for that. I believe it's a lot shorter. 🤔

yeah those frog games are short. Have fun with it. If you manage to get all 11? (actually 14 i never counted before so idk where I got 11 from) hidden achievements for aegis you can always add it then. I assume its story related as thats what other games do so if you plan to beat it, you might unknowingly make it fit. You will want to add them to the site once you are done so it can be confirmed as played and access to the group+giveaways

I see, I've not completely read the whole topic, I just wanted to take part in the challenge, so I can have more reasons to complete my won games.

Welcome and that is very commendable. This is one of the reasons we make this event every month so we give people incentive to actually take a look at their wins and beat them ;)

well this is one of the best times to join. Even if you aren't an achievement hunter I'm sure everyone has some super easy/short game to complete. Great chance for people with lots of wins to take chance with non wins or even fit in wins that are basically impossible to fit anywhere

I've been here since Mouse took over so over 3 years now so yes very active. Original people have their 3rd owner in Sam, hopefully I dont get my 3rd. Only missed 2 months when my laptop died, was right when the website got made so you can see a nice gap between June and September. It was also during a time of me doing play or pay (which I saw your response for) that was an interesting rush

i don't want to enter too many groups, because I can't do giveaways to all of them in just a month and that may be financially a bit tiring. I'm part of 2 amazing ones, and I'm considering if I can enter others, as I want to respect a positive ratio. It's difficult when they flood you with games in your wishlist that you want. 😅

you shouldn't be forced to enter a group to make giveaways. but again, there isn't much that you can do if you join the steam group aside from entering and creating giveaways. you can try joining the discord if you want some interaction instead :)

Well I do want to contribute to them and it's easy to get into the habit of entering giveaways you want and then you look at your ratio, after you won them, and say: "Oh no! I messed up!"

Well noone is forced to give anything back here. There will always be GAs done by me as long as I still have keys left to give (or money to buy some 😅). Though a lot of people like to also offer GA's for the event, I never expect any, but am pleasently surprised every month about the generosity of our members. At one point it went so far that I had to restrict it to 30 GA's max per month because the scrolling down the page got tiresome 😅

So this whole thing is more or less a Group? It's quite interesting to see that.

PS: I just finished the game. Was and is a WTF kind of game. 🤣

well yes and no, we do have a group that you can be addmited to if you have beaten one of your wins, but it is not mandatory to join, though some members like to include the group in their non-event GA's. The event GA's are accessible to anyone who beats a game in that month. And beating at least one of your wins (or backlog games if you don't have any wins) is the only hurdle you must pass to get access. Group membership is not mandatory.

I see, so, whenever I finish a game I listed here, I can update my records in the website and they get checked by you and other team members, if I understood right, please let me know. 😃

I may ask quite a few questions as I take part in this events as I get the hang of things. Thank you for your understanding and I hope it's not much of a hassle.

And yes exactly like that. We usually update during the evening/night CET, it kinda depends on when I have to work (working rotating shifts) and how tired I am after work. We try to do it daily, but there might be some days missed depending on my workload, but should never be more than 1.

And questions are always welcome. We also have a new discord server (you can find the address in the OP) where you will always find members online that like to help :)

I tend to only give back to groups if I win from them. So groups like this or play or pay where the goal is to play no one should feel the need to give. I've been giving a couple of games to masafors friends group lately but that's simply because well I did win (I kept my 1/1 ratio) but the money difference is destroying me. Bring it up a little and then I can only focus on this group again

Heya, I often concidered joining these events as it seems like a fun idea a nice community. I recently got my Steam Deck and now started to seriously attack my SG-Backlog on it, so I´m intressted to give this a try.

I just read through the event-rules though, and read that "Anyone who does not have any unactivated wins, multiple wins or a VAC ban" is allowed to join. Well, the truth is that in my early days of SG, 9 Years ago, I managed to win a game twice. I contatcted the GA-creator of the second win to ask him, if he is okay with me giving it to a friend or if he wants to reroll. It was okay for him, but much later I got reported by someone and got a temporary suspension.
There was no ill intent, but I really should´ve read the rules, so was completely my own fault. I actually like how the SG-rules are set up.

Am I allowed to participate unter those circumstances or do I have to keep living as an outcast for a mistake I made almost a decade ago? 🤣
I´ll of course accept your descision, no hard feelings either way. Cheers!

another noob question: is there a benefit to submitting more than one game to this event? like do you get more chances in the giveaways if you've beaten multiple games?

Comment has been collapsed.

No extra chances as sg only lets you enter once. All giveaways are open as soon as you beat 1 game no matter the length, so there's no hidden complete more to enter more.
People play more games because they like playing games. For people who are here for giveaways then they can just play one and be done

I'm going to play NUC: After the Blast this month (Open World). Love these events!

For future reference, I have a question about how tags work here. Example: I have a game with spaceships but it doesn't have the 'Spaceship' tag on its Steam page. Would that have been acceptable for this event or not?

Tag categories are only for games that have the tag.

I have a question: is there a way to withdraw for this month?

I'm very busy with a large project, so playing the game feels like a chore when my free time is very limited and I would rather spend it doing other things. Theoretically, I can finish the game since it's relatively short, but I would rather play it because I want to, not because I have to.

I believe you can just leave the game as unfinished. 😉

You are never forced to play any entry you make. If you do not have the time don't play it. You can keep it as an event entry or delete it, that's totally up to you. Maybe you get inspired and will finish it anyways 🤷🏻‍♀️
Also good luck on your project.

This is fun! I'm having a blast playing a game I won this month here in SteamGifts (Wargroove). There's no chance I'll finish it before the turn of the month but I'm still having fun and for me that's what matters most :)

I am glad you are having fun. If you do not have any short games in your wins, you might find something in your backlog (needs to be unplayed, with achievements and you have to get all of those for it to qualify), since we have a special category for these this time around.

Hmmm do you mean in my backlog that I finished this month, or in my backlog that I both started and finished this month? I finished "The Last Tinker" this month but that was just a regular GOG purchase, not a game won on SG unfortunately :/

your regular steam backlog. If you have any game that you started and completed (gotten all the achievements) this month you could add that under the completion category. Or you could start and finish a quick one in the last few days ;)
Doesn't have to be a win for that special category

Gotcha - thank you for the explainer, that helps to understand how that works. I don't think I'll have any game that qualifies, but I can time my next SG-won game properly so it qualifies. Thank you for taking your time to explain it! :)

Keep in mind though the backlog completion category isn't a thing every month, so check the subthemes carefully ;)

Also if you ever need help in finding game fitting a category, just ask here. Usually there are always helpful people around ;)

Hi fernandopa! If you want to follow samwise84's recommendation, I saw that you have some games that can be completed in up to five hours (according to HLTB), like The Culling Of The Cows, WRATH: Aeon of Ruin, Western Press, Size Matters, Voidigo, Vane and so on.

Remembering that one of April's possibilities is to complete ANY game in your backlog (in other words, get 100% of achievements). If in doubt, you can look on the event page for the games chosen by other players. : )
