 Hey! It's that day again! You know the one! The day where we get free
games. From that place. I think they call it Thursday. The day, I
mean. Not the place. That's called something different. I wonder
what's on tap this week?

    This is a weird one: it's got RPG mechanics, adventure
    game structure, deck-building, and aspects of a management
    sim all rolled into one, and then topped with a steampunk
    and horror aesthetic. Is it good? I've no idea. I'm not sure
    I'll ever find out either; it just feels too 'all-over-the-
    place', too experimental to make me want to rush out and
    play it. It's probably fine but I'll let others take the
    lead on this one.
 

That's a longshot, but I picked it up.

    The game describes itself as an 'online Idle RPG' and
    it has pop-ups asking players to rate the game. That's all I
    need to know. No thank you. This is mobile-style crap that
    has no place on PCs. I don't want it. Not even free.

Oof.  When I went to the giveaway it says it's an add-on and you have to get the game first.  Also that the price of the add on is normally $99 !!! Yeah those are some mobile whalers looking to sail on the PC seas.
