Upcoming Steam Freebie Gives Players a Retro Monster Taming RPG

Developer Yanako RPGs has confirmed that retro monster-taming RPG Dokimon Quest will be available as a free-to-keep game on Steam for 48 hours starting August 24.

As reported by Game Rant, Steam users are getting a nice addition to their backlog later this month. Developer Yanako RPGs has announced that their monster taming adventure, Dokimon Quest, will be free to keep on Steam starting August 24 at 10:00 AM. The catch is that the promotion only lasts for 48 hours, giving players a tight window to add the normally seven-dollar title to their library permanently.

For anyone looking for a nostalgia fix, Dokimon Quest leans heavily into the retro aesthetic of classic Game Boy Color monster RPGs. The game features over 140 creatures to collect, rare variants that function like shinies, and the ability to battle and capture monsters from other trainers. It also offers around fifteen to twenty hours of story content alongside customizable retro color palettes, making it a solid pickup for fans of creature collection mechanics.

August has been a bit quiet for permanent Steam giveaways following promotions for games like Deponia and Moonlighter, so this indie spotlight is a welcome change. Players who want to expand their digital libraries should also keep an eye on external community hubs, as platforms like the Legion Gaming Community are rolling out keys for narrative hits like The Walking Dead and Before Your Eyes over the coming weeks.
