Arcadia Fallen can be claimed on Prime Gaming from Tuesday 24 November. It's one of the seven free PC games Amazon is giving Prime members this month, and it comes as a copy for the Amazon Games App. So no Steam key, and no GOG code either: Prime isn't handing out GOG codes at all in November.
As far as we've seen, Amazon hasn't published an end date, so we can't say how long you'll have after the 24th.
What kind of game it is
A fantasy visual novel with RPG elements, made by Galdra Studios. You play a young alchemist bound to an illegal soul, travelling with four unusual companions. You can befriend any of them or start a romance, and your decisions change the story and its ending. Steam users rate it Very Positive: 484 of 515 reviews, or 94%. It's fully voiced in English and Japanese.
Claiming it with Prime on the 24th
- Sign in to Prime Gaming with the Amazon account that holds your Prime subscription.
- Find Arcadia Fallen among the free games and claim it.
- Install the Amazon Games App and download the game from there.
You need an active Amazon Prime subscription; without it there's nothing to claim.
Amazon Games App or Steam: what changes
The Prime copy sits in Amazon's launcher, apart from your Steam library. You start it from there, and it won't show up next to the rest of your Steam games or on your Steam profile.
A Steam Key goes the other way. Open Steam, go to Games > Activate a Product on Steam, type the code and the game joins your library like anything else you've bought there. The Steam version also lists requirements for macOS and Linux, which matters if you don't play on Windows.
What the Steam Key costs this morning
Steam itself charges €20.99 (no fees). The cheapest key we found is at HRKGame: €2.65 with coupon Gocdkeys12 (€3.05 with fees), Steam Key. That's 69% under its historical median of €8.49 (no fees). It has been cheaper, though: this spring the key dipped below €2 (no fees).
Wait for Prime or pay about €3 now?
If you already pay for Prime, don't mind another launcher and are happy to hold off for two weeks, wait for the 24th and claim it. It won't cost you anything extra.
The key makes sense if you want the game in Steam with the rest of your collection, if you don't have Prime, or if you'd rather start it this week. We're talking about three euros with fees. And if it clicks with you, there's a sequel on PC too, Arcadia Fallen II.
Every shop is on the page to buy Arcadia Fallen key, and a price alert will email you if it heads back towards that spring low. For the rest of the month: WRC Generations (Epic) and Squirrel with a Gun (Amazon Games App) arrived on 5 November, Jurassic World Evolution 2 and Radiolight (Epic) follow on the 12th, and Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood and Clem (Epic) on the 19th. We ran the same Prime-or-Steam numbers for Squirrel with a Gun.
Prices checked on the morning of 9 November.
