Spooky Cats Is Free on Steam Through Fanatical's Limited-Time Giveaway
Fanatical is giving away Steam keys for Spooky Cats, a 2D puzzle platformer with roughly 85% positive user reviews. The promotion runs until October 10 or until 50,000 keys are claimed, whichever comes first. To get a key, users must create a Fanatical account, link Steam, subscribe to the newsletter, and complete a 100% discount checkout.
Fanatical's giveaway for Spooky Cats is tied to its Fall Sale and caps distribution at 50,000 keys, so availability may end before the listed October 10 deadline. Claiming requires a Fanatical account, a linked Steam profile, newsletter signup, and a checkout at full discount. The linked Steam account must have made at least one successful purchase worth $5 or more.
The title is a stripped-down 2D platformer from 2015. Players guide a cat through a hostile, low-visibility world, pick up pennies, and try to rescue Penny. It mixes light combat—including a spinning attack—with puzzles. On Steam, it has over 400 user reviews, with more than 80% marked positive.
This giveaway may mainly affect budget-conscious PC players and fans of short indie platformers, giving them a low-risk way to try an older title. It could also draw attention to Fanatical's account-linking and newsletter model, nudging some users to share data or stay subscribed. For developers, such promotions may offer a visibility boost, though limited key counts and first-come rules mean the reach could stay modest.
