Until exactly what time can I claim the game for free?

Until 7:00 PM Paris time, this Wednesday, August 26. Steam shows 10:00 AM, but that's Pacific time. You need to click on "Get Dokimon Quest" before that deadline; installation can wait until after.

Does the game stay in my library after the offer ends?

Yes, absolutely. Once claimed for free, Dokimon Quest is yours permanently, just like any purchased game.

Is it compatible with Mac or Linux?

No, Dokimon Quest is Windows only. No Mac or Linux version is available at this time.

Is the game in French?

The interface and subtitles are in French, making the experience fully accessible to French speakers.

Why is there already a sequel if this game only came out in November 2024?

Dokimon Quest: II is already available in stores, which shows how quickly the franchise is developing after the launch of the first installment.

Dokimon Quest (€14.79) free to keep forever on Steam until 5 PM UTC

Steam is listing Dokimon Quest at 0 euros until 5 PM UTC on Wednesday, August 26 (7 PM CEST). This isn't a free trial: once claimed, the game stays in your library for good. Its regular price is €14.79.

The catch is always the same: you need to click the "Get Dokimon Quest" button on the Steam store page before the deadline. Installing can wait, claiming it can't. And the time Steam shows on the page, 10:00 AM, is Pacific: that is 5 PM UTC, 7 PM in Paris and Berlin, 6 PM in London.

It's a monster-capturing RPG from Yanako RPGs, released on November 22, 2024, that fully embraces its Game Boy Color aesthetic. Over 140 Dokimon, more than 15 towns across the Xelos region, and a plot built around a missing childhood friend. Windows only, no Mac or Linux. Interface and subtitles are available in English, French, Japanese, Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese — there is no voice acting.

At €14.79, it was already a complete game rather than a stretched-out demo. At zero, the choice is easy for anyone who's ever worn out a Pokémon cartridge on Game Boy. And the sequel, Dokimon Quest: II, is already available in stores.
