I know pantaloon has been brought up repeatedly on here, but I wanted to see if anyone got their game today? This is the second month in a row I've had issues claiming the key even with me being on time. Last month I only got it fixed and got my key because I emailed them, and it was still hours later before getting my key. I get it's a free service and relatively new but it's just been issue after issue.

Ok mine also just went through. But I got the email around noonish. Hope they get this figured out.

I’m pretty sure last month you could still redeem it a day late. Would’ve been better if there were no issues at all, but hey, I’m getting a free game at the end of the day. Normally, there’s also an option to solve a puzzle to guarantee the key, but not this month for… reasons.

That's the issue I'm having though. Free is great and it let's me find new games I might not have found otherwise, I just wish it was more consistent.

Saw this thread, remembered that pantaloon existed, went to check my email and click on the link, and immediately got my key.
So thanks for the reminder XD

first key I have gotten from there, got it a few mins ago after someone alerted me it was working now.

will see if I can consistently get the games I want from it when they come around, if I can't will unbsub again.

It's real hit or miss. There's also no set time so you have to constantly check your email so they aren't out by the time you click it.

Normally they have puzzles you can do to guarantee a key. Otherwise, in my experience, keys go way too fast.

You won't just get the key randomly. You need to confirm your interest every month via an option available in the "random spam" you're already receiving.

I've gotten their keys when I remember to claim them day of, though yeah there was one case last month where they had to delay sending. I think it works pretty well considering what it is and also considering that Lenovo and Intel combined can't make much less frequent giveaways work properly.

I've had them work day of but I've also had where they've run out in an hour and I didn't receive an email till late. Like I said I think it's a great opportunity just wish it was consistent. I get it's probably a real small team though.

Been getting my key for months now. He's always figuring out better ways to handle the load, but the load becomes bigger every month

Hopefully it keeps getting better or he's able to get some help. I've liked the games I've received. It's cool to get ones I've never seen.

Maybe not as a thread but I've seen them mentioned a few times on here. Or maybe a thread that was deleted.

I also like Pantaloon. I know you have to be quick to claim the key. But, they are free keys, so I'm always happy when I get one. I always try to go in without expectations, so you can only be pleasantly surprised.

I am just finding out about this site. Sad I missed this one, as Vampire Therapist looks awesome (going straight to my wishlist), but also it is surprising they are giving away for free such a highly rated game that just came out last year.

For those who have been subscribed to them for longer, what other games have they given away in the past?

I know of the following games:

  • Bamboo EP
  • Four Last Things
  • Kona
  • Luckitown
  • Outshine
  • White Lavender

Thank you!

I see it is a bit of a mix of very obscure stuff and more well known ones. Four Last Things is an amazing (and popular) one to give away as well, but at least that one is a bit of an older release.

I can give you some examples of games I remember they gave away (this is not all of them):

Kona
Four Last Things
Outshine
Supermarket Times
KIDS
Death Crown

Thank you! Another person replied almost same time as you, but you mention a few other they didn't mention.

But yeah, from both your comments, I see it is a bit of a mix of very obscure stuff and more well known ones. Four Last Things stands out the most from those as an extremely well recieved, and somewhat popular game, but was released back in 2017, so not as surprising to see as Vampire Therapist.

join the discord so you'd get updates about any technical issue on key day

Ya that's what I need to do. They sent an email for technical issues last month but none this time.

I received mine earlier today. No problem at all opening the page or redeeming the key.

join their discord so you can get easy updates about the status of the keys and site. I've been claiming their keys since the start (through the puzzles and FCFS basis) and only last month they had big issues like this. There's also a discord ping when keys are about to be send ~30 minutes prior to the time

eh. Might as well make a comment.

Hello, Pantaloon discord mod here.

Not going to lie, it's very scuffy, especially these past 2 months when I thought things were looking up. January had the wrong email go out to non-primo and caused many users to receive "keys have ran out error". Then a correction email. And then the actual key email, which got 404'ed almost immediately for half a day (or more?) for server strain with pantaloon trying to fix it. After the server issues were fixed, no follow up email was sent to email subscribers to notify them of the 404 issue being resolved. This month, same issue, massive server strain (which pantaloon did a lot of recoding so hope it doesn't happen again) and it was fixed 4 hours after the initial email went out and it's smooth sailing. There may still be keys when I'm posting this.

I'm hoping things get better since I don't like seeing things (key delivery and the puzzles) being scuffy and I have some hope based on some information pantaloon shared in mod chat. Not ideal but the best solution is to join the discord for announcements and tickets.

Just an aside, as someone that has knowledge looking through the tickets, most people that complain in the server and in tickets about not getting keys is down to user error (spam, not verifying interest, or missed the cut off) and any others that do have problems can join the discord and have the issue resolved.

Thank you for commenting, glad to hear from someone who has experience from that end. I posted this mainly to see if anyone else was having issues or if it was on my end. Also glad to hear improvements are being made. As I've said overall I've really enjoyed the service and finding out about new games through the giveaways and other emails.I'll definitely check the discord in the future. Also that makes sense about the issues last month and today. My issues have been sorted both times and I sent emails saying thank you for getting things resolved. I understand it's a small team and issues are going to happen. I'm glad improvements are being made to cut down on problems. Thank you to you and the rest of the team for the free games.
