In celebration of this year's Steam Summer Sale (and the fact that I'm not broke for once), I'd like to create a gift train! However, there's a catch: you guys get to choose what games I give away. I want to make this more of a challenge and add at least a sort of game-type feature. So, I've added a few guidelines:

  1. Choose exactly 5 games. The combined price of these 5 games must be between $20 and $50 (American).
  2. Out of these 5 games, at least 1 must be non-bundled.
  3. You can choose any 5 games on Steam, on sale or not, except those more than $50 and those that cannot be given away on the site.
  4. Any mentions of Bad Rats on anyone's list could possibly be tallied up and thrown on the end of the train. Or, Bad Rats might show up in your inbox. I'm not sure yet. =D

I'll tally up the total after roughly 100 replies or about a week, whichever comes first. The top 5 games to be tallied up will compose the train. And I might as well fill up two or so slots with Bad Rats...just in case.

This is an experimental idea I literally came up with just now in my dazed, tired stupor between night shifts. I'd really like to see how this pans out, as I don't recall seeing many ideas like this here.

EDIT 1: Almost to 100 quality posts! Under 20 left before I add the final tally!
EDIT 2: We have 90 ballots in, with 13 Bad Rats! I've counted them all so far.

EDIT 3: The results are in! Our winners are:

  1. Crypt of the NecroDancer (14 votes, $3.74)
  2. Stardew Valley (13 votes, $11.99)
  3. Undertale (13 votes, $6.99)
  4. Darkest Dungeon (9 votes, $14.99)
  5. Invisible, Inc (9 votes, $6.79)
  6. 16 copies of Bad Rats! ($7.84)

I'll post the runners-up in the morning!

EDIT 4: Here's the runners-up!

  2. This War of Mine (8 votes, $4.99)
