SALES /PLAYER COUNT & DEALS

Rusty Lake Hotel, a game about dinner parties and murder, is free on Steam
https://www.pcgamer.com/rusty-lake-hotel-a-game-about-dinner-parties-and-murder-is-free-on-steam/
Rusty Lake Hotel is a surreal point-and-click adventure about a series of elegant dinner parties and the sophisticated diners who attend them. Your role, as a sort of ghostly maître d', is to ensure that all the guests are properly served, and I don't want to spoil things too much but I will say that if "served" in this context brings to mind a certain famous 1950s sci-fi short story, you're on the right track.
Hotel is the game that got me into the Rusty Lake/Cube Escape series, and it remains one of my favorites of the bunch. And now you can discover what it's all about yourself, for free: Until May 1, the full game is free for the taking on Steam.

GOG hasn't been able to hold it anymore and has already launched its Star Wars May 4th Sale. The sale comes with up to 75% discounts and will last until May 6th: https://www.gog.com/partner/star_wars

Steam has a new daily deal: Ratropolis is 33% off https://store.steampowered.com/app/1108370/Ratropolis/

And Fanatical has two new deals:
