Steam unexpectedly drops a mysterious midweek sale

Over 40 games

We think we know what to expect from Steam at this point — big summer sale, big holiday sale. Dropping a random four day sale in February is a bit of an enigma, a mystery if you will.

That’s perfectly suitable given that the theme for this discountapalooza is “mystery games.” There are over 40 titles with their prices slashed, just waiting for someone to try to unravel the secrets within. But, on February 13, everything reverts back to normal as this sale vanishes without a trace.
