Denis Blondel released FLAM: The Purge of the Century on 27 May 2022. The English store page prices it at free, lists Windows 7, 8, or 10 in 64-bit, and offers no macOS or Linux build. Language support is French with full French audio. Genres on the page are Action, Adventure, and Strategy. There are no Steam achievements and no cloud saves. On 11 November 2026 the store showed 11 reviews, 63% positive, labelled Mixed. Eleven reviews is a small sample; I print the label and the count together so “Mixed” is not read as a large poll.

The store description, which is in French, places the story in Paris in 2036: political collapse, a food and tax crisis, and a zombie virus called Satan 22. You play FLAM, a present-day vigilante taking orders from a colonel named Marco Banzini. Gameplay described on the page and in the release-day gameplay video is a third-person shooter with helicopters, animals, and cars, bikes, or scooters. Police and the army become hostile if you provoke them. I am not printing a control list. No manual on the store page names the keys, and I will not borrow a layout from a different shooter.

What the store actually says about hardware

The recommended block literally says 16 MB of RAM and 10 MB of disk. The minimum block says 8 GB and 10 GB; the publisher has not clarified the conflicting units. I leave the recommended line as the store wrote it, with this sentence beside it, instead of silently “correcting” a publisher’s page. The listed Windows 7/8 support is the publisher’s legacy requirement; Steam’s current client requires Windows 10 or later. No Deck result is inferred from EVAW’s separate compatibility report.

People land here from “flam steam free.” The free game is this one. FLAM EVAW is $9.99. Nothing on this site hosts an installer, an APK, or a cracked build of either game. The only store button is the official Steam page.
