David Bowie was perfectly cast in dual roles as an all-digital techno-revolutionary and a space-age rock star in Quantic Dream's 1999 game, Omikron: The Nomad Soul. Now, publisher Square Enix is celebrating the late, great musician's life and work by handing out free copies of the game.

There's no catch, but the offer only runs until Jan. 22 and the game is only available for Windows machines. The good news is you won't need a particularly powerful PC to run this 17-year-old game. Even if the machine you're using is a decade old, you likely still have all you need to play Omikron.

To get the game, head to this link for the Square Enix store if you're in North America or this link if you're in Europe. Then, just add the game to your card and use the coupon code "omikron" to claim your freebie.
