Does it require Uplay?

No

... because it's "Ubisoft Connect" now :v:

There's no way around it though - it's built in to the game like most Ubisoft titles and is going to be required no matter where you get a copy.

well you can just click the link on the website to add it to your account
but you can't actually download and play it without uplay (which got rebranded to "Ubisoft Connect" in the past few years)

You had to redeem it within Music Maker so you would have had to download and install it first if you didn't already have it.

I have never seen someone posting a key and getting an answer "thanks, I took it". A magical moment!

But it's probably only cause you can't redeem it on any major platform so bots can't claim it.

Godfall Challenger Edition and Prison Architect are out for free on Epic this week.

Having played Prison Architect since early access its a fun title I'd recommend to anyone with a building sim interest. It has had a lot of feature creep (mostly great) over the years to a point it caters for a lot of what can be in, have happen and be done in a prison environment - with the exception of sexual assault.
Everything from different prisoner grades & types, snitches, surveillance, escapes, riots, death row, gang wars, smuggling to rehabilitation, administration, prison jobs, mental health and playing as an escaping prisoner.
Sometimes though you will need to look at some guides to figure out how to correctly incorporate some features. If you've played Rimworld you will certainly find a lot of familiarity.

They register the code on a previously created account and sell it. Here, you can buy one for cheap:

Yeah, Nicalis sucks. But Cave Story is good. I don't know if this free game is any good though.

Yeah, I’ll probably skip this one on principle. gently caress Nicalis and and shame on any platform letting them milk stolen IP.

It appears to be some kind of top down thing too so its gameplay looks to be nothing like Cave Story.

I never played it, but is this not just a reskin/ripoff of Merry Gear Solid: Secret Santa?

edit: apparently somebody in the reviews noticed the same thing, so I'm guessing yes.

But they own the brand and are trying to make money off the IP.
Like that one terrible crossover fighting game they published that had a few Cave Story characters in it (plus Shovel Knight and Binding of Isaac's Isaac).
Of course they didn't pay Pixel anything for it

Figures; I bought that one on sale earlier this year. Apparently it was an incredibly well-reviewed game that did mediocre sales.

It's well-reviewed but it's very unique gameplay. If you play strategy games that kinda look similar to this you're used to it being about knowing the systems and iron man-ing the obstacles. In this one, you're told if you haven't saved for 30 seconds. Any wrong move means death, it's like a puzzle game in that regard.
