What is Places?
Places is a free creative algorithmic reverb from Leit Audio with twelve spaces: six imagined Places and six familiar Reverbs.
They range from natural rooms and plates to shimmer and rising tones.
Controls are a place selector, REVERB, MIX and PRE-DELAY. The REVERB knob is tuned to each algorithm, affecting size, decay, density, tone, echo feedback or movement.
Pre-delay goes up to 500 ms. A free account is required; the page states no trials, no subscriptions and no in-plugin activation.

Per-algorithm REVERB

MIX

Pre-delay up to 500 ms
