Epic Free Games, October 19, 2023

If you are looking for some new games to play without spending a dime, you might want to check out the Epic Games Store’s free games this week. From October 19 to October 26, you can claim two titles for your collection: The Evil Within and Eternal Threads.

The Evil Within is a survival horror game from Tango Gameworks and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami. You play as Detective Sebastian Castellanos, who investigates a gruesome mass murder and finds himself trapped in a twisted world where hideous creatures roam. You will have to use limited resources, stealth, and weapons to survive and uncover the truth behind the evil. The game features a cinematic presentation, a dynamic environment, and a variety of enemies and bosses.

Eternal Threads is a puzzle game from Cosmonaut Studios that explores the themes of time manipulation, choice, and consequence. You follow the stories of six main characters who face different decisions across multiple timelines. You can experience these stories in any way you choose, such as focusing on one character at a time, working backwards from the outcomes, or watching things in chronological order. You can also change the decisions that the characters make and see how they affect the story.

Both games are well-reviewed by critics and players alike, and offer hours of fun and challenge. The Evil Within has a Metacritic score of 75/100, while Eternal Threads has a Steam rating of 9/10. Whether you are in the mood for some terrifying horror or some intriguing puzzles, you will find something to enjoy in these free games.

To claim these games, you will need an Epic Games Store account and the Epic Games Launcher installed on your PC. You can download them from the Epic Games Store website or from the launcher itself. Once you claim them, they will be yours to keep forever.

But hurry up, because these free games won’t last long. Next week, Epic Games Store will offer two new free games: Tandem: A Tale of Shadows and The Evil Within 2. Tandem: A Tale of Shadows is a puzzle-platformer game that follows a girl and her teddy bear on a quest to solve a mystery. The Evil Within 2 is a sequel to the first game that continues Sebastian’s journey in a new nightmare world.
