- Gamers can get free video games every week from the Epic Games Store, with new titles releasing every Thursday at 10am CT.
- On October 26th, the newest free games will be Tandem: A Tale of Shadows and The Evil Within 2.
- Tandem: A Tale of Shadows is a gothic puzzle game with dark moments, while The Evil Within 2 is a highly rated survival horror game. Both have dark and gritty story elements that may not be suitable for all players.
October is the month best known for trick or treating, dressing up in scary costumes and watching horror movies. Just like the candy handed out to kids this time of year, gamers can get plenty of freebies from Epic Games Store every week. These free video games are featured every Thursday at 10am CT. The showcase also enters the season as the Epic Games Store titles for the week of Halloween are already known in advance and are expected to be something perfectly suited for the famous holiday.
Right now fans can grab Evil from within and The Eternal Threads for free with their Epic Games Store account, and it will remain until the games shut down next Thursday. It is strongly recommended that those who can take advantage of the promotion do so The Eternal Threads is the last general game for the next two weeks and Evil from within makes a great companion with Evil from within 2 and Tandem: A Tale of Shadows.
Epic Games Store Free Game Tandem: A Tale of Shadows Explained
Of the two propositions, Tandem: A Tale of Shadows is mostly fitting in terms of its gothic, creepy aesthetic more than being purposefully scary, but its narrative has its darker moments. Playing as little girl Emma and haunted teddy bear Fenton, fans must solve two different types of puzzles simultaneously to free the duo from mysterious dimensional dangers and solve the mystery of what happened to wizard Thomas Kane.
Inspired by the works of Jules Verne and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with a perfect hint of Nightmare Before Christmasown Tim Burton, Tandem invites players into a detailed and mystical world that is both beautiful and dangerous. While some may consider the game’s maps to be visibly messy, this puzzle game stands out on its own stylistic merits along with the risks it takes, and currently has a very positive reputation on Steam.
Epic Games Store Free Game The Evil Within 2 Explained
Evil from within 2 again sees players controlling Sebastian Castellanos as his daughter Lily has gone missing and the detective must face more terrifying threats to get her back. Headed by Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil, Evil from within 2 is one of the top-rated survival horror games of 2017 and is available to Epic Games Store users for free at the perfect time of year to experience it.
While some players may not want to play a sequel without having experienced the first game, luckily the deal is much sweeter if players take advantage of the current offers before October 26th, as Evil from within is currently available before Evil from within 2 takes its place. The Epic Games Store doesn’t do double-dipping deals very often, so players interested in survival horror games should definitely take advantage.
Like both Evil from within games feature very dark and gloomy storylines, players should certainly be careful when it comes to picking them up. If topics like infant death and suicide can bother them, then they can find Tandem: A Tale of Shadows more in their style, but also has some pretty dark twists of its own. Suffice it to say, those who might get upset easily might want to find a variety of games on the Epic Games Store to try next week if they don’t get busy The Eternal Threads to wait until October 26 and the following Epic Games Store free offers are announced.
