The 2020s decade is being marked by the free games that stores and various services give or lend us for very little money. Xbox Game Pass offers 300 games available for less than 15 euros per month, while the Epic Games Store gives away two games weekly without asking for anything in return, and this trend could continue for a good while.
Today, we are going to focus on the games given away by the store of the creators of Fortnite, the Epic Games Store. This week, they are back with a Halloween theme after giving away the first The Evil Within last week.
You have until November 2nd to get The Evil Within 2 for free
Released in 2017, The Evil Within 2 is the sequel to the acclaimed horror game developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks (now owned by Microsoft). The first game was given away by the Epic Games Store last week. Here’s a quick summary of the second installment:
“Detective Sebastian Castellanos has lost it all… but when he’s given a chance to save his daughter, Sebastian must descend once more into the nightmare world of STEM in The Evil Within 2. Horrifying threats emerge from every corner.” I can tell you’re eager to play.
Dreadful threats arise from every corner as the world twists and distorts around you. Therefore, you’ll have to face adversity with weapons, clever traps, and even evade danger stealthily in this thrilling sequel of horror and survival. Perfect for Halloween.
And it doesn’t come alone, Tandem: A Tale of Shadows
The other new game this week is Tandem: A Tale of Shadows, developed by Monochrome Paris and Hatinh Interactive. It blends top-down and side-scrolling perspectives to create a unique-looking platformer and puzzle game with distinctive gameplay.
“The award-winning Tandem: A Tale of Shadows features five beautifully crafted Victorian-inspired worlds influenced by Tim Burton, Jules Vernes, and Conan Doyle. Players have to carefully switch between Emma’s top-down view and Fenton’s side-scrolling view if they hope to escape alive from these dimensions,” they explain on their website.
As the duo navigates clever obstacles and menacing horrors, they uncover clues about the disappearance of Thomas, the peculiar Kane family, and their place in this universe. Will Emma and Fenton manage to escape the killer mansion filled with twists and surprises, or is their fate already sealed?
