Which free games can you claim from Epic Games right now?
According to Polygon and Neowin, the current lineup is Echo Generation Midnight Edition and Luto.
Echo Generation, from developer Cococucumber, is a turn-based adventure set in the 1990s. You lead a group of kids through Maple Town as they investigate a mysterious crash, battle supernatural foes, and dig into small-town secrets. The Midnight Edition adds enhanced visuals, fast travel, and a quest tracker. The game also includes more than 30 minigames and carries a Very Positive rating on Steam; a sequel arrived earlier this year.
Luto, from Broken Bird Games, is a first-person psychological horror game about isolation. You are trapped in a house you cannot leave, exploring a labyrinth of secrets and puzzles. The experience leans on atmosphere over cheap jump scares and includes a developer disclaimer covering anxiety, depression, and suicide. It also holds a Very Positive Steam rating with more than 1,100 player reviews.
