PC gamers know: Thursday is synonymous with giveaways on the Epic Games Store. This time again, the platform is keeping its word by offering two free games to keep for life. But be careful: the offer ends February 19 at 4:59 p.m. (French time). After this deadline, the titles will be replaced by a new selection. Simply add them to your account — even without downloading them immediately — to keep them permanently in your game library.
A humorous paranormal investigation
First game offered: The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark. This independent point-and-click takes you back into the strange affairs of Inspector Francis McQueen and his partner Dooley. Between supernatural phenomena, absurd dialogues and deliberately offbeat humor, the game cultivates a light tone while offering real, well-constructed puzzles.
This second episode significantly improves the formula of the first opus: more rhythmic narration, refined mechanics and more elaborate staging. Lovers of retro adventures and pixel art will find a real gem here.
A dystopian thriller on the border of narrative FPS
Change of atmosphere with Nobody Wants to Diea much darker title. The game takes you to a futuristic New York where immortality has a price… and where a serial killer leaves behind enigmatic crime scenes. A mix of FPS and narrative investigation, it focuses more on atmosphere and moral choices than on pure action. The visual universe immediately evokes neo-noir cinema and dystopian science fiction. Each decision influences your progress, which reinforces immersion and makes you want to explore several possible outcomes.
The next free games already announced
As always, the Epic Games Store leaves no room for suspense: the next rotation will begin February 19 at 5 p.m..
- Return to Ashan emotional visual novel centered on the hospital stay of a young woman
- STALCRAFT X – Starter Editionan MMOFPS taking place in the Chernobyl zone
A new selection which confirms Epic’s strategy: alternating between narrative experiences, independent games and more ambitious multiplayer titles.
Why these offers remain essential
Even if you don’t have time to play it right away, these weekly offers are a great way to expand your library without spending a dime. Two radically different styles, two complementary experiences, and only one constraint: don’t forget to click before the countdown ends. PC players therefore have a few days to act.
