The Epic Games Store"s freebie offer is back with a brand-new selection. This week, the company has replaced the Botany Manor giveaway with a double drop, letting PC gamers grab copies of Nobody Wants to Die and The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark. Both are quite well-received games. As usual, you have seven days to add the two games permanently to your Epic Games Store library.
Beginning with Nobody Wants to Die, this is a first-person investigation adventure that takes players to the year 2329. Developed by Critical Hit Games, the game has you gathering evidence to solve a serial killer case in a futuristic New York City. Players will be using high-tech tools to recreate crimes in 3D space, interview characters with multiple dialog options, and find the killer in the end using the uncovered evidence.
"See through the eyes of Mortality Department Detective James Karra on his hunt for a serial killer who targets the city’s elite citizens," says the developer, describing the setting. "Investigate crime scenes using his time manipulation augmentation and advanced technology to reconstruct events leading up to each murder and uncover clues that lead to the horrifying truth behind the murders.
Next, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark lands as the latest entry to the point and click adventure series by developer Spooky Doorway. The pixel graphics experience has players heading to "America’s 34th most haunted city," Twin Lakes, to take on nine brand-new cases as Detective McQueen.
"Picking up after the events of The Darkside Detective, McQueen has to save his usually-present (in body, if not mind) sidekick Officer Dooley from the Darkside, so the two can get back to what they do best - investigating the city’s many strange, often paranormal, always paradoxical goings-on," adds the developer.
The Nobody Wants to Die and The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark giveaways are now live on the Epic Games Store. PC gamers can add the duo to their library for no cost during the seven-day timeframe before the next freebie arrives.
At the same time, over on its mobile store on Android and iOS, Epic Games is also giving away the mobile version of The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark, letting you jump into the adventure game while on the go.
