Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets.

The Epic Games Store began a giveaway for Botanicula this week, offering the point-and-click adventure by Amanita Design to keep for all PC gamers.

Coming from the makers behind Machinarium and Samorost series, Botanicula tells the story of five creatures attempting to save the last seed from their home from invading parasites. Set in a richly detailed tree environment, the hit title is focused on exploration as players progress through the whimsical story.

The Botanicula giveaway will last until Thursday, April 24. Next up, the Epic Games Store will be giving away CHUCHEL.

Humble deployed a brand-new bundle this week as well. The aptly named Return to Metroidvania bundle carries two games in the starting $5 tier, carrying Monster Sanctuary and Gato Roboto.

Shantae and the Seven Sirens, Islets, and Astalon: Tears of the Earth land in the second rung of the bundle, costing $10. The final tier that completes the bundle costs $14, adding the games Grime, Berserk Boy, and BioGun.

The bundle will come to an end in two weeks to make way for another collection of games.
