Another freebie offer has just landed on the Epic Games Store, and PC gamers can now claim a copy of Beyond Blue and Humankind to keep for free. The latest offer replaces the Undying freebie that had been active since last Thursday. As usual, you have seven days to add the latest games permanently to your library.
Developed by E-Line Media, the studio behind Never Alone, Beyond Blue comes in as a narrative adventure that takes you deep into the oceans of Earth. The story takes place in the future, putting you into the shoes of deep-sea explorer and scientist Mirai. You'll be taking eight dives into the deepest parts of the ocean while tracking various deep-sea creatures and hidden mysteries.
The title has been inspired by the BBC's Blue Planet II documentary series and takes a more educational route when it comes to exploring the depths and the lifeforms that live there. The developer had partnered with BBC Studios, OceanX, and ocean-related scientific experts when building the game as well.
At the same time, Humankind has landed as the second freebie of this promotion. Developed by Amplitude Studios of Endless fame, this is a 4X strategy experience similar in scope to the Civilization series.
As expected from a game in this genre, players will be choosing a civilization from a number of choices in the Neolithic Era and expanding it through the ages by constructing cities, developing relationships with other factions, combining with more cultures, and conquering rivals with tactical combat, if everything goes to plan, that is.
The new Beyond Blue and Humankind giveaways on the Epic Games Store is now live for Windows. The indie game usually costs $19.99 to purchase when it's not on sale. The giveaway will come to an end on Thursday, February 13 at 8 am PT.
