The digital gift shop is back, and this week, the Epic Games Store is treating its community to a spectacular lineup of free titles. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to expand your library or dive into some absolute classics, now is the perfect time to claim your share.
This week’s offerings include two wildly different gems: the energetic co-op beat ’em up River City Girls 2 and the legendary, deeply unsettling classic I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream.
Available to add to your library from today at 4PM until next Thursday the 9th of July, these titles are completely free to claim and will remain yours forever.
First up is River City Girls 2, a vibrant side-scrolling beat ’em up that channels the chaotic fun of old-school arcade classics. As a spin-off from the beloved River City franchise, this sequel expands the action by introducing exciting 4-player co-op gameplay. While the game faced some snags during its initial launch, it remains a fantastic choice for teaming up with friends and getting into some high-octane action.
Then there is a complete tonal shift: I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. This isn’t just a game; it’s an unforgettable piece of interactive literature. Based on Harlan Ellison’s iconic 1967 short story, the point-and-click adventure plunges players into an existential nightmare centered around a malevolent AI computer known as AM. The creative process for this adaptation was unique, involving direct collaboration with Ellison, who not only wrote the game’s extensive script but also provided his voice to the primary antagonist.
Whether you’re looking for high-energy co-op mayhem or a mind-bending descent into digital horror, this week offers something for every taste. Don’t miss the opportunity to bring these unique experiences into your collection before the free period ends.
