Except this time it's a two-fer. Two is always better than one when it comes to free games! Here's the two we get! * Witch It https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/witch-it-3624a9 A multiplayer hide-n-seek game. A bit too cutsey for my taste but very family friendly. The witches can hide as random objects and then use various spells to try and escape if discovered. The witch-hunters have a variety of abilities and tools that can help them detect and catch their quarry. Like any hide-n-seek game, the role of hunter and hider switches throughout the match. It's probably fun; it's just not what I'm looking for. * Ghostwire Tokyo https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/ghostwire-tokyo Another repeat from Epic (first offered December 2023), but that's okay; it's a game worth getting. Although mechanically it's a fairly ordinary open-world shooter, it has a great sense of atmosphere and place, and the monsters are weirdly intriguing. Its fantastic Tokyo is fun to explore too. Definitely a game worth adding to your library if you don't already have it. (There's a free soundtrack DLC too, if you want it) So there's a couple of nice treats for your bucket. You have a week to grab them before they're gone. Happy Halloween, all!
