Two free games on Epic Store next week

Usually Epic Store releases one free game a week under their weekly free game promotion. Next week, July 25, Epic will release two free games at the same time. These games are Moonlighter—which, incidentally, was part of the July Humble Monthly Bundle— and This War of Mine.

Why two games next week? One of the games, This War of Mine is a M-rated title. This would prevent parents who have parental controls enabled on their Epic Client from benefiting from the Epic free weekly promotion.

Thus, Epic Games have taken the decision that any time a game is M-rated or PEGI-18 an alternative accessible game to players of all ages will be made available.

Moonlighter

Moonlighter is an action RPG game in which players manage their shop during the day and head out exploring at night. Profits from shop keeping allow the player to upgrade the town and add services like a Blacksmith. Loot can be gathered during the night when the player explores dungeons and battles hordes of enemies.

This War of Mine

This War of Mine is a war-survival game inspired by the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. You control a group of civilian survivors with the goal of surviving by collecting materials to help the survivors eat, sleep and stay healthy — sometimes having to make difficult decisions.
