The Epic Games Store's Mega Sale promotion is in its final week, and that means mystery giveaways are soon ending too. For the finale, Epic Games has called in something big from Bethesda, with the Arkane-developed time loop adventure Deathloop coming in as the latest freebie for PC gamers. Alongside it, the indie adventure Ogu and the Secret Forest is also free.
Developed by Arkane Lyon and published by Bethesda, Deathloop comes in touting an action-packed campaign involving plenty of time travel shenanigans. The game is set on the mysterious island of Blackreef, where two rival assassins, Colt and Julianna, are trapped in a time loop. The player, as Colt, has to figure out how to eliminate eight targets within a single day to escape the loop.
Each of the assassinations can be taken care of in many ways, including stealth, traps, accidents, or simply going in guns blazing. Aside from gunplay, the title also makes use of supernatural systems very similar to the studio's Dishonored franchise, letting players teleport, go invisible, use telekinesis, and more. There is a multiplayer twist here too, where players, as Julianna, can invade the campaigns of others to take the role of the rival assassin, flipping the tables on the main character and his plans.
As for Ogu and the Secret Forest, this is a 2024-released indie adventure featuring hand-drawn characters and various types of puzzles. The 2D game involves befriending characters across a fantasy land as baby Ogu, with plenty of exploration, puzzle solving, and boss battles available.
The Deathloop and Ogu and the Secret Forest giveaways are now live on the Epic Games Store for all PC gamers. The promotion is slated to last until June 12, giving you seven days to claim a copy for your library permanently.
While the summer mystery giveaways are ending, regular freebies will continue to arrive from the Epic Games Store. When this one comes to an end on Thursday, the SEGA-published humorous hospital simulation entry Two Point Hospital is incoming as the next giveaway.
