Epic has launched its latest free PC games, featuring a timeless classic.
This week, the Epic Games Store is giving away two fantastic PC games for free. You can snag a classic that has shaped the gaming landscape, along with an intriguing visual novel, all at no cost.
System Shock 2 is a legendary title and a cornerstone of the immersive sim genre. Co-developed by Irrational Games, it set the stage in 1999 for future hits like BioShock in 2007. This game blends first-person shooting, survival horror, and RPG elements as players navigate a spaceship teeming with monsters and robots. The anniversary edition enhances the experience with cross-play co-op, visual improvements, and mod support.
Buried Stars presents a gripping locked-room murder mystery, where the “locked room” is a chaotic pile of debris. Following a studio collapse during a live reality show, contestants and crew find themselves trapped and must unravel a murder while trying to escape. They utilize social media to connect with the outside world and gather vital clues. With branching paths and multiple endings, Buried Stars encourages players to dive in for several playthroughs.
If System Shock 2 and Buried Stars pique your interest, simply log in to the Epic Games Store to claim them. These titles will be available for free until Thursday, Oct. 8, at 11 a.m. EDT.
