The Epic Games Store is continuing its popular weekly giveaway tradition by offering two distinct and well-reviewed PC games at absolutely no cost to users. For a limited time, players can head over to the digital storefront to claim both a unique horror-puzzle adventure and a relaxing medieval city builder, adding two critically acclaimed titles to their libraries for the price of zero.
The ongoing promotion highlights a diverse pairing of games that cater to very different tastes, making it an attractive offering for both horror enthusiasts looking for something atmospheric ahead of Halloween and strategy fans seeking a more laid-back gaming experience. Both titles have already built up strong reputations within the PC gaming community, boasting overwhelmingly positive feedback from players on competing platforms like Steam before making their way into Epic’s current zero-dollar rotation.
Out of Sight
For gamers looking to lean into the tense, atmospheric mood of the autumn horror season, Out of Sight offers a genuinely distinct perspective on the genre. In this gripping horror puzzle adventure, players step into the shoes of Sophie, a young girl desperately trying to navigate her surroundings and escape from her unseen captors.
What sets Out of Sight apart from traditional survival horror titles is its core gameplay mechanic, which revolves around sensory limitation. Because Sophie is blind, she relies entirely on a trusted companion—her teddy bear—to perceive and interact with the world around her. When Sophie holds the teddy bear, the game shifts into a familiar first-person perspective, allowing her to take in her immediate environment. However, to solve complex environmental puzzles and progress through the narrative, players must strategically set the teddy bear down, leaving Sophie temporarily vulnerable and navigating the darkness on her own terms.
This innovative blend of vulnerability, tactile puzzle-solving, and psychological tension has struck a major chord with players. The game has accumulated more than 800 "Very Positive" user reviews on Steam, cementing its status as a standout indie horror experience that prioritizes atmosphere and clever mechanics over traditional jump scares.
TerraScape
On the opposite end of the emotional and mechanical spectrum sits TerraScape, a title designed for players who prefer to sit back, unwind, and exercise their strategic planning skills without the constant pressure of a ticking clock.
TerraScape is a medieval city builder that cleverly fuses traditional simulation mechanics with puzzle-solving elements. Rather than overwhelming players with sudden crises or strict time limits, the game encourages thoughtful layout design and creative placement. Players are given access to more than 40 individual buildings and 15 combination buildings, allowing for a high degree of architectural freedom as they construct thriving settlements across pastoral landscapes.
The title offers flexibility in how it can be experienced. Those seeking a solitary, meditative pastime can enjoy the game at their own leisurely pace, while players looking for a bit more friction can dive into cooperative modes or competitive multiplayer setups. In the competitive modes, participants go head-to-head to strategically position their structures and maximize their point accumulation. Like its companion offering this week, TerraScape has earned a strong following, pulling in more than 900 "Very Positive" reviews from players on Steam for its polished blend of city-building and puzzle mechanics.
PC users interested in adding either or both of these titles to their digital collections can do so by simply logging into their accounts on the Epic Games Store website or desktop application. The current promotional window is strictly limited, with both Out of Sight and TerraScape remaining free to claim until 11 a.m. EDT on Thursday, October 15. Once claimed within that timeframe, the games will remain permanently a part of the user’s library.
