While the Epic Store is receiving… shall I say… mixed responses all over the internet lately, we mustn’t forget that the client does toss us a free game every now and then. I finally got to play the fantastic Subnautica a few weeks back with my wallet left untouched, and the indie gem that is Oxenfree is now up for grabs free of charge.
In Oxenfree you play as a young girl named Alex, who becomes plagued by supernatural forces while chilling at a weekend getaway with her friend Ren, and her stepbrother Jonas. What follows is a spooky adventure as supernatural entities decide to haunt the trio based on their worst fears. Indeed, the game gets pretty spooky at times.
Moreover, the outcomes of Oxenfree is highly reactive to the dialogue choices you make as Alex talks to her two companions. The graphics are also highly stylised, and truly beautiful to look at for the most the most part. If you are pro Epic Store, go ahead and give it a try, otherwise, you can go on lambasting everything Epic while enjoying a free game anyway.
Last but not least, The Witness will be made available for free on the Epic Store on April 4th!
Pieter hails all the way from the tip of southern Africa and suffers from serious PC technophilia. Therapists say it is incurable. Now he has to remind himself constantly that gaming doesn’t count as a religion even if DRM is the devil. Thankfully, writing reviews sometimes helps with the worst symptoms.
Thanks Epic
Still not buying anything from you though.

The game is on Steam, just buy it there instead of the Epic store. Downloading games without paying would just end up hurting our beloved platform. Now on the other hand if a game is a full Epic store exclusive – then you bust out the pirate ships. That hurts the Epic store sales but not the PC platform as a whole.
I got Oxenfree free on GOG (I wish I didn’t). I guess I hurt Steam this way lol.
watch out we have badass over here
Oxenfree ain’t free enough if you had to give the Epic Store your credit card. I’ll wait until a Steam sale before I give any personal information to that company.
You don’t have to give your credit card details to get free games on it but they are going to Spy on your Steam account and God knows what else as payment.
The 1st Great Chinese Invasion to the PC market , is well underway.
Steam Vs Epic. USA Vs CHINA. Cold War 2.
Let the battle of domination begin
good game, you cant miss it !
“But games are too expensive to make so we have to monetize.”
Curious because AAA seems to have plenty of money for everything else.
Where’s the GoG love? They have some free games too just as cheesy as Oxenfree. At least I can launch games properly, from their .exe without the need for Galaxy to be installed and launching NEEDLESSLY in the background.
Oxenfree was free on GOG on December 2017.
Anything to grab the attention of the simple minded.
Thanks
