As promised, Epic Games and Thekla are currently offering The Witness for free on the Epic Games Store. This free offer will last until April 18th and those that will acquire their free copy will be able to keep the game theirs forever.
The Witness is a single-player game in an open world with dozens of locations to explore and over 500 puzzles. According to its description, this game respects you as an intelligent player and it treats your time as precious, meaning that it does not feature an filler content; each of those puzzles brings its own new idea into the mix.
It’s worth noting that the next free game on the Epic Games Store will be Transistor.
Those interested can get their free copy of The Witness by visiting its Epic Games Store page.
Have fun!

No, but thanks anyway!
Go ahead, punish yourself.
…what?
playing the game is punishing yourself. Play talos priniciple instead.
Nah, I’m good.
FYI if you don’t want to install the launcher due to Tencent spyware issues, you can login on their website to claim the game. I made my Epic account years ago when they gave away Shadow Complex for free, so I just add games this way.
Thanks for the FUD.
You still have to install it to actually play it though.
Sure but if I have an account already made and they’re offering free games I just grab them even if I’m never going to play them.
That’s what I’m doing. :p
Transistor is up next. Great game.
Ya, I’ve got Transistor on Steam already and it’s great.
Will download and give a try.
I wont spit on free…
Remember when EA and Ubisoft did this?
Yes and i also claimed there too, doesnt mean im using their launchers often.
Yes they were giving much better games.
Just be sure to spit on Tim Sweeney at checkout!
I wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire
In his case i would love to be able to spit acid on his greedy face
Dan ‘Xenomorph’ Senju. Game over, man!
I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time now. Don’t mind if I do. 🙂
all the puzzles are the same and has no story i would recommend talos principle instead.
Already finished Talos. Really liked that one.
Plus, this is free. Can’t pass that up.
I would call that an A for effort. They’re offering games for free you would have otherwise paid for.
To me, that says they’re choosing the right games.
I just did this because I wanted to try out Unreal Tournament any way and this game seems interesting, too. Consider your username well because you cannot change it, ever. Changing your username requires you to “verify your account” via email, and the verification email is never sent. This is a known issue since at least last year and Epic is ignoring it. There are hundreds of forum posts about it and no word from them. They don’t care.
I’ve been avoiding the anti-Epic band wagon so far because it struck me as being too positive towards Steam (which is overrated and I’d rather download patches manually than have to deal with *any* “launcher”) but Epic really do seem completely in over their heads with this thing. Zero customer support whatsoever.

GOG handles it well.
I am hoping Subnautica will be free again so I can tell my friends to get it. Right now I am playing it again, offline with great mods.
mods?
One of the most pretentious games ever made.
Feels novel to get a game on Epic Games Store for free without torrenting it. ?
Still the best puzzle game to this date ?
You can also play it for 4 bucks on Origin Access, along with about 80 other games. It has zero replay value anyway…
