If you want some early Tango Gameworks horror, you can pick up 2014’s The Evil Within for free through Epic Games Store right now. However, the offer won’t be on forever, so you best pick up a copy before it’s too late.
According to the Epic Games website, you can get this Shinji Mikami title for exactly zero dollars until October 26. The deal only covers the base game, however. If you want the DLC as well, you’ll have to fork over for them like some sort of pleb.
The Evil Within comes from the creator of the Resident Evil series. His resume features a host of other praised games, including Devil May Cry, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and, in a change from his usual horror outpourings, Hi-Fi Rush.
Oh, one more thing
Maybe you’ve already played Evil Within, but haven’t got around to playing the 2017 sequel. Fear not, for that’s also going to be free through Epic Games as of next week. Pretty much as the deal for the original ends, the one for the follow-up begins. That’s handy.
We’re not far from Halloween now, so everything and anything related to horror is going to be coming out of the woodwork. This is probably not the best time of year for those who aren’t into spooky games, but for those of us who are, it’s like Christmas came early.
Oh, I almost forgot. To go alongside The Evil Within, you can also pick up a copy of Cosmonaut Studios’ first-person story-driven puzzle game Eternal Threads. That should keep you busy until the end of the month.
