Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and Kingdom New Lands Free On Epic Games Store, Costume Quest 2 And Layers Of Fear 2 Next Week

by Rainier on Oct. 15, 2020 @ 2:55 p.m. PDT

For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering two titles for free: Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and Kingdom New Lands.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is the next installment in the first person survival horror series.

The year is 1899...

Wealthy industrialist Oswald Mandus awakes in his bed, wracked with fever and haunted by dreams of a dark and hellish engine. Tortured by visions of a disastrous expedition to Mexico, broken on the failing dreams of an industrial utopia, wracked with guilt and tropical disease, he wakes into a nightmare. The house is silent, the ground beneath him shaking at the will of some infernal machine: all he knows is that his children are in grave peril, and it is up to him to save them.

Once Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and Kingdom New Lands, the current free games on the Epic Games Store, have run their course, it will be up to Costume Quest 2 and Layers Of Fear 2which will be gratis starting October 22 until October 29, 2020.

Layers Of Fear 2

Set on a desolate ship, Layers of Fear 2 will rely on the claustrophobic, ever-changing environments to keep players in the dark, never knowing what horror to expect around every corner and through every door.

The feeling of uneasiness and terror will be enhanced by influences from classic cinematography ranging from the experimental works of Georges Méliès to the twists and turns used by Alfred Hitchcock.

The cameras are all focused on you; the center of the scene. Not just in character, you are the character. The part to play is singularly yours. Written just for you.You are met with silence. No barking orders from the director. No call to action that you need to become this version of yourself. The demand to act fills your mind, but the script pages hold no words.

Your past has helped to mold you into what you are, forced upon you the skills required to hone your craft. That same past has scraped deep furrowing scars into you, not on the outside where the world can see, but in a place buried so deep within that it has become shapeless. You push those memories down but let the experiences drive you into who, or what, you must play.

Darkness surrounds as you stand silently in the spotlight, the only sounds to be heard over your heartbeat are the distant breaking of waves against the hull and the sound of cameras pointed in your direction preserving this moment for eternity.

A deep and commanding voice rises from the distance. Act.

What part will you play?
