'Watch Dogs' And 'The Stanley Parable' Free On Epic Games Store, 'Figment' And 'Tormentor x Punisher' Next Week

by Rainier on March 19, 2020 @ 10:08 a.m. PDT

For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering two titles for free: Watch Dogs and The Stanley Parable.

Watch Dogs

Watch Dogs is an open-world action-adventure in which players enter the dangerous world of Aiden Pearce, a new class of antihero whose ability to hack into any connected system could be his most powerful weapon.

All it takes is the swipe of a finger. We connect with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and gear. We find out what’s happening in the world. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an increasingly expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it’s not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.

In Watch_Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (ctOS) – and it controls almost every piece of the city’s technology and holds key information on all of the city’s residents.

You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and former thug, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy.  Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to the city’s network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy…and more.

Use the city of Chicago as your ultimate weapon and exact your own style of revenge.

Once Watch Dogs and The Stanley Parable, the current free games on the Epic Games Store, have run their course, it will be up to Figment and Tormentor x Punisher, which will both be gratis starting March 19 until March 26, 2020.

Figment

Figment is an action-adventure game that invites you to explore a unique surreal universe filled with music, humor and multi layered narrative.

A musical action-adventure set in the recesses of the human mind...

Welcome to the world of Figment. A strange and surreal world; a place filled with our deepest thoughts, urges and memories, populated by the many voices we hear in our heads.

This mind has been quiet and calm for many years. But something has changed. New thoughts have started to emerge - taking the shape of nightmarish creatures who spread fear wherever they go.

Key Features

  • A whimsical hand-drawn world
  • Enjoy a full score of musical performances
  • Fight nightmares head-on
  • Use both brawn and brain

Tormentor x Punisher

Welcome to Planet Fuck You!

It's a real planet, look it up.

Everything in Tormentor❌Punisher can be killed in one hit, including bosses and yourself. Bosses change the shape of the arena, conjuring rooms and traps to make it more hellish and brutal. Demons adjust to your play style and punish you accordingly. Explore and discover new ways of killing enemies to gain cool upgrades. Reload your machine gun by firing your shotgun. Yeah, you read that right.

Kill, destroy, fuck up demons, rack up combos, get upgrades by performing unique kills, and try to survive the constant onslaught. Oh, and look good to your friends by smashing their scores on the leaderboards.

Got It? Good. Let's Fucking Do This!

Key Features:

  • Fast-paced gameplay that will make the bones in your hands shatter!!!
  • Random order boss spawns featuring fun champions such as BIGBONES, GUTSHANK and PRIESTESS!
  • Leaderboards to prove you're better than the rest of the world, or at least your friends!

  • Intense sound design with gurgling demons and all that shit!
  • Crunchy comic book-inspired visuals!

The Stanley Parable

The Stanley Parable is a first person exploration game. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will have a choice, you will have no choice.

The game will end, the game will never end. Contradiction follows contradiction, the rules of how games should work are broken, then broken again. This world was not made for you to understand.

But as you explore, slowly, meaning begins to arise, the paradoxes might start to make sense, perhaps you are powerful after all. The game is not here to fight you; it is inviting you to dance.
