'The Fall' Free On Epic Games Store, 'Creature in the Well' Next Week

by Rainier on March 18, 2021 @ 12:15 p.m. PDT

For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering one title for free: The Fall.

Inspired by titles such as Super Metroid and Monkey Island, The Fall is a  cinematic platformer where players explore their environments and solve several traditional adventure game puzzles.

The Fall is about ARID, an artificial intelligence on-board a futuristic combat suit. When ARID is activated and finds that her human pilot is unconscious and in desperate need of medical help, ARID's directive is clear - take her pilot to medical attention. As she struggles to help her non-responsive friend, she finds herself in a unique and bizarre situation that causes her to question her rigid relationship to her protocols and, ultimately, her self-understanding.  Players of The Fall will find themselves thinking, exploring, and sometimes fighting with the world and its unusual inhabitants.

Once The Fall, the current free game on the Epic Games Store, has runs its course, it will be up to Creature in the Well, which will be gratis starting March 25 until April 1, 2021.

Creature in the Well is an adventure in which players must unlock the power of an ancient facility and face the ominous all-seeing Creature.

Creature in the Well is a top-down, pinball-inspired, hack-and-slash dungeon crawler.
