This week, PC gamers can claim not just one, but two games for free, with the promotion running for the next seven days.
Arcade Paradise is a business simulation game set in the 1990s, where you manage an arcade and aim to make it a thriving business. You play as Ashley, who runs the family’s struggling laundromat business. The arcade cabinets in the backroom soon become the main source of income, and your task is to grow the business from there. Besides managing the business, you can also play the arcade games, some of which include cooperative play. Doug Cockle, the voice of Geralt from The Witcher franchise, voices Ashley's father, who offers "help" via frequent phone calls.
Maid of Sker is a first-person survival horror game inspired by Welsh and British folklore. Set in the late 1800s, the game takes place in the remote Sker Hotel, where Thomas Evans is searching for Elisabeth Williams. The hotel’s residents are blind but can track Thomas by the sounds he makes, requiring you to control your breathing and use stealth and distractions to avoid detection. The game also features puzzles and clues to uncover, and later on, a sound-based weapon to stun enemies, though ammo is scarce.
As of July 18, Arcade Paradise and Maid of Sker are free to download from the Epic Games Store until July 25. You can access the store page here. Once you claim these games, they are yours to keep forever. And as always, remember to use our comparison tool to secure the best deal on your next favorite game.
