Boxes: Lost Fragments brings Myst-like puzzles to the Epic Games Store for free this week

• Boxes: Lost Fragments is now available as a free title on the Epic Games Store
• Explore enigmatic puzzle boxes while navigating through an eerie, isolated manor
• Uncover the mystery of who placed them there and find your way out

It’s Friday, which means only one thing—well, two things. First, it isn’t Monday anymore. Second, the latest free game on the Epic Games Store has arrived, at least for mobile users. This weekly offering often introduces players to titles they might not otherwise pick up, including this week’s selection: Boxes: Lost Fragments.

Younger gamers may be unfamiliar with Myst, the spiritual predecessor that inspired Boxes. However, veteran players will likely recognize its influence in the simple yet captivating gameplay of Boxes: Lost Fragments. The sprawling, hauntingly empty environment conceals numerous secrets ready to be revealed.

In Boxes: Lost Fragments, you play as a seasoned thief who accidentally enters a mysterious mansion and finds himself unable to leave. To escape, he must venture deeper into the house, solving an increasing number of puzzle boxes left behind by its eccentric owner.

Confined within

I’ve mentioned it before: Boxes: Lost Fragments is a standout choice for the Epic Games Store’s free weekly title program. While many players prioritize replayability or daily challenges, the game’s linear, story-driven puzzles may not appeal to everyone.

But that’s exactly where its free price tag shines. The short play sessions keep things engaging—each level introduces a new puzzle box filled with unique mysteries. You’ll almost forget you’re trapped in an enigmatic manor and that these boxes hold the key to your freedom.
