Epic Games Store's Free Weekly Game: Limbo

• The Epic Games Store's weekly free game is now available
• Limbo immerses you in a haunting black-and-white universe
• Avoid deadly traps, obstacles, and hostile creatures

The Epic Games Store's ongoing free game promotion continues this week with the acclaimed indie classic Limbo up for grabs. For those unaware, the Epic Games Store offers a free mobile title each week for users to download and own permanently. This initiative reflects the development and publishing giant's strategy to attract players.

So what exactly is Limbo about? This monochrome puzzle-platformer delivers deceptively simple gameplay, typical of the indie genre. You play as a young boy searching for his sister, compelled to traverse a sinister and treacherous forest to reach her.

Between you and your goal lie countless obstacles, dangerous wildlife, and even hostile characters—other children in this case—all determined to end your life in the most gruesome ways possible. This platformer is decidedly not for the faint of heart (or stomach).

Death in Limbo is brutally visceral, featuring bone-crunching, gory demises—thankfully somewhat softened by the game's monochromatic aesthetic. Yet beneath the grim exterior lies a surprisingly poignant narrative that explores childhood powerlessness in an indifferent world.

It's dark stuff, but there's a reason this title became a cult classic and received widespread critical praise. Best of all, since it's free, you have every reason to dive in and experience it this weekend! Keep an eye on our updates, as we'll be the first to alert you about new EGS offerings.
