- This week's free game from the Epic Games Store has arrived
- Limbo transports you to a stark monochrome realm
- Navigate past deadly traps and hostile creatures
The Epic Games Store continues its tradition of weekly free offerings, this week featuring the acclaimed indie classic Limbo. For newcomers, the store provides a complimentary mobile game every week for players to download and permanently add to their libraries—a strategy the development and publishing giant uses to attract new audiences.
So what exactly is Limbo about? This monochromatic puzzle-platformer appears simple on the surface but offers deep engagement. You control a young boy on a quest to find his sister, journeying through a shadowy and perilous forest to reach her.
Your path is blocked by countless obstacles, dangerous wildlife, and even other children—all determined to kill you in the most brutal ways possible. This platformer isn't for the faint of heart (or those with weak stomachs).
Between life and limboDeath in Limbo is particularly gruesome, featuring bone-crunching, visceral demises—thankfully somewhat softened by the game's monochromatic aesthetic. Beneath the brutality lies a surprisingly emotional narrative that explores childhood vulnerability 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 this weekend, you have no reason not to try it yourself! Keep watching for updates, as we'll be the first to inform you about new Epic Games Store offerings.
