Epic Games Store renewed its weekly free games list with Out of Sight and TerraScape on October 8. The store’s Out of Sight page shows that the campaign will end on October 15 at 18:00 ET; The same period applies for TerraScape. It is possible to add two Windows games that use the horror and puzzle genres in different ways to the Epic account’s library for free during the campaign period.
At the center of Out of Sight is Sophie, who can see her surroundings from the perspective of her teddy bear, Teddy. The game developed by The Gang combines this idea with the story of escaping from a mysterious mansion. The player proceeds by taking into account both Sophie’s movements and the angle from which she sees the environment.
In addition, the game supports first and second person perspectives with sound design. A squeaky floor or a wrong move can disrupt Sophie’s attempt to hide. Therefore, avoiding the dangers in the mansion is as much a part of the gameplay as solving the puzzles. The store describes the game as a single-player horror adventure.
Out of Sight requires Windows 10, 8 GB memory and 5 GB storage. Among the listed graphics cards are GeForce GTX 1060 and Radeon RX 470. On the other hand, Turkish is not included in the store’s language options; The voice acting of the game is in English, and the texts support multiple languages.
TerraScape combines city building with puzzles
TerraScape offers a calmer experience. The production, developed by Bitfall Studios, is based on placing buildings at suitable points on floating islands. Natural resources around a building, neighboring buildings and land type affect the points earned. Certain sequences combine structures to form stronger complexes.
In addition to single-player scenarios, the game features monthly challenges, free construction and multiplayer options. It is possible to develop the same kingdom for up to four people in co-op mode; In competitive mode, players try to reach the target score first. In addition, randomly generated maps require rethinking the layout with each new game.
TerraScape’s city-building view isn’t meant to be a detailed citizen or resource management simulation. The developer states that battle and free card deck creation are not within the scope of the game. The main focus of the production is to generate points by using the relationships between existing buildings and keeping the next move open.
The store pages of both games also show a 100 percent discount for the main game. Additional packages such as Out of Sight: Stage Fright and TerraScape Ancient Egypt carry additional fees. Therefore, when evaluating the campaign, it is necessary to separate the free main game and the paid additional content; It is enough not to wait for the discount period to end to add the games to the library.
