I think it would be cleaner and efficient to just have one thread for this year's giveaways. I'll update the thread every day with a new post to mention the day's game. Remember, unlike Epic's usual giveaways which run for a week, these are daily giveaways. So, you only have 24 hours to claim the game. Don't miss any.

December 18th - Remnant: From the Ashes

I see. Somehow, I missed it, and didn't remebered, unlike an Hitman from +/- the same period that I hope will be given again by them, as well as some of their games from before 2020 as I have none 

Anyways, couldn't play Remnant from ashes until now due to my 2013' i3 PC, but I bought recently an used i7 for 100€ to extend the duration of my build for some more years hopefully. I just need to install it to enjoy the games now ^^

Asked my brother to take the game on another account for my nephew as well, but he'll wait few years to give him as he's still a bit young for these kind of games for this Christmas, I'm sure he'll like it in 2 or 3 years

P.S. The clue for tomorrow's game has some sort of sword and shield. Valheim? Conan Exiles? Mount and Blade?

Thanks batman.

Claimed.

 

From the Game.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a first-person mystery focused on exploration and discovery. As an occult-minded detective Paul Prospero, piece together the truth behind Ethan’s disappearance — and the fate of his family.

You play the game as Paul Prospero, an occult-minded detective who receives a disturbing letter from Ethan Carter. Realizing the boy is in grave danger, Paul arrives at Ethan’s home of Red Creek Valley, where things turn out to be even worse than he imagined. Ethan has vanished in the wake of a brutal murder, which Paul quickly discerns might not be the only local murder worth looking into.

Inspired by the weird fiction (and other tales of the macabre) from the early twentieth century, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter aims to significantly evolve immersive storytelling in games. While it features a private detective and quite a few mental challenges, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is not an especially puzzle-ridden game. Our focus is on atmosphere, mood, and the essential humanity of our characters.

Still, the discoveries won’t happen on their own, or without your help. Using both Paul’s supernatural skill of being able to communicate with the dead, and your own powers of observation, you will discover the mystery behind a trail of corpses, the roots of a dark ancient force lurking in Red Creek Valley, and the fate of a missing boy.


Key Features
Explore and interact with the beautiful yet ominous world of Red Creek Valley, created with the use of revolutionary photogrammetry technology.

Communicate with the dead and see how they died in order to gather clues that help you piece together the truth.
Experience, in non-linear fashion, a story that combines the pleasures of pulp, private eye, and horror fiction.

Conduct the investigation on your own terms and at your own pace. The game contains no combat of any kind, and a few scary bits in the game are less about terror and more about clammy unease.

So, it looks like the next game will be Loop Hero. This French website seems to be spot on with their leaks.

The leaker says the best of this year's freebies, will be given on December 25th. Also, none of my predictions made it so far. . But I think Dying Light, Total War Warhammer I or II, Hitman are still possible. The only own from those that I don't own is Dying Light, I hope more people get to play Warhammer and Hitman.
