Epic Games Store Adds Echo Generation and Luto to Its Free PC Lineup
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Epic Games Store's latest weekly giveaway features indie titles Echo Generation and Luto, both available to claim for free until July 23.
The latest batch of complimentary PC titles is now live on the Epic Games Store, giving players a chance to expand their libraries without spending anything. This week features a pair of well-received independent games that cover very different thematic grounds, ranging from nostalgic supernatural adventures to heavy psychological horror. As digital storefronts continue to compete for player retention through weekly perks and routine giveaways, pickups like these remain an easy way for the community to test out critically acclaimed indies that might otherwise fly under the radar.
The first title on offer is Echo Generation, a turn-based adventure developed by Cococucumber. Set in a small town during the nineties, the game tasks a group of kids with investigating supernatural phenomena alongside their animal companions, complete with dozens of minigames and a distinct voxel art style. It holds a strong reputation among Steam users, making it a great pickup for players looking for a narrative-driven experience with retro sensibilities.
For those seeking a stark contrast in tone, the psychological horror game Luto by Broken Bird Games is also available to claim. The title traps players in a shifting, labyrinthine house filled with puzzles and heavy atmospheric tension, though developers have included content warnings regarding its exploration of mental health themes. Both games are free to claim until July 23 at 11 a.m. EDT, continuing Epic's long-running strategy of maintaining weekly engagement across its PC launcher.
