First up, a comedic point-and-click adventure that is available for PC, Mac, and Mobile! Grab it while it’s free because this looks like an amusing romp through the investigations of a detective who’s in charge of the Darkside Division of Twin Lakes. Take up the role of Detective Francis McQueen who handles the strangest cases that no one else will handle. He’s accompanied by his sidekick Officer Patrick Dooley.

This game includes the Season One of the serial adventure. It has controller support. And it invites you to “point at everything in sight, click around mysterious and eerie locations, and use your wits (or borrow a friend’s) to lay these cases to rest!”

How to Claim Freebies From the Epic Games Store

Whether you want to play on your PC, Mac, Android, or iOS device, you can find the download information on the Epic Games Store website. If you’re on a computer, you can download the Epic Games Launcher to access and play your games. I know that’s not exactly shocking, and you probably figured that out already.

For the mobile games, you’ll need the QR code. Use the camera on your mobile device to scan the QR code, which will direct you to the download page. You will have to enable downloads from other sources. (Other than the native app store, that is.) This app isn’t available on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. After installing the app, launch it, sign in, and then scroll down to find the current free game.

And that’s what we have for you this week! Check back next week, and we’ll highlight the new game offerings from the Epic Games Store. We’re staying on top of the latest gaming news, so you don’t have to worry about any FOMO.

Happy gaming!
