Epic Games is getting into the spirit of the spooky season by offering up The Evil Within for free from October 19-26. Users will also be able to claim the first-person story-drive puzzle game Eternal Threads during the same period.
Released in 2014, The Evil Within is a survival horror directed by Resident Evil series creator Shinji Mikami. The game received mostly positive reviews from critics at launch and was successful enough to receive a sequel in 2017.
In our review of the game, which we published at launch, we said "Rather than the next generation of Japanese survival horror, The Evil Within serves as a greatest hits compilation that includes not just the highlights but also some of those outdated elements we'd rather forget."
"If you can stomach some old school design then you're in for some proper stomach turning events."
And its sequel is going for free next week.
Players will also be able to claim Eternal Threads until October 26.
Bethesda's Pete Hines won't confirm whether or not they might be coming, though.
"it is a very good method to immerse yourself in your environment," says The Evil Within creator.
