Grab This Free PC Game For A Limited Time

Technology Beyond January 16, 2020 Gaming

For the past week, the Epic Games Store has been giving away Sundered: Eldritch Edition, but with a new Thursday comes a new free PC game from the Fortnite company. This week’s title is Horace, a story-focused puzzle-platformer about a good-natured robot who’s in with a tough crowd and asked to do some nefarious things.

Horace’s story is funny and full of heart, yet also tragic at times. It’s also a challenging platformer, with some fun surprises along the way. To claim it on the Epic Games Store, all you need to do is head to Horace’s store page, click “Buy Now,” and complete checkout. You won’t be charged, but you will be able to install and play Horace any time you want.

If you want to see some gameplay, be sure to check out GameSpot sister site Giant Bomb and its Horace Quick Look. They show off part of the story, some tricky sections of puzzle-platforming, and one of the surprises you can expect from the genre-blending adventure.

Horace is free to claim until January 23, when it will be replaced by Epic’s next freebie, logic puzzle game The Bridge.

Originally, the Epic Games Store’s free games program was supposed to end last year, but the company recently revealed that it’s extending the free game giveaways through 2020.
