What is Alien: Isolation, the horror game that Epic will give away
Alien: Isolation is a horror and survival adventure set 15 years after the events of the first Alien movie. The player controls Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley, who becomes trapped in the Sevastopol space station while trying to discover what happened to her mother.
What is Alien: Isolation, the horror game that Epic will give away
The protagonist must survive in a deteriorating station, surrounded by desperate people and hunted by a virtually unstoppable creature. To progress, she will need to search for resources, solve puzzles, and utilize tools such as stealth, crafting, and exploration.
The constant danger is one of the key elements of the experience: confronting the xenomorph directly is not always an option, so hiding and finding a way to escape is essential.

Mark of the Deep: a pirate adventure with exploration and combat
Mark of the Deep offers an action and adventure experience that combines elements of Metroidvania and Soulslike. The story follows Marcus “Rookie” Ramsey, a pirate who shipwrecks on a cursed island and must find his missing crew, known as the Angry Mermaids.
During the journey, he will have to explore various settings, face abyssal creatures, undead, and cultists, and uncover the island's secrets. The game includes over 80 enemies and 16 bosses, with challenging combat inspired by the Soulslike genre.
It also allows players to unlock abilities, acquire weapons, and enhance the protagonist's skills to access new areas. The decisions and missions of secondary characters can influence the development of the adventure and its different endings.

Last chance to claim Knightica for free
Before the two new gifts arrive, the Epic Games Store keeps Knightica available until Thursday, November 19. It is a strategy roguelike with automatic combat where players must recruit units, place them on the battlefield, and leverage their synergies to defeat enemies.
The game also allows players to upgrade troops and use enchantments to overcome increasingly difficult challenges. Those who want to add it to their library must do so before the promotion ends.
