Summary
- Epic Games Store is offering free games for users to claim every week, with a new game available from February 1 to February 8 called Doors: Paradox.
- On February 8, users can claim both Doki Doki Literature Club Plus and Lost Castle for free.
- The upcoming free games for February 15 have not been announced yet.
The Epic Games Store free games for February 8 are Doki Doki Literature Club Plus and Lost Castle. Since the end of the latest Epic Games Store free mystery game promotion, the launcher has mostly stuck with giving away 1 free game per week. This is the case with the latest Epic Games Store free game, which is available for users to claim for their digital libraries as of February 1.
From February 1 to February 8 at 10:00am CT, Epic Games Store users can snag Doors: Paradox completely free of charge. Doors: Paradox is an "escape" puzzle game that released to mostly positive reviews last year. Any puzzle game fans interested in trying out Doors: Paradox for themselves should note that they have only a week to do so, as it will be replaced by the next set of free games on February 8.
On February 8 at 10:00am CT, Epic Games Store users will be able to claim both Doki Doki Literature Club Plus and Lost Castle. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus is a visual novel horror game that has earned a great deal of praise from fans and critics alike. Lost Castle, meanwhile, is an action-RPG/beat 'em up hybrid that originally released in 2016. There aren't many critic reviews available for Lost Castle, but its Steam user ratings are "Mostly Positive" for recent reviews and "Very Positive" for all reviews.
Epic Games Store Free Games for February 2024
- Doors: Paradox (February 1 - February 8)
- Doki Doki Literature Club Plus (February 8 - February 15)
- Lost Castle (February 8 - February 15)
Horror game fans that have already played the original Doki Doki Literature Club may still want to grab Doki Doki Literature Club Plus for their Epic Games Store Collection. This version of the game includes six new side stories, 100+ unlockable images, 13 new unlockable songs, a DDLC music player, and a "high-fidelity visual upgrade" that presents the game in full 1080p HD. It sounds like the definitive way to experience the game, and it being completely free on the Epic Games Store means there's no financial commitment for any curious about checking it out.
As usual, Epic Games Store users will have one week to claim Doki Doki Literature Club Plus and Lost Castle, as both games will be cycled out come Thursday, February 15 at 10:00am CT. The jury is still out on what the Epic Games Store free games for February 15 will be, but more information on that front should come to light next week.
