The Epic Games Store releases two free games for today, September 21, and confirms what will follow them on September 28: Model Builder and Soulstice. Epic Games Store users will be able to claim these two games from September 28 to October 5.
In the meantime, fans will be able to claim September 21's free games on the Epic Games Store, with there being two titles: Out of Line and The Forest Quartet. The former is a puzzle platformer game, with everything being hand-drawn in a beautiful, original art style. It tells the story of San, who is seeking to escape an overgrown factory that was once home. Meanwhile, The Forest Quartet is another puzzle game, but it goes in a different direction. The Forest Quartet is an adventure game with various puzzles for players to solve, as players take on the role of a deceased lead singer of a band. As her spirit, players follow the members of her band for one last concert.
Soulstice is an action-adventure game with solid reviews where players control sisters Briar and Lute simultaneously. As Chimera, Briar delivers powerful melee attacks and combos, while Lute controls the battlefield with otherwordly abilities in an attempt to reach the Tear of the Sky and end an invasion of Wraiths. Players can customize weapons, enjoy an intense story, and find themselves immersed in its combat, ensuring Soulstice is a worthwhile addition to the EGS free game list.
Epic Games Store Free Game List as of September 21
- Out of Line (September 21 - September 28)
- The Forest Quartet (September 21 - September 28)
- Model Builder (September 28 - October 5)
- Soulstice (September 28 - October 5)
Model Builder is perhaps "simpler" than Soulstice, but no less interesting. It's a simulation game where players are able to unleash their creativity and build models, as if they were collecting models in real life. Players can assemble, customize, and display them via some therapeutic simulation gameplay.
While today's puzzle games and the upcoming selection may not be everyone's cup of tea, the good news is the wait for more games is not that long. Fans know they can expect more announcements next week, and it'll be interesting to see what EGS has in store for October. Beyond even that, though, fans are getting closer week by week to Epic Games Store's mystery game promotion, where they can expect surprise games every day for a week or two sometime in December.
Epic Games Store users get a handful of games every month.
