Out of Sight: The Psychological Horror That Never Lets You Go
Sophie, Teddy and a Mansion Full of Secrets
If Little Nightmares kept you up at night, brace yourself: Out of Sight might do the exact same thing to you, and then some.
You play as Sophie, a little girl who gets her sight back through her beloved teddy bear, Teddy. Her one goal: escape this mansion before it is too late. Except the tiniest noise could cost you dearly. A creaky floorboard, one clumsy step, and your captors are all over you. The game juggles first-person and second-person perspectives, with Teddy literally becoming your eyes, plus voice acting that locks in a bone-chilling atmosphere from start to finish.
💾 The "seeing through the eyes of an object" mechanic brings back the very best survival horror of the golden age, back when game design came first and pyrotechnics came second. Out of Sight plays in that league.
And since a good horror game would be nothing without a proper layer of madness, the line between reality and illusion is razor-thin here. Your senses will play tricks on you, the mansion hides a tragic past you piece back together clue by clue, and every puzzle solved pulls you one step closer to the truth. Why are you here? Who took you? Survive long enough and you might find out.
On the tech side, it is a blend of adventure, puzzle and horror, built for solo play, with full controller support. Perfect for a dark fall evening, lights off, blanket within arm's reach.

TerraScape: Building a Kingdom on Floating Islands
Medieval City Building, Zero Management Stress
Complete change of scenery with TerraScape, a medieval building game set on floating islands. Think of it as Civilization on its most laid-back day: no endless resource management, no war, no citizen simulation. Just you, your buildings, and the drive to raise a kingdom that plays as smart as it looks.
The concept is easy to pick up: you choose building packs, you place them on the island, and every construction feeds off the influence of its neighbors. Placed well, everything unlocks in a cascade: new buildings, new draws, keep upgrades. Placed badly, negative influences come and crash the party. More than 50 buildings and around thirty possible combinations, plenty to keep you busy for a while.
Solo, Co-op or Versus: TerraScape Matches Your Mood
Playing solo? The content is there: Kingdom mode with several difficulty levels, the scenarios, the Terra Puzzles and their 40 levels, or Creative mode to build with zero limits. Competitive players can even aim for the top of the leaderboards in the monthly challenges.
TerraScape is also a strong multiplayer experience. Up to 4 players in co-op to grow a kingdom together, or in Versus mode to outplay each other and widen the gap round after round. With cloud saves and cross-platform support, you can keep your sessions going anywhere you want, with anyone you want.
🕹️ The Ancient Egypt expansion: history fans can grab an expansion that takes you to the banks of the Nile to build a desert city, with river floods, the rhythm of the seasons and impressive monuments to raise.

Next Week on the Epic Games Store
This week, the Epic Games Store delivers: a horror game with the perfect mood for Halloween right around the corner, and a warm little building game to raise your empire your way, at your own pace. Hard to top that with two free titles.
See you next week with two new games on the menu: Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise, a thoroughly enjoyable investigation game, and Bad Cheese, a black-and-white game that will remind you of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire and its 1920s cartoon style, with a much nastier bite this time around. Have a great weekend, everyone, and remember: next Thursday, 11 AM ET, the offer expires!
FAQ: Epic Games Store Free Games
How long can you claim Out of Sight and TerraScape for free?

Is Out of Sight a good fit for horror newcomers?
Out of Sight leans on atmosphere and psychological tension rather than cheap jump scares. It stays accessible, with adventure and puzzle gameplay and full controller support. A solid pick for anyone who wants to try the genre without a heart attack at every screen.
Can TerraScape only be played solo?
No, TerraScape features a multiplayer mode for up to 4 players, in co-op or Versus mode. The game also supports cloud saves and cross-platform play, so you can pick a session back up on any compatible device.
Do you need an Epic Games subscription to claim the free games?
No, no subscription is required. Just create a free account on the Epic Games Store and hit "Get" while the offer is live. The games are then added to your library for good.
What are the next free games on the Epic Games Store?
The following week, Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise and Bad Cheese will be the two next free titles. Bad Cheese stands out with a black-and-white cartoon style inspired by the 1920s, in a far more twisted register than MOUSE: P.I. For Hire.
