First released in 2013, the first-person horror game is set in London at the turn of the 20th century and revolves around a great and terrible machine. Off you go, exploring, puzzling, and fleeing from oinkers. It ditches a few bits from Amnesia: The Dark Descent, like the sanity and inventory systems, which disappointed some fans but it’s decent as its own thing. Jim Rossignol called it “a marvellous, revolting, disturbing sequel to Dark Descent” in his Amensia: A Machine For Pigs review: Head on over to the Epic Games Store to get Amensia: A Machine For Pigs free for keepsies. You’ll also find Kingdom: New Lands, a sequel to the minimalist side-scrolling RTS, up for free. Both have been given away on various stores before, but what use is the past to us now? “Oh god.” Frictional released the source code for Dark Descent and Piggy-wigs last month too, if you fancy really rooting around in it (or waiting to see what other people do with this - dare you dream of VR support?). Next week’s Epic freebies will also be spooky: Double Fine’s cute trick-or-treating RPG Costume Quest 2, and first-person explore-o-horror Layers Of Fear 2.
