Halloween is the day of all days when you want to be spooked silly. Many people turn to classic horror films to get their annual dose of Halloween frights, but many others are turning to games for that now.
To mark the occasion, the Epic Games Store is once again offering free games that are perfectly fitting for the scariest time of the year… and you can save a ton of cash on one in particular.
Ghostwire: Tokyo
The first free title is Ghostwire: Tokyo, which was released by Bethesda Softworks in 2022. Despite having a well-known publisher, the game flew under the radar — whether due to marketing failures or poor release timing, who knows — and that’s a shame because its theme, setting, and atmosphere are uniquely exciting.
In this game that delivers a mixture of action-adventure and mystery, you’re transported to Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, which has suddenly become deserted and haunted by ghostly creatures called Yokai, which you have to fend off and banish.
The main character uses supernatural powers to fight a masked leader who seems to be behind the mystery, all to save his little sister.
Even though Ghostwire: Tokyo is far from a masterpiece, it still manages to impress in a few respects. The game world is unique and incredibly beautiful to look at thanks to Unreal Engine 5, and it’s full of references to Japanese folklore and myths, which make the whole thing particularly exciting for fans of Japan and Japanese culture.
The gameplay, though, has its flaws and wasn’t enough to keep some critics hooked for the whole game. And the open world design doesn’t always offer much that’s new.
But the game has a positive rating of 77 out of 100 on Metacritic and is recommended by many despite its weaknesses. Ghostwire: Tokyo normally costs $59.99 on the Epic Games Store, but right now you can get the game completely free.
Witch It
The second free title is Witch It, a multiplayer game that’s fun as a palate cleanser between bigger, heavier games.
In Witch It, you basically play hide-and-seek on colorfully designed maps with some players being witches and the rest of the players transforming themselves into objects and hiding to survive until time runs out.
The simple gameplay alone is fun, at least for the first few times when the novelty factor is still at its peak. But if you get bored of that, there are also other game modes to explore and additional cosmetic items to unlock that provide further motivation.
While Witch It normally costs $19.99 on the Epic Games Store without a special offer, you can get it now completely for free.
How to get these games for free
You can get both games for free between Thursday, October 31 and Thursday, November 7, starting and ending at 12pm ET both days. Use this link for Ghostwire: Tokyo and this link for Witch It.
The only requirement is that you’ll need an Epic Games account to claim and download the games. After that, you can keep them forever and continue to play them indefinitely.
You should also check out the Halloween Sale section, which has hundreds of discounted games and DLCs. The Halloween Sale ends today, so grab ’em while you can!
