The Epic Games Store has unveiled its latest batch of free-to-claim titles for the week, offering players two complimentary PC games before they slip away. Available until 11 a.m. EDT on Thursday, Oct. 15, this week’s selection pairs the acclaimed horror puzzle adventure Out of Sight with the relaxing medieval city builder TerraScape. To secure either game, users simply need to log in to their account and add the titles to their library at no cost.
The move reinforces Epic’s ongoing strategy of drawing players back to its platform through time-limited giveaways that pair critically acclaimed indie darlings with more laid-back experiences. Both featured games have earned strong reception on Steam, giving claimers a taste of well-reviewed software without spending a dime. The window is narrow, however—once the Thursday deadline passes, both titles will return to their regular price tags and can no longer be claimed for free.
A Horror Adventure Built Around Unseen Terror
Tailored perfectly for spooky season, Out of Sight casts players as Sophie, a young girl attempting to escape her captors. The standout design choice is that Sophie is blind; instead of relying on conventional visuals, she navigates the world through a teddy bear that acts as her eyes. When Sophie carries the stuffed companion, the game unfolds from a first-person perspective, while setting the bear down allows players to tackle puzzles from an omniscient vantage point.
This distinctive horror perspective has clearly resonated with audiences beyond Epic’s own storefront. The title has amassed more than 800 player reviews on Steam, earning a Very Positive rating that underscores its reputation as one of the most inventive atmospheric thrillers in recent memory. Players who appreciate tension built through sound design and creative perspective mechanics will find much to admire here.
A Cozy Medieval City Builder for Every Temperament
For those seeking a calmer experience, TerraScape offers a gentle escape into medieval construction. The game blends strategy with puzzle-solving in a format that deliberately avoids the time pressure common to the genre—there is no ticking clock forcing decisions. Players have access to more than 40 individual buildings alongside 15 combination structures they can arrange creatively across their landscape.
TerraScape also supports cooperative play, allowing friends to build together in a shared world. But for players who thrive on competition, dedicated multiplayer modes pit rivals against one another as they strategically position buildings and race to accrue points. The title has similarly earned its keep on Steam, gathering over 900 player reviews with a Very Positive standing.
“We want our community to be able to discover incredible games without any risk, so this week we’re offering two of the most beloved indie titles on Steam completely free. Whether you’re in the mood for heart-pounding horror or a relaxing afternoon of city building, there’s something here for everyone.”

The pairing reflects a deliberate curation philosophy: give players one title that delivers adrenaline and another that offers respite. Both games have proven their quality through overwhelming positive reception on Steam, making this an especially generous week for those looking to expand their libraries without spending anything.
Looking Ahead
If Out of Sight and TerraScape catch your eye, all you need to do is log in to the Epic Games Store and claim them before they vanish. The games will remain free until 11 a.m. EDT on Thursday, Oct. 15, after which they revert to their standard prices and can no longer be added to libraries at no cost.
Epic typically refreshes its free offerings weekly, so players who miss this week’s selection can expect new titles to arrive shortly thereafter. Once claimed, however, both games belong to the user permanently, unlocking whenever they wish to dive back into Sophie’s harrowing escape or their own medieval empire.
