TheEpic Games Storehas been celebrating Halloween with its special Halloween sale and through its free game offerings. The last few weeks of October have seen theEpic Games Storerelease horror-themed games that are perfect for the Halloween season, with the latest offering beingAmong the Sleep, available now until October 28 at 10am CT. Epic Games Store users have a week to claimAmong the Sleepfor their collection, and they know what’s in store for them next week as well.
Epic Games Store is ending its October 2021 free games lineup with thecreepyDARQ: Complete Edition. InDARQ, players take on the role of Lloyd, who is trapped in a disturbing lucid nightmare. A psychological horror game where players are defenseless against the monstrosities living in Lloyd’s mind, the bizarre Tim Burton-esque art style and haunting music should go a long way in creeping players out this Halloween.

While the vast majority of horror games feature adult playable characters,Among the Sleep: Enhanced Editionputs players in the role of a two year old child instead.

Among the SleepandDARQare the latest horror-themed games Epic Games Store has given away in the month of October. While it started off October 2021 without a Halloween-appropriate game, the Epic Games Store gave awayStubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulsefor free from October 14 to October 21.Stubbs the Zombieis not a horror gamein that it’s not trying to scare the player, but it does have horror themes.
Those who claimedStubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulsewhile it was free on the Epic Games Store will be able to play a game where they take on the role of the titular Stubbs the Zombie. Whereas most games have players killing hordes of zombies,Stubbs the Zombiehas players controlling the undead masses, eating brains and turning unlucky humans to zombies.
SinceDARQwill be free on the Epic Games Store from October 28 to November 4, it seems likely that the nextEpic Games Store free gamewill be a non-horror game, though that remains to be seen. Epic Games Store users will find out next week.
