These games are Obduction, created by the developers of Myst, and Offworld Trading Company, which instead is from Soren Johnson, Lead Designer of Civilization 4. This week's free Epic Games Store titles offer quite a lot in terms of gameplay and combined with their predecessor, The Spectrum Retreat. It was available from July 1 to July 8, making up for a consistent sci-fi theme that will continue with the new batch of games. In fact, both titles available starting this Thursday share a heavier sci-fi setting and background compared to the previous free games of the past two weeks.

Ironcast, instead, is a game set in an alternative Victorian era of the British Empire where soldiers take control of giant moving vehicles, and players are tasked with handling resource nodes and fighting turn-based encounters. The former is a game of the Bridge Construction series based in the universe of the award-winning comics and TV series where players are challenged by complex puzzles, all while using movable objects and taking care of zombies with various items or distractions. The Epic Games Store continues its trend of having multiple free games at once for players to claim, with the current ones being Bridge Constructor The Walking Dead, and Ironcast, which will be available until this Thursday.
