 Oh, hello there. I didn't see you come in. I was just perusing the
Epic Game Store. It's Thursday, you see, and - you may not be aware of
this - every Thursday there are free games being offered to anyone
lucky enough to stumble upon them. Don't believe me? Take a look!
  * The Big Con
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/the-big-con
     A weird comic-strip style adventure game about
     drifting across America as a teenager, running
     cons to try to raise enough money for the family
     store. It's rife with 'nostalgia' for the 90s and
     is a 'coming of age' story with otherwise fairly
     standard adventure-game mechanics. Not sure it's
     my cuppa, to be honest.
 

This one looks mildly interesting.  My first thought it, ugh, I don't want to play a con-artist.  My second thought was I rather enjoyed some of the GTAs, so maybe I'm o.k. playing one.

* Town of Salem II
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/town-of-salem-2-ab6497
     One of many Indie games - ranging from 'Among Us' to
     "The Ship" - where the goal is to identify the one
     player who is the nefarious villain while avoiding
     being accused (or worse) yourself. This one has a
     cutesy aesthetic set in the era of America's Salem
     Witch Trials. Online only, of course. Definitely
     not my cup of tea!

Pure trash.  I picked it up because I was on epic anyway.  For the number.
