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.
yeah, I had the same thought. It might be interesting to people, but not to me right now. But I can't say I never will be interested either.
But considering the sheer amount of unplayed games I have I doubt I will ever really touch it.
* 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.
FOR THE NUMBER!
