    Well, I guess it's time for me to do this thing again. What thing? The free-games-on-Epic-GameStore thing, of course. How else would you
    learn about the freebies? Visit the site yourself? I don't think so!
    This requires the sort of expertise only a highly-trained professional
    like myself can provide! ;-)

    * Citizen Sleeper
    https://store.epicgames.com/p/citizen-sleeper-944858
    An untraditional RPG, blending bits of visual novel
    and strategy but surpassing both genres. It's pretty
    text-heavy and very dependent on RNG dice-rolls, it's
    lacking the usual epic quest line (being more about day-
    to-day survival rather than fighting enemies). It's got
    some nice visuals. I'm not sure this is a game I'd
    enjoy but it deserves some points for trying something
    different.

    Maybe I'm biased, but it kinda looks like Disco Elysium to me.
    Definitely find the way it handles dice really unique and cool though :D
    It's nice that its on discount on Steam rn

    I got that vibe from the game too. The gameplay is more text-heavy
    though but there are definite similarities.

    I'm still not sure that's enough for me to want to play it though.
    "Disco" was great, but that was partly because it felt so unique and
    fresh. It's not really what I want from all my games, though.
