    That way lies madness and sorrow.



    * FIST: Forged in Shadow Torch
    Wow, that sure is one forced acronym of a name, isn't it?. The game
    itself belies its awful title, however. It's a fun little
    metroidvania-style adventure/platformer. I can't say I'm particularly endeared by its furry protagonists -anthropomorphic animals were never
    my thing- but he has a lot of neat tools and gadgets that makes the
    gameplay look quite interesting. It's nice to see a game with
    old-school gameplay that doesn't rely on retro-graphics too. I
    wouldn't mind if the camera had been pulled back a bit though;
    everything looks just a bit too cramped for my liking. And the story
    is a bit lackluster overall. Still, a fine freebie and a good addition
    to any video game library.

    (note: this is a repeat freebie. Epic gave it away way back in
    December 2022, so you may already have the game. But grab it now if
    you missed it the first time).



    Do I have to tell you how long you have to claim this game? Probably
    not (pssst, it's seven days). Grab it, or not. I get paid the same
    either way.

    Yes and a link. ;P

    I'm sure he is. The reminder is good enough for me though. Thank you
    Spalls!

    Ditto. ;)

    Same here, I always open the client. I don't remember why, as the
    client is crap, but I'm sure there was some reason. Perhaps the website
    is worse?
