Epic Games is currently running a hell of a campaign. Each day, a mysterious game is revealed to the world and given out for free in true Christmas fashion. Some of them have been bangers, others not so much. But today, on Christmas, one of the best cRPGs has been put up for free.
And the game in question is Disco Elysium, the incredible title from ZA/UM. Set in a fictional, politically ravaged landscape, Disco Elysium puts you in the shoes of a nameless detective meandering through the streets, trying to solve a strange case alongside his sharper, more focused partner.
The detective is a reflection of your (assumed or actual) complex political reality and can take on the role of anything you want him to, with each action carrying significant consequences, thus altering the outcome of each playthrough.
The game is as beautiful and stylish as it is well-written, and is a masterclass in video game narrative design in just about every way imaginable.
So unless you have a major hatred of Epic Games and oppose engaging with the platform in any capacity, you’d do well for yourself to pick the game up. It’ll be free throughout Dec. 25, before being replaced by another mystery game.
This promotion from Epic is set to last throughout these last few days of 2025, closing off with Dec. 31. Of course, there’s also a holiday sale going on, which will continue into 2026, ending in early January.
There hasn’t been a better time to buy and get new games, so make sure you don’t miss out on these amazing promotions, especially when a platform is giving out 10/10 masterpieces for literally zero dollars.
