    It's Epic Time again! That's right; it's that time of the week when we
    all go rushing to the Epic Game Store to pick up some free games we
    are never going to play because The Number owns us. All praise The
    Number; may it never go down!

    So then, oh Great and Mighty Numerical One, tell us what free games we
    can get this week!


    * KAMERU
    https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/kamaeru-0c301e
    Oooh, an Epic-exclusive (or, at least, it's not on
    Steam). A "cozy" game where you "take pictures of frogs,
    play mini-games and decorate your habitat". Very Indie.
    Is it any good? Who knows. It's an Epic game, so nobody
    plays it, and there are no reviews.


    * STRANGE HORTICULTURE https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/strange-horticulture-360e80
    An "occult puzzle game in which you play as the
    proprietor of a local plant store". Oh my gog, it's Little
    Shop of Horrors: The Video Game!!! I'd _almost_ be
    inspired to play, except then I saw it used a deckbuilding
    mechanic, and thus vanished any interest I had in the game.
    Oh well. I doubt it had a singing Steve Martin in it anyway.


    The Number has spoken; the games have been offered. Perform your
    sacred duties and add them to your library. The Number must grow.

    See y'all in seven days for more games.

    I was not going to get them, but ratings were good so I claimed them. I
    doubt I will play them!
