  • FREE GAME: Universe For Sale

    If there's nothing else, you can always be sure that Epic will make an otherwise uneventful Thursday into something for which you want to get
    out of bed. I mean, sure it's an otherwise boring day... but at least
    you get a free game!

    What free game? Why, this one:


    * Universe For Sale https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/universe-for-sale-05c53e
    With a title like that, you expect something absolutely
    amazing. But no, it's just another side-view point-n-click
    adventure, and not a particularly novel or exciting one.
    Personally, I dislike the art-style and the game is overly
    wordy (I know, that's rich coming from me!), but free game
    is free game, and The Number must go up.


    You've got seven whole days to grab this game, as usual.

    Yes, I generally don't like this kind of game, and the art-style is
    tolerable at best. However the premise is unusual if I understood the trailer, having some sort of pocket/small universes to buy/sell/trade
    (think the mini one from Men In Black.) I picked it up. I might
    actually try this eventually.
