'Amnesia: Rebirth' And 'Riverbond' Free On Epic Games Store, 'Just Die Already' And 'Paradigm' Next Week

by Rainier on April 21, 2022 @ 8:23 a.m. PDT

For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering one title for free: Amnesia: Rebirth and Riverbond.

Amnesia: Rebirth

Amnesia: Rebirth is a new descent into darkness from the creators of the iconic Amnesia series. A harrowing journey through desolation and despair, exploring the limits of human resilience.

Ten years ago Amnesia: The Dark Descent heralded a new generation of horror. Five years ago, SOMA took us to fresh depths of terror. Now, steel yourself for the next nightmare as Frictional Games prepares to release Amnesia: Rebirth this autumn. A new story set in the world of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Rebirth represents yet another evolutionary leap for Frictional games, challenging players to remain calm in the face of unimaginable terror.

Set in the desolate landscape of the Algerian desert, the game will focus on new character Tasi Trianon as she sets out on a harrowing journey through devastation and despair, personal terror and pain, while exploring the limits of human resilience. 

You can’t let out a breath. The creature is only inches away. Its sole purpose - to feed off your terror. And so you crouch in the dark, trying to stop the fear rising, trying to silence what lies within you.

Retracing Tasi’s journey and pulling together the fragments of a shattered past will be the only chance to survive the pitiless horror that threatens to devour you. Time is against you. Still, you must continue, step by step, knowing that if you fail you will lose everything.

Once Amnesia: Rebirth and Riverbond, the current free games on the Epic Games Store, have run their course, it will be up to Just Die Already and Paradigm, which will be gratis starting April 28 until May 5, 2022.

Just Die Already

Just Die Already is an old people mayhem sandbox game created by the designers of Goat Simulator. You are old and angry and you've just been kicked out of your retirement home. How will you survive in a world that wants you to Just Die Already?

You are an old retired person in a near future where people aren’t having any children. There isn’t anyone to pay for pensions due to those ungrateful millennials who prefer playing video games instead of doing actual work. With no one to cover your living costs, you - just like all other old people in this world - have no other choice but to survive on your own.

How will you survive in a world that wants you to Just Die Already?

To make things worse, you’ve just been kicked out of your retirement home, and your only option now is to perform dangerous challenges and explore the world for retirement tickets to qualify for free retirement care.

So with society wishing you dead, isn’t it finally time to live a little?

BE OLD, BE BOLD

You get to be an old person. Angry, fragile, poor and hating the world: the dream you didn’t know you had until now. Finally, you have found something in common with your grandparents.

BREAK A LEG... BREAK A NECK

Discover the joys of being old and made of glass, anything can break you and you can break your everything.

DON’T TRY THIS AT (RETIREMENT) HOME

Complete dangerous challenges that you will never ever try at home and answer existential questions like: can you launch yourself from a catapult and land on someone? Or, can you survive losing your head, grabbing it and whacking someone with it?

ONE MISSION: RETIRE!

Earn rewards by completing dangerous challenges, your goal? To qualify for a proper retirement home. That makes perfect sense. Word of advice: try and stay in one piece so you can enjoy it in the end…

SANDBOX MULTIPLAYER

Play alone, or with up to 4 players in online multiplayer. Complete challenges together, or just cause mayhem and rip your friends’ limbs off!

Paradigm

Paradigm is a surreal adventure game set in the strange and post apocalyptic Eastern European country of Krusz. Play as the handsome mutant, Paradigm, whose past comes back to haunt him in the form of a genetically engineered sloth that vomits candy.

Paradigm’s unfortunate life begins at DUPA genetics, a company who sells prodigy children to the rich and powerful who don’t want to leave their inheritance to their poor excuse for biological children.

Something went wrong during Paradigm’s growing process and he was left horribly mutated. To save their reputation, DUPA dumped the hideous infant in a nearby post Neo-Soviet abandoned town, forcing him to fend for himself.

Paradigm didn’t let this get him down and found solace in music. He dreams of becoming the best electronic music artist the world has ever seen! Unfortunately his past is set to catch up with him and he must reluctantly step up as the world’s saviour. When really he just wants to finish his latest EP.

On his journey, Paradigm meets an array of strange characters. Some include: a psychopathic superhero, an evil sloth, a secretary knight , and a glam metal cult leader pug.

 

Riverbond

Riverbond offers solo adventuring, as well as drop-in / drop-out 4-player local co-op where players embark on a heroic campaign to rid the evil that has befallen the land.

It’s almost time to wreak havoc on a destructible voxel world by hacking enemies and the environment into tiny cubes with upcoming shoot-and-slash dungeon crawler Riverbond.

In true dungeon crawling style, ​Riverbond ​takes players on a journey through memorable worlds where they will battle monsters, find treasure and become the hero. With fast and fluid controls for maximum action, ​Riverbond ​lets players choose ​their ​play style by letting them select from a bevy of melee and ranged weapons to fight quirky enemies, take down towering bosses or completely decimate everything in sight.

In addition, Riverbond features eight crossover skins from the following beloved indie games. Players can find these playable guest skins hidden in treasure chests throughout the stunning voxel world.
