Alone With You Free On Epic Games Store, Astral Ascent And Luftrausers Next Week

by Rainier on Sept. 3, 2026 @ 9:52 a.m. PDT

For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering one title for free: Alone With You.

Alone With You

Alone With You is a bittersweet sci-fi adventure game that goes right for the heart. Escape a doomed space colony with the help of your troubled AI companion and four chatty holograms in this unique blend of adventure & visual novel storytelling.

You're the last survivor of a doomed space colony, trying to escape a planet before it implodes around you. Equipped with a scanner, you’ll reveal clues, solve puzzles, and discover the fates of over two-dozen colonists and the secrets of their interwoven lives.

By day you’ll explore this richly detailed world with the help of the colony’s troubled AI. And each night, you'll spend quality time with several holographic companions, forging lasting relationships while gaining further insight into the colony’s tragic downfall.

  • Experience more than a dozen missions, including lush agroponic installations, vast research labs, and the eerily-quiet cabins of your former colleagues
  • Get to know Pierre, Winnie, Jean and Leslie — and help them realize their destinies through a unique, natural social system
  • Multiple endings and branching conversations let you explore new perspectives with each playthrough
  • An original, stunning musical score features energizing and atmospheric tracks

Once Alone With You, the current free game on the Epic Games Store, has run its course, it will be up to Astral Ascent and Luftrausers, which will be gratis starting September 10 until September 17, 2026.
