The free game from the Epic Games Store coming
The game that will be available at 5:00 p.m. is The Big Con, a narrative-driven adventure title developed by Mighty Yell and published by Skybound Games. The story is set in 1990s America and follows Ali, a mischievous teenager who embarks on a cross-country journey to save her mother's video store from a gang of creditors. The game is notable for its colorful, hand-drawn art style, evoking a '90s aesthetic. Players explore various locations, interact with a range of quirky characters, and participate in activities such as pickpocketing, disguises and scams. This mix of activities supports the main gameplay, which involves puzzles and communication challenges to progress through the story.
The Big Con's humorous tone, combined with its themes of nostalgia and teenage adventure, has been praised. The game is also loved for its unique approach to storytelling and its authentic depiction of 90s popular culture. Overall, a great pick.
A big leak for the future
Once again, French billbil-kun which we no longer present, leaks the next two games. These 2 titles will be redeemable for free from April 25 to May 2, 2024 at 5 p.m. The first is Lisa: The Painful RPG Definitive Edition. An enhanced version of the original role-playing game Lisa: The Painful RPG, created by Dingaling Productions (also known as LoveBrad Games). This game is notorious for its brutal and emotionally intense approach to the RPG genre.
It takes place in a devastated post-apocalyptic world, where women have mysteriously disappeared, and follows the story of Brad Armstrong, a man tormented by his past, who sets out in search of his missing adopted daughter. This definitive edition improves on the original with reworked graphics, an optimized user interface, and additional content that enriches the story and gameplay. The game combines typical RPG elements like turn-based combat with narrative choices that have lasting, often painful, consequences on the story and characters.

It transports players to East Berlin during the final days of the Cold War, introducing a scenario where a simple scientist mysteriously disappears the day before the fall of the Berlin Wall. The protagonist, Nora, embarks on a quest to find him, which leads her to a parallel dimension where she must face hostile machines and discover the secrets of a dystopian universe.
