The Epic Games Store has recently revealed that The Spirit and the Mouse will be available to claim on the platform starting next Thursday, September 26. The Epic Games Store brings new games to claim every week, and gamers will likely enjoy this cute puzzle platformer.
While gamers wait for The Spirit and the Mouse to be free, they can claim two games from the Epic Games Store. Starting on September 19, TOEM: A Photo Adventure and The Last Stand: Aftermath will be free to claim on the PC gaming platform. Both games earned positive scores from most critics, and are good picks for fans, each one catering to one genre. TOEM, for example, is an excellent puzzle adventure game in which players can use their camera to solve puzzles and help out several NPCs. The Last Stand, on the other hand, offers a less cozy experience, being a top-down survival shooter with roguelike elements set during a zombie apocalypse.
Starting on September 26 at 10:00 AM CT, The Spirit and the Mouse will be available for anyone who has an Epic Games Store account and wishes to claim it, replacing TOEM: A Photo Adventure and The Last Stand: Aftermath. When playing The Spirit and the Mouse, gamers will play as Lila, a tiny mouse with a big heart who will explore a quaint French village, making friends along the way.
What Game Will Be Free on the Epic Games Store on September 26?
Developed by the indie studio Alblune and published by Armor Games Studios, The Spirit and the Mouse was originally released in 2022, and is mostly a 3D puzzle platformer in which players can use electricity-based powers provided by a ghost to explore the world. The game is very narrative-focused, and some critics have described it as a good mixture of a cozy experience and clever gameplay that rewards ingenuity. It’s also a fairly short experience, taking around four to five hours to complete. Overall, the game has a pretty decent score, with an average score of 75 on OpenCritic.
Right now, it’s still unknown which game will be the next free title offered on the Epic Games Store after The Spirit and the Mouse. As usual, the currently announced game will be available to claim for a week and then replaced on October 3. The Epic Games Store has offered a huge list of free games until now, so players can only wonder what the next title will be.
