I have one job here on c.s.i.p.g.action... one thing for which I am
responsible. One thing that earns me the amazingly high salary that I
then waste entirely on games. And that thing is to unnecessarily alert
everybody about the free games Epic gives away every Thursday. Sure,
some people say it's a waste of money to hire somebody like me, but I
say, 'shut up and give me my money!' Also, I say 'here's the free game
on Epic this week' because otherwise I don't get a check. Which is why
I'm going to end this introduction by saying: 'Here's the free game on
Epic this week!'

* Call of the Sea
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/call-of-the-sea
Of course, this high-paying job doesn't require me to proselytize for
the games; if I really want, I can announce them and then lambaste
them to my heart's desire. But I won't be doing that with this one
because it doesn't deserve that. It's a first-person adventure game
with a focus on logic puzzles set in a lost-world style 1930s pulp
adventure setting. It feels incredibly niche but well done for what it
is, as - while it is not quite a 'walking simulator', it is more
focused on environmental storytelling than presenting a real
challenge. It's sort of like "Firewatch" crossed with "Riven" except
with all the really hard puzzles removed. If that sounds like fun,
give it a try. If not, well, nobody will blame you for giving this one
a pass.

Well, that's me earning my pay again. Whew! People shouldn't have to
work this hard just to eat. Well, I got seven days to recover before I
have to do it again, and you have seven days to claim the game.

The only logic puzzle adventure game I ever played was The 7th Guest.
I did not like it. That fact is not going to stop me from adding this
game to my library however.

Thank you Spalls.
