It's not Thursday, and it's not on Epic Games Store, but it is a free
game:

Mido and Di
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1691560/Mido_and_Di/

At first glance, this game seems to get off to a good start: it's a
first-person shooter, it has aliens, it has zombies. That's three
tick-boxes sure to bring in customers. On the other hand, it's also an
Indie title with stylized graphics, techno soundtrack, and looks to be
using the Unity engine. The Gods of Gaming give, and the Gods of
Gaming take. Gameplay looks extremely simplistic and seems lacking in
story and variety. Reviews are middling. Honestly, this probably isn't
one to get... but it is free, so, you know, do what you want. My job
is just to tell you about free games ;-)

Like PW and JAB, I will pass..... on playing it. But that won't stop
me from taking it.

For what it's worth - and at risk of enflaming rumors that I've been
replaced by the lizard people - I didn't add this game to my library
either. I was tempted, sure - free game! - but between the
uninteresting design and the bad reviews, even I passed on the offer.

Has there ever been a more damning condemnation of a game than it was
so bad even /I/ didn't want it? ;-)
