Free games: Home
Pocket Gamer: Home is free on Epic's mobile store until Oct. 29

How sure
Medium
One recent outlet report; no official Epic source was supplied.
Pocket Gamer reports that Home is free through the Epic Games Store on mobile until Oct. 29. That gives players a few days to claim the murder mystery without paying.
This is a short brief: the reporting is Pocket Gamer’s, and we had nothing to add yet. Read their story.
Home begins in a stranger’s house, where someone has been murdered. There are no enemies to fight or inventory to manage. Instead, the story changes in small ways based on how you read its clues. The house has a mystery to solve, but no backpack to sort first.
Creator Benjamin Rivers released Home on PC in 2012. Its 14th Anniversary update on iOS and Android adds Postmortem Mode, with developer commentary that changes with your choices. It also adds a behind-the-scenes gallery, better controller support and 60 FPS.
What we don’t know
The report gives Oct. 29 as the end date for the free offer, but does not give an end time.
That’s the whole story. Back to the main quest.
