This Week's Free PC Games Include A Prison Escape Sim And A Great Telltale Adventure

This week's Epic Games Store freebies include The Escapists, a sandbox prison escape game, and The Wolf Among Us, Telltale's episodic narrative-focused adventure. All you need to claim the pair of games is a free Epic account. Both games are free until December 19 at 10:59 AM ET.

The Wolf Among Us unlocked for free during The Game Awards to celebrate the reveal of The Wolf Among Us 2. The sequel is in development at Telltale and AdHoc Studio, and some of the original Wolf Among Us developers are attached to the project.

The Escapists originally launched in 2015 to widespread acclaim. The pixelated sandbox game has 10 different prisons. In each run, your goal is the same: Escape. But escaping isn't a straightforward process. Avoiding the attention of guards is a must, so you have to blend into the day-to-day life of prison by following the rules, including working one of 10 prison jobs. As a sandbox game, you'll craft materials that can help you escape, including shovels and various weapons that must be hidden from guards.

Though The Escapists is set in a rather unpleasant place, it's pretty light-hearted. Both guards and inmates have humorous personalities and the general tone makes even failed escape attempts a good time.

If you enjoy what you play, an equally well-received sequel, The Escapists 2, launched in 2017. Make sure to claim both games by December 19.
