Epic is currently giving away the emotional story-driven game *Beacon Pines* and the co-op puzzle game *We Were Here Together*.
It’s Thursday, which means it’s Epic Day! Just like every week, the platform is once again serving up free games. This time, there are two treats for solo players and co-op fans alike.
Until August 13, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., you can claimWe Were Here Togetherand Beacon Pineson Epic Games.
We Were Here Together
You have to play *We Were Here Together* as a duo—and preferably without a Discord call. This puzzle game features its own unique communication methods, which make it particularly tricky.
In the game, you wake up as polar explorers at your base camp and receive a distress signal from your colleagues that you’re tasked with tracing. Together, you search the icy wasteland and stumble upon a medieval castle full of puzzles. You’ll coordinate via walkie-talkie to get to the bottom of the mystery. Only by listening to each other can you save your research team.
To play, you’ll each need a copy of *We Were Here Together*. So if you have someone in mind, let them know right away to grab the game on Epic as well.

Beacon Pines
In Beacon Pines, you’ll experience a fairy tale book coming to life. You are both the reader of the story and the one right in the middle of it.
As you uncover the mysteries behind the eerie events in Beacon Pines, you’ll come across amulets inscribed with words. At key turning points, these words change the outcome of the story, causing it to take different paths. Little by little, you’ll uncover the secrets truly hidden in Beacon Pines.
To add both titles to your library, click the link at the top of the article. On the page, you’ll see both games listed and can claim them independently of each other. Confirm your purchase for 0 euros, and you’ll find Beacon Pines and We Were Here Together in your account.
Next week at the same time, new games will be available on Epic’s Gift Shelf, so be sure to check back!
