    It's time for your daily announcement and/or injection of free games.
    Remember, 9 out of 10 doctors recommend at least one free game added
    to your library every week.

    Today's prescription includes:



    * The Callisto Protocol https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/the-callisto-protocol
    I've called "The Callisto Protocol" the store-brand
    "Dead Space", and I stand by that; the game is a very
    obvious rip-off of that better known property, and never
    quite meets the quality of the game its aping. That doesn't
    make it a bad game though; it just keeps it from being a
    great one. It's got its problems (the melee combat is a
    bit janky, and the story is --even for a game in the
    survival horror genre-- quite silly. But it's got some
    nice visuals, some good scares, and while it won't make
    you think, it'll ably pass the time. As something you pay
    for, I probably wouldn't bother... but as a freebie? Give
    it a try.

    (Mind you, you may already have this one, since it was
    a freebie already way back in August 2024)



    No anime-waifus in this one. You feeling okay, Epic?

    You've got the usual 24 hours to claim this one, peeps.

    Apologies to those who need an apology for my rampant stupidity ;-)
