Grab TOEM and The Last Stand: Aftermath for Free on the Epic Games Store

Another exciting giveaway has been launched on the Epic Games Store, continuing its tradition of offering free games to players. This week’s promotion includes TOEM and The Last Stand: Aftermath, which will be available for claim. These titles replace the previous offerings of Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland and Super Crazy Rhythm Castle that were available until last week.

As always, PC gamers have a window of seven days from today, September 19, to claim these games and add them permanently to their Epic Games Store library.

Among the duo, TOEM hails from the Swedish indie studio Something We Made and puts players in the role of a photographer. While the game primarily features a top-down perspective for exploration and engaging with various local characters in town, the viewpoint switches to first-person when taking photographs. This cozy adventure involves snapping pictures of intriguing townsfolk and elements in the surroundings to solve puzzles and progress in the game.

Here’s how the studio describes the experience:

Set off on a delightful expedition and use your photographic eye to uncover the mysteries of the magical TOEM in this hand-drawn adventure game. Chat with quirky characters, solve their problems by snapping neat photos, and make your way through a relaxing landscape! Take photos with your camera to solve puzzles and help people!

Next up, The Last Stand: Aftermath provides a thrilling rogue-lite experience set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. Players take on the role of a survivor already infected with the zombie virus, who continues to navigate the devastated landscape to assist others.

Developer Con Artist Games describes the game as follows:

You’ll need to stay on your toes since hordes of zombies still roam the streets, and you’re not a superhuman. In fact, you’re one of the infected, and eventually, you’ll succumb to either the aggressive undead or the virus coursing through you. But when that happens, you’ll restart the game as a new survivor, using perks and upgrades earned based on your previous playthrough to try again.
