This Week's Free Games
Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge
Frogs have received lots of positive attention in recent years. Although many people probably wouldn't touch them, they have managed to become emblematic of cozy games. And when it comes to Kamaeru: A Frog Sanctuary, frogs and cozy vibes are exactly what you'll get. The game is about collecting frogs and turning the wetlands into a safe haven for your four-legged friends. With over 500 frogs to collect, it'll take hours before you've exhausted all this game has to offer.
Currently, the game costs approximately $18 on the Epic Games Store. This week, you can download it for free.

Strange Horticulture
Strange Horticulture is an occult puzzle game in which you take over as the proprietor of a local plant and herb store. Throughout the game, you will come into contact with the witches and cultists that inhabit the forest surrounding your store. With your plants, you can change the path that your story is going to take. Unravel dark mysteries, be wary of the dangers lurking in the forest, and join a cult to truly immerse yourself in this magical world.
The game usually costs around $15, but you can download it for free this week. It has so far received 4.6 out of 5 stars, which speaks to the game's quality.

A Sneak Peek at Next Week's Free Games
Machinarium
If you liked Pilgrims, given for free three weeks ago, you will love Machinarium from the same studio, Amanita Design. The game follows a classic premise: Save your kidnapped girlfriend from the hands of an evil gang. What is different, though, is the slow pace of exploration, with a typical point-and-click adventure gameplay.
That gives you time to enjoy the impressive hand-drawn 2D artwork that made Amanita Design famous from this and other award-winning games such as Botanicula and Samorost.
Currently, the game costs approximately $20 on the Epic Games Store. Next week, you can download it for free.

Make Way
What can be better than competing and winning highly stylized races with arcade gameplay and tons of weapons and traps—like a top-view Mario Kart—, but with tracks that you (and your opponents) have just built? That is the weird recipe behind Make Way. Winning unlocks new track pieces and expands the possibilities to create unique tracks for fresh, hectic races.
Make Way also offers multiplatform support, so you can race your friends not only on PC (Steam and Battle.net), but also PlayStation (PS4/PS5), Xbox (One/Series), and even Nintendo Switch.
Make Way is currently not available on the Epic Games Store, but it costs $15 on Steam, where it has "very positive" reviews.
- Download Make Way from the Epic Games Store.
