**Home - A Unique Horror Adventure and Sker Ritual are free to claim on the Epic Games Store until October 29, 2026, at 15:00 UTC.** The pair offers two very different horror evenings: a quiet mystery to explore alone and a shooter built for surviving with friends.

## Home: piece together your own explanation

BancyCo's **Home** begins with a stranger waking in an unfamiliar house. Its pixel art hides a mystery shaped by the clues you examine and the decisions you make, with multiple routes and endings.

This is a single-player adventure, and Epic lists controller support. A Postmortem Mode adds a developer diary and gallery for players interested in how the game was made.

## Sker Ritual: bring a squad or survive alone

Wales Interactive's **Sker Ritual** sends waves of supernatural enemies against **one to four players**, with online cooperation and difficulty that scales to the group. Between fights, players pursue objectives, upgrade weapons and collect Miracle powers that change their combat options.

It is an FPS spin-off of Maid of Sker. The giveaway covers the base game; the store lists cosmetic add-ons separately.

## Claim both before the deadline

Sign in to Epic, open each offer below and complete the free checkout for each game. Once claimed, both remain in your library after the promotion.

The deadline is **October 29 at 8 a.m. PDT / 11 a.m. EDT / 15:00 UTC**. Check the offer shown for your account, as availability can vary by region.
