Deal | Epic Games Store closes out May 2026 mystery free games with two indie hits

Epic Games Store has revealed the final mystery free games of May 2026, and they match the hints that the storefront has previously shared. Among the two, one of them is Calico, which is basically the highlight of this giveaway.

Developed by Peachy Keen Games, it's a day-in-the-life community sim game that gives players one primary task: rebuild the town's cat café. All the animals in the game are interactive, and it's full of decorative elements that players can use to shape up their place.

Since its release, this Epic Games Store free game has received over 2,600 reviews on Steam, and 88% of them are positive. However, as some players note, there are no complex challenges, and the gameplay is quite limited. When not on sale, Calico goes for $11.99, and until June 04, 2026, it will be available for $0.

The second free game on Epic Games Store is Lonestar, a strategic roguelike spaceship deckbuilder from 2025. One of the big highlights is that it has a wide range of characters and spaceships. Unlike the first freebie, this one challenges players with 15 "dangerous" boss-level felons. There's proper controller support as well (GameSir Nova Lite 2 curr. $26.99 on Amazon).

On Steam, it has over 800 reviews, and among all of them, 90% of them are positive, making this free game on Epic Games Store hold a "Very Positive" rating. It's worth noting that there are some upgrade options that are confusing, and the difficulty curve isn't fully balanced. Its retail price is $12.99, but it will be available for free until June 04, 2026. Check out the videos below to learn more about these freebies.
