Epic Games Store reveals August 2025's penultimate batch of free games for PC

Hidden Folks and Totally Reliable Delivery Service Standard Edition are now available on the Epic Games Store as free games. These two will be available to claim for $0 throughout the period from August 14 to August 21, 2025, ending at UTC 15:00.

After that, as Epic Games Store has just revealed, two more titles will be available on the PC free game section. This penultimate free game batch will bring Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge and Strange Horticulture down to $0 on the storefront. Both are indie titles, and they are worth around $36 in total when there's no sale in place.

Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge - a soon-to-be casual-simulation freebie

Among the two upcoming free games on Epic Games Store, Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge is regarded as a cozy farming and creature-collection simulation game. Released in 2024, the game's story is centered around restoring a wetland sanctuary for frogs.

Players take the role of Cleo, tasked to create a safe haven for over 500 frog species. The core gameplay of this soon-to-be free game involves feeding, breeding, collecting, and photographing frogs. As the players progress, the in-game encyclopedia also makes progress in terms of completion.

Another highlight of Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge is the blend of painterly art style with calming piano music. This combination, according to players, creates a relaxing atmosphere. This title has a "Very Positive" rating on Steam and generally goes for $19.99, but from August 21 to August 22, it will be available as a free game on the Epic Games Store.

Strange Horticulture - an occult puzzle that will be free on Epic Games Store soon

The other free game that's confirmed to be available soon on Epic Games Store is Strange Horticulture. It was released in 2022 and is categorized as a puzzle title, and as the name suggests, it's mostly about plants. To be specific, the main tasks are to find, identify, and sell a broad range of strange yet mystical plants.

Strange Horticulture demands careful observation, and players often need to decode cryptic clues to find new locations on the map. There are detective-style puzzle-solving elements as well, and thanks to the point-and-click mechanics, it's easy to get started with the game.

Other than that, this soon-to-be free game is also known for having multiple endings, and it all depends on the choices that the players make. It has a "Very Positive" rating on Steam and goes for $15.99 when there are no discounts in place, but from August 21 to August 28, it will drop to $0 on Epic Games Store.
