Epic Games is offering Flotsam, a $24.99 floating-city survival game, free to keep until November 12. Players can also claim an Idle Champions Dungeons & Dragons reward pack containing five champions and 160 Platinum Chests.

There's still time to pick up a floating-city builder without paying a penny. Epic Games is giving away Flotsam, normally priced at $24.99, until 12 November. The promotion also includes a substantial bonus pack for the free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons strategy game Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms.

The two offers work differently, however. Flotsam is free to claim and keep, while Idle Champions players must launch the game through Epic during the promotional period to receive their rewards.

Build a floating town from the world's rubbish

Developed by Pajama Llama Games and published by Stray Fawn Publishing, Flotsam takes place in a flooded world where survivors build their homes from whatever washes up.

Plastic, driftwood and scrap metal become the foundations of a floating settlement. Players must secure food and drinking water, manage their community and sail between locations to salvage materials, rescue survivors and uncover traces of the old world.

Despite its post-apocalyptic setting, the game has a colourful, almost cheerful appearance. It normally costs $24.99 on Epic's US storefront, but anyone who claims it before the deadline can keep it in their library.

Five D&D champions and 160 chests

Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms players can claim five champions and 160 Platinum Chests through Epic Games until 12 November.

The second offer centres on Morte, the talking skull from Planescape: Torment.

Epic's Idle Champions listing confirms that Morte's Champions of Renown Pack unlocks Morte, Nordom, Donaar, Sentry and Sheila, along with 32 Platinum Chests for each character.

That makes 160 chests altogether, plus two week-long potions and an exclusive Kapak Draconian familiar. Epic values the pack at more than $100, although that is the company's stated valuation rather than a cash saving on the free-to-play base game.

Both promotions end on 12 November at 16:00 GMT. Players can claim Flotsam through its Epic Games Store page, while the Idle Champions pack requires logging into the game through Epic before the offer expires.

Epic has also listed Knightica as its next free PC game, beginning on 12 November.
