It is now possible to download to new games for free from the Epic Games Store. A week after discounting the INDUSTRIA and LISA: Definitive Edition, Epic Games has applied the same treatment to Cat Quest II and Orcs Must Die! 3, which would normally cost $44.98.

For the last week, the Epic Games Store has been giving away LISA: Definitive Edition and INDUSTRIA, which it typically sells for $19.99 each. While these have now returned to their full prices, Epic Games has reduced another pair of games to $0.00 for another week. As always, you need to have an Epic Games Store account before you can participate in the promotion.

Specifically, it will be possible to download both Cat Quest II and Orcs Must Die! 3 for free until May 9 at 14:49 UTC. For reference Epic Games is offering the base game of both titles; a 'Complete Bundle' of Orc Must Die! 3 is also available. Incidentally, the pair average similar scores on Metacritic, with 76/100 for Cat Quest II and 77/100 for Orcs Must Die! 3 from numerous critic reviews. Conversely, Cat Quest II achieves a slightly higher user score of 7.8 versus 7.1 for Orcs Must Die! 3.

It is worth noting that Orcs Must Die! 3 has higher system requirements than Cat Quest II, the latter of which can run on a Core i7-7500U with its HD Graphics 620 iGPU. By contrast, the developers of Orcs Must Die! 3 recommend a Core i5-9600K processor or equivalent, as well as an AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB (curr. $164.99 - renewed on Amazon) GPU. Please see Epic Games Cat Quest II and Orcs Must Die! 3 pages for further redemption details.
