Upcoming Epic Games Store free game for PC leaks ahead of schedule

There are currently two free games for PC available on Epic Games Store, and they are about to expire on August 14, 2025, at UTC 15:00. After that, a new set of freebies will go live, and the storefront will also reveal what's in store for the period from August 21 to August 28 with this update on the free game section.

However, ahead of the official reveal, MeguminShiro, a credible leaker, has leaked what Epic Games Store will offer during that period. It's for PC, and the freebie under the spotlight is Strange Horticulture.

Developed by Bad Viking, this 2022 puzzle-adventure game makes players take the role of a horticulturist. The protagonist inherits a mysterious local plant store called Strange Horticulture, and the core gameplay is all about fulfilling the requests of the store's customers.

These requests are mostly about a variety of fictional plants, and players get an incomplete encyclopedia to fulfill these requests. This upcoming Epic Games Store free game also encourages exploration, which often leads to the discovery of mysterious plant specimens.

As for the storyline, it largely depends on the choices made during the interactions with the characters. There are multiple outcomes, and each choice has an effect on the fate of the characters.

Another highlight of this soon-to-be freebie is that it features a calm, atmospheric presentation. It's mostly a point-and-click game, and the sound design is regarded as soothing by players who have tried the title.

Strange Horticulture generally goes for $15.99 when there's no sale, and it flaunts a "Very Positive" rating on Steam with over 12 thousand reviews. You can learn more about this upcoming free game on Epic Games Store from the video attached below.
