Epic Games are keeping up their conga-line of free titles available from the Epic Games Store, continuing to offer wonderfully varied genres and styles. This fortnight there's a distinct change of pace as the 'Metrodvania' Axiom Verge gives way to Thimbleweed Park, a mysterious retro point-and-click adventure from the makers of Monkey Island and Manic Mansion.
The draw of Thimbleweed Park is in its story, and because of that we won't be spoiling anything beyond this brief official synopsis:
A haunted hotel, an abandoned circus, a burnt-out pillow factory, a dead body pixelating under the bridge, toilets that run on vacuum tubes... you’ve never visited a place like this before.
In Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems. Switch between five playable characters to uncover the surreal secrets of this strange town in a modern mystery adventure game from the creators of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion. The deeper you go, the weirder it gets.

To claim your free copy you will need an Epic Games Store account, and that's it. The promotion runs until March 7th, at which time Slime Rancher will replace it as the Store's free game.
