Even if players don’t intend to check it out right away, navigating to the Epic Games Store page and downloading the games to play later is a great way to build up an evergrowing backlog. Luckily, these games rotate at the same time every day, meaning fans know to check out each new release at 10 am CT. And fitting that pattern, the fourth free Epic Games Store mystery game has been revealed.

Sable is an open-world exploration game, where players must explore the desert planet of Midden. She’ll meet several characters, complete several tasks in the open world, and solve puzzles through platforming gameplay. It’s a pretty straightforward adventure game, but it also doubles as an excellent indie gem for the Epic Games Store.
Of course, the mystery game promotion is still in its early days, but many are becoming curious if this year will match past years or not. In the past, the Epic Games Store free game mystery promotion has added Control, Prey, Borderlands 3, and many more beloved AAA games. Indie games are more than welcome on the Epic Games Store—in fact, it could be said the service specializes in them—but many are hoping the promotion kicks it up a notch for the holiday.
Epic Games Store users get a handful of games every month.
