With September coming to a close, the holiday season is growing nearer, which is always an exciting time for video game enthusiasts one way or another—be it because of the new releases before the end of the year, or the prominent sales on most relevant storefronts like the Epic Games Store. The Epic Games Store has the advantage of bringing back players almost every week year-round for a free game they can experience at no extra charge, which makes these freebies a great way to spend time between the last few new titles of the year fans are looking forward to.
There are still plenty of chances for other genres to get the spotlight, but the latest two free games seem to be perfect for those who adore adventures with—or as—animals. The Spirit and the Mouse is currently being given away as a free game and is a cute, uplifting platformer. However, now the management adventure game Bear & Breakfast is being offered at no charge right on October 3, which means those who love cozy games with animal friends have hit the jackpot.
Epic Games Store Free Game Bear & Breakfast Explained
With Bear & Breakfast coming to the Epic Games Store free games promotion, it’s ironically reminiscent of Ratatouille‘s Remy and his dream to become a chef regardless of being a rat, except players will be a bear who wishes to run a relaxing bed and breakfast as a bear. As a forest creature, fans will need to use an understanding of the woodland landscape to build the getaway locale they wish to manage through crafting and other quests from other animals and humans. Once their bed and breakfast is up and running, players will need to keep guests happy by fulfilling their requests and filling their bellies.
Plus, Bear & Breakfast is widely praised for it’s satisfying gameplay loop that keeps the right mood going. The bear’s adventures will also take a considerable amount of time to see to the end with an average of 34 and a half hours needed to 100% complete everything it has to offer.
Why Players Should Check Out Both The Spirit and the Mouse and Bear & Breakfast
On a rather simplistic level, both The Spirit and the Mouse and Bear & Breakfast are well-rated cozy games staring animals despite the fact that they’re rather different mechanically. The Spirit and the Mouse is a rather breezy platformer in terms of difficulty, finishing up after about five hours, so if players want something similar with more challenge and length, Bear & Breakfast may be just the game they’re looking for.
Even if The Spirit and the Mouse didn’t interest gamers on the Epic Games Store when it was revealed, there’s a chance that Bear & Breakfast might, as it serves a completely different genre. If players still don’t think these games are worth picking up, then they may find something more up their alley when the next game or two are announced on October 3 at 10 AM CT with Bear & Breakfast‘s promotion going live.
