Epic Games Store is offering the oil rush simulator Turmoil for free to claim

The holiday giveaways from the Epic Games Store have wrapped up, but it seems there are no intentions to discontinue its weekly free game promotions for PC players. This week, replacing Hell Let Loose, the store has introduced Turmoil, which can now be claimed for free. You have a week to secure it in your library permanently.

The latest free game available on the Epic Games Store is from 2016 and comes from the Dutch developer Gamious, known for their 2021 title, Lake. Specifically, the new free offering is Turmoil, a simulation game that draws inspiration from the oil rush in 19th century America.

In this simulation experience, you play as an oil tycoon embarking on a journey from poverty to wealth. Your tasks include leasing plots of land and searching for the precious resource, enhancing and equipping oil extraction operations, outsmarting competitors with dubious deals at the local saloon, and optimizing profits through price manipulation and outbidding others at stock auctions, among various strategies.

Players interested in exploring Turmoil, now available for free on the Epic Games Store, should plan to invest around 8-12 hours to finish the game, depending on how much side content they choose to engage with. Those aiming to complete all aspects of the game—reaching a 100 percent completion—should anticipate needing about 20-25 hours.

You can obtain this game at no cost. It is the complete version, not a limited trial or demo, and requires no subscription fees or hidden obligations. The only stipulation is that you must create a free Epic Games Store account. Once you claim the game, it will belong to you forever.

And as always, remember to use our comparison tool to find the best deal for your next favorite game.
