Point-and-click adventure game Botanicula is free to claim on the Epic Games Store

It's that time again to snag another freebie from the Epic Games Store. PC gamers can now obtain a copy of Botanicula as part of this week's promotion, a game from the developers known for the Machinarium and Samorost series. This title takes the place of the River City Girls giveaway from the previous week. As usual, you have one week to add this latest game to your library permanently.

Created by Amanita Design and released in 2012, Botanicula is a point-and-click adventure celebrated for its artistic style, narrative, and gameplay mechanics. Set within a beautifully crafted tree environment, the story centers around five characters—Mr. Lantern, Mr. Twig, Mr. Poppy Head, Mr. Feather, and Mrs. Mushroom—who embark on a quest to protect the last seed of their home from encroaching parasites.

Each character boasts unique skills and traits, and the studio highlights the absence of "text or lengthy dialogues" as a distinct feature. Exploration and hidden surprises play a significant role in the game, with a secret awaiting those who collect all the collectible cards by the end.

Additionally, it's important to mention that alongside this week's free game, there is a new week-long promotion for the free-to-play game Firestone Online Idle RPG. Specifically, players who log into the game on the Epic Games Store between now and April 24 will earn an exclusive skin and $100 worth of in-game currency.

The newly launched Botanicula giveaway is currently live on the Epic Games Store. Typically priced at $14.99, it is available for free to all PC gamers for the next week. This giveaway will continue until April 24, when a different free game will be available.

And as always, be sure to utilize our comparator to check for the best deals on your upcoming favorite titles.
