Double Fine’s Costume Quest is the first game and follows three children as they save their neighborhood from the candy-stealing Grubbins before they ruin Halloween.

The adventure RPG features turn-based combat where the children actually transform into the costumes they’re wearing, such as a robot, pirate, or even candy corn.

The game and its sequel are also on sale during the Halloween Steam sale separately or in a bundle for $5.

The other PC game now available is Soma, a sci-fi horror game from the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The 2015 horror game takes place in an underwater facility filled with “corrupted humans, twisted creatures, insane robots, and even an inscrutable omnipresent A.I” with no way to fight them back.

Costume Quest and Soma are now available for free on the Epic Games Store beginning today until next Thursday, Nov. 7.

The next two free games that will be offered by the launcher next week will be Vlambeer’s roguelike Nuclear Throne and cyberpunk game Ruiner published by Devlover Digital. Both top-down shooters will be available for free for one week from Nov. 7 until Nov. 14.
