Today brings a surprisingly weird mix of giveaways across multiple storefronts. From experimental AI detective work to whatever is happening with that dinosaur game, here is what you can grab right now.

Epic Games Store

Vaudeville is an experimental whodunit where you play as a detective in a European city, using AI-driven natural language to interrogate suspects. The gimmick is that you can type or speak your questions directly to the characters. It is free on the Epic Games Store until May 17.

Steam

Terrors to Unveil - Day Off turns a relaxing weekend cottage trip into a first-person psychological horror nightmare. It is a short, standalone episode with multiple endings, and you can claim it on Steam until May 19.

Dino running from a FURRY: GAMESFORFARM is exactly what it sounds like. It is a bizarre 2.5D endless runner where you play as a dinosaur escaping a furry, and it is free to keep on Steam until May 30.

Itch.io and Browser

According to Neo Generation Games, Steam Empires Mini-RTS is a steampunk real-time strategy game built around an alternate history clash between Great Britain and Russia, and they originally designed it for the PlayStation Portable. It is available now as a name-your-own-price download on Itch.io.
