There's an old chestnut about how if you confront an average D&D party with a door, they'll try anything except going through it.

Before the next game in the series Styx: Blades of Greed comes out in February, the Styx series is making its first appearance on the Epic Games Store -- and to celebrate, the previous two entries in this series are free this week.

The rain worked the window like it had a grudge. I sat at my desk in a cramped office, coat still on, lamp buzzing, the city outside dripping neon and regret.

Move over, whatever plans you had for the new year -- it's time for another Awesome Games Done Quick!

Every year the Epic Games Store gives away a game for free every day toward the end of the year, giving gamers a reason to celebrate the holiday season other than egg nog and cookies.
