Caravan SandWitch is a cosy post-apocalyptic adventure free on the Epic Games Store

• The latest freebie on the Epic Games Store is here: Caravan SandWitch
• Dive into a post-apocalyptic adventure with just a hint of hope
• Explore the wide world of Cigalo and help its inhabitants persist

By its very nature, the post-apocalypse setting tends to be a pretty dour affair. I mean, the collapse of all that you know and love is hardly the place for a Diner Dash-style cooking sim. But if you really want something just a tad lighter, why not dig into Caravan SandWitch, free to claim on the Epic Games Store for mobile this week?

Yes, it's another EGS freebie! And this time around it's actually a relatively recent release. We covered Caravan SandWitch only a few weeks ago when it landed on iOS and Android, seeing you explore the once-green planet of Cigalo and helping its people survive.

No such thing as a free lunch

With Epic seemingly winning out over Google and Apple, it's been easier than ever to download the Epic Games Store for mobile. And with that comes the company's unusual tactic of giving away great games entirely for free.

Now, I can't be the only one who hasn't really bought anything (save The Outer Worlds) from the EGS before. But equally, I don't know anyone who'll say no to a free game in their library. And on mobile it's doubly welcome to have something as recent and content-rich as Caravan SandWitch to play.

Of course, I've been saying that for a while now. But the Epic Games Store still seems yet to really eclipse its predecessors on mobile. With the increasing presence of third-party app stores, though, it could very well be in only a few years where we're all using the Epic Games Store!

However, the Epic Games Store is far from the only place to find great new releases on mobile. Why not check out our latest feature covering the five new mobile games to try this week for some of the most interesting picks from the last seven days?
