    Free until next month, only through Epic store:
    https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/transistor/home

    If you don't like Epic store (you are always free to do that but I don't care if you do so please keep your reasons to yourself) - Steam has it for $20:
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/237930/Transistor/

    For those who don't know - it's a Sci-Fi Action RPG game with beautiful art style and music. It's not very heavy on hardware and can be run on various low-powered notebooks, the Intel GPU can run it well.

    Am I supposed to be amused by this photo in any way? Or what is the other purpose of it? Serious question. I downloaded Transistor, it works, I didn't pay anything and nothing bad happened to my laptop, so...

    :) I'm sorry but that just popped into my mind and I giggled when I saw y'all jumping on the epic train(wreck) for free $20. No harm intended.

    Honestly, it's on sale all of the time and I'd rather pay a couple of bucks than have to install another launcher. I hate bloatware and 1 game launcher is really all I'm ready to deal with, any 3rd party games have to work with this existing one or work without one entirely.

    That aside, exclusives are a pest upon the free market. Steam does not work towards that other stores cannot have the games marketed in their stores. The one exception I can sort of get are in-house development (I don't play Blizzard games, but it's their own games in their own launcher, so whatever.)

    If you do not prefer to use Epic launcher - I provided a link to same game in Steam store in my original post. Or you did not notice that?
