    when you see it, give it an hour or three.

    Apparently it was only free for a brief period before being removed.
    Now the Epic Game Store just shows a blank spot with the words "Free
    Games" where you'd normally claim it.

    I was able to get the game for free at around 3:30 PM EST. Try again.
