    It's not Thursday, and it's not on Epic Games Store, but it is a free
    game:

    Mido and Di
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/1691560/Mido_and_Di/

    At first glance, this game seems to get off to a good start: it's a >first-person shooter, it has aliens, it has zombies. That's three
    tick-boxes sure to bring in customers. On the other hand, it's also an
    Indie title with stylized graphics, techno soundtrack, and looks to be
    using the Unity engine. The Gods of Gaming give, and the Gods of
    Gaming take. Gameplay looks extremely simplistic and seems lacking in
    story and variety. Reviews are middling. Honestly, this probably isn't
    one to get... but it is free, so, you know, do what you want. My job
    is just to tell you about free games ;-)

    Even though it looks like a must have, I think I will pass :-)

    Like PW and JAB, I will pass..... on playing it. But that won't stop
    me from taking it.

    Thank you Spalls.

    I decided not to take it just in-case I get blind drunk and think I know
    what would be a good idea!

    For what it's worth - and at risk of enflaming rumors that I've been
    replaced by the lizard people - I didn't add this game to my library
    either. I was tempted, sure - free game! - but between the
    uninteresting design and the bad reviews, even I passed on the offer.

    Has there ever been a more damning condemnation of a game than it was
    so bad even /I/ didn't want it? ;-)
