• Free Game: Hundred Days

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Sep 8 11:05:51 2022
    Alright, Epic; whatcha got for us this week?

    Hundred Days: Winemaking Simulator https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/hundred-days-winemaking-simulator

    Oooo-kay then. That's... unusual. A winemaking simulator? Never in a
    hundred days (or years) would I have guessed that would be the subject
    of a video game. But in a world where we have grass-mowing simulators,
    should I really be surprised? It looks like a typical management-sim
    from the 90s; top-down viewpoint, lots of graphs, SVGA graphics. It
    looks like an interesting - if very niche - game. I'm not sure I'll
    ever play it, but neither will I turn my nose up at the opportunity.
    <click> Well, too late to worry about it; it's in my library now. ;-)

    Oh, there's also some free-to-play game with bonus DLC. Not worth my
    time to even comment on, much less claim, but if you're interested,
    here's the link:

    You have six days, 23 hours, 54 minutes and counting to claim (as of
    this writing). Act fast! ;-)

    I think it is worth it as it says in the description that there are
    20+ million player. I might meet some nice people to play with.

    However, it is just the base game from what I see. How much are they
    suckering me into buying all the DLC that other people have and are
    playing on-line with? And way ahead of me in knowing how to play it!
