Figment and Backpack Hero Leaked as Epic Games Store Free Games for July 3-10

The Epic Games Store is back with another round of free games, and this time, it's two titles that have been making waves in the indie gaming community. According to recent leaks, Figment and Backpack Hero will be available for free on the Epic Games Store from July 3 to July 10.

Figment is a stylish action-adventure puzzle game from indie developer Bedtime Digital Games. Players join grumpy old man Dusty and his cheery friend Piper on an adventure to retrieve Dusty's scrapbook from the nightmare that stole it. The game has been listed as a freebie on the Epic Games Store before, and it looks like players will have another chance to add it to their libraries at the beginning of July.

On the other hand, Backpack Hero is a self-described inventory management game from indie developer Jaspel. The game stars a cast of anthropomorphic animals as they fight various enemies and organize their packs on a dungeon-crawling adventure. Despite its charming pixel-art style, learning how to beat Backpack Hero can be a daunting task for new players, considering its unique inventory-centric mechanics and difficult enemies.

The Epic Games Store has consistently provided gamers with a variety of games completely free for almost seven years. As of this writing, the Epic Games Store has given away over 500 games, from little-known indie darlings to triple-A games like Grand Theft Auto 5. Although many die-hard fans swear by Valve's more ubiquitous Steam as their launcher of choice, the Epic Games Store has provided a solid alternative for patient gamers on a budget.

So mark your calendars for July 3 and get ready to add two more games to your library for free!
