The Epic Games Store free game for October 3 to October 10 is confirmed and unveiled as Bear & Breakfast. It works in a spectacular way that users receive a new free game every week, while also being hinted at on what next week’s offerings are set to be.
Epic Games Store users have the opportunity to grab The Spirit and the Mouse completely free of charge. The Spirit and the Mouse was originally launched in 2022 and received the majority of positive reviews from critics, with a respectable 75 overall rating on the review aggregate site OpenCritic.
Moreover, Spirit and the Mouse is a comfortable game where players find a French village as a mouse, helping out the townspeople by completing quests and mini-games. It should only take five hours or so to complete, for those looking to play something a little shorter.

Epic Games Store users can keep The Spirit and the Mouse forever as long as they get it during its free availability window. The Spirit and the Mouse is set to be replaced by Bear & Breakfast. Bear & Breakfast also received the exact same 75 overall ratings that The Spirit and the Mouse did.
Epic Games Store free games lineup
- The Spirit and the Mouse (September 26 - October 3)
- Bear and Breakfast (October 3 - October 10)
In Bear & Breakfast, players run a Bed & Breakfast as a bear. It allows players to customise their inn, work to keep their guests happy, complete quests, and explore the surrounding forest.
Epic Games Store users have one week to claim Bear & Breakfast. The game will be replaced by a different free game on October 10, but at this point, it's anyone's guess as to what that game will be.
It is expected that the game will be horror-themed, but that's just speculation at this time. Plenty of horror games have been given away for free through the Epic Games Store in the past.
