Caravan SandWitch is free on PC for a limited time

PC players can claim Caravan SandWitch at no cost through the Epic Games Store for a limited period. This science-fiction exploration game offers a quieter alternative to the usual post-apocalyptic adventure.

Explore a peaceful post-apocalyptic world

Caravan SandWitch is set after an apocalyptic event, but its world is not centred on constant danger. Humans, robots and the indigenous Reinetos live and work together while facing the environmental challenges left behind.

You play as a young woman travelling in a yellow van while searching for her missing sister. During the journey, she also helps other people complete their own quests.

Giant storms and difficult environments shape the journey, yet there is no combat or death. Exploration, discovery and cooperation take priority over fighting for survival.

How to claim the free game

To add Caravan SandWitch to your library, sign in to the Epic Games Store and claim the offer. It is free until Thursday, 20 August, at 11 am EDT.

The game has earned a “Very Positive” player rating on Steam, based on more than 1,600 reviews. You can read those responses on Steam before deciding whether its slower, non-violent approach appeals to you.

A relaxed sci-fi adventure

Developer Plane Toast describes an inclusive setting in which communities support one another while dealing with the environmental consequences of their world. That idea carries through to a story focused on helping people and understanding the landscape, rather than defeating enemies.
