The Epic Games Store is offering Korean mystery adventure 'Buried Stars' for free through the 8th.
Epic Games is distributing 'Buried Stars' for free on the Epic Games Store until midnight on the 9th. Once added to a user's library during the promotional period, the game remains permanently accessible even after the giveaway ends.
Buried Stars begins as a studio building collapses during a live survival audition show. Trapped in the rubble, contestants and crew members use clues gathered from conversations and social media to deduce the truth behind the incident, encountering murder cases along the way. The game features a multi-ending structure that branches based on the protagonist's mental strength and character relationships, and supports both Korean and Japanese voice acting.
Buried Stars was directed by Jin Seung-ho, also known by his pen name 'Suilbae', who is famous for 'Black Room' and 'Gray City'. It was first released in July 2020 on PS4, PS Vita, and Nintendo Switch, followed by a PC release in 2021 and an iOS launch in 2025.
The game received acclaim for its suspenseful story, psychological deduction, and high-quality artwork, earning two honors at the 2020 Korea Game Awards: the Technical Achievement Award (Planning/Scenario) and the Excellence Award. The following year, it also won the Best PC & Console Award at the MWU Korea Awards 2021.
Meanwhile, 'System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster', which was made free alongside it, is currently unavailable on the Korean store due to release procedures.
Adding Buried Stars to your library can be done through the Epic Games Store.
