The Epic Games Store"s freebie train stopped at an indie title this week. As announced, a copy of Islets is what"s available to claim, a well-received indie title by developer Kyle Thompson.

Described as a wholesome metroidvania experience, Islets puts you into the shoes of a warrior hopping between floating islands while fighting enemies, making friends, and doing challenges. You"ll be contending with monsters and sky pirates while combining various floating islands to expand the available map area.

Islets is currently free to claim on the Epic Games Store until April 4. Next week will be a big giveaway, with both The Outer Worlds: Spacer"s Choice Edition and Thief coming in as freebies.

The Humble Store brought out another one of its high-profile virtual reality bundles yesterday.

The packed Mystery & Mayhem VR bundle carries A Fisherman"s Tale for $4, followed by Arizona Sunshine Deluxe Edition and Broken Edge in the $10 second tier. The third tier ups the ante with copies of Another Fisherman"s Tale, After the Fall: Deluxe Edition, and No More Rainbows for $15. The bundle finishes up with The 7th Guest and Firmament for $20.

Horror fans also had a bundle to check out this week. The Spring Screams bundle has Escape the Backrooms, Devour, Demonologist, and Forewarned for $9. To complete the bundle, you can pay $17, and it adds on Amnesia: The Bunker, The Quarry, Ad Infinitum, and My Friendly Neighborhood.
