[Damn it, I did it again! Posted to the wrong newsgroup!
Oh well, reposting here]

I wish Epic would give us a break from these freebies. Not because I'm
tired of getting new games, but I need time to recharge my
"introductometer" that I use to preface all these posts! I'm running
out of new things to say! Quick, let's just jump to the game!

No, that's not a joke. I'm not hiding the name of the
game from you. The game is literally called "[Redacted]".
And hey, it's yet another top-down shooter with rogue-lite
elements. I guess that's the theme for Epic's give-aways
this season? I wish there was more variety; after the other
dozen or so top-down shooters with rogue-lite elements we
already get, it's sort of hard for me to care about this
top-down shooter with rogue-lite elements. Oh well, I'm sure
tomorrow's game will be much more novel.

Just so you know, I write these introductions and conclusitory remarks
ahead of time. That way all I have to do is slot in the title, URL and
a few sentences on the game itself, once I learn what the game is. It
saves time!

Speaking of time, 24 hours is how long you have to grab this game.
Again. I don't know why I keep reminding you either.

Me too. Which is how the whole thing happens. I read c.s.i.p.g.rpg
after c.s.i.p.g.action, so when I go to post a new comment (like, say,
announcing a free game!), I forget to click on the appropriate
newsgroup first, so the post ends up in the wrong place.

As a side note:

Apparently "[Redacted]" is part of the "Callisto Protocol" franchise,
so if you enjoyed the setting of that game you've another reason to
grab this freebie.
