Like many other survival games,Stranded Deepuses procedural generationso no two games are exactly the same.

Something interesting to note aboutStranded Deepis that it’s one of the rare PC games that actually supports local co-op play.Stranded Deepsplit-screen co-opis available in the PC version of the survival game, so that’s another feature that fans can check out after adding the game to their Epic Games Store collection.
Meanwhile, December 29 will bring with it a free game of its own, and since theleaked list of Epic Games Store December 2020 free gameshas proven to be completely accurate so far, fans have a very good idea of what tomorrow’s game will be. Unless Epic Games Store decides to throw fans a curveball, it seems as though the free game for December 29 isSolitairica.Solitairicacombines the classic card game Solitaire with RPG and roguelike elements to create a completely unique concept. It has had a relatively positive reception so far, and now it will be able to reach a much wider audience.
AfterSolitairica, two more games will be part of the Epic Games Store free games lineup for December 2020.Torchlight 2is the free game for December 30, whereasJurassic World Evolutionis the free game for December 31. Again, it’s always possible Epic Games Store will decide to do something else, but the leak has been 100% accurate so far, and it’s hard to see that changing in the coming days.
