That offer is over. As of October 8, 2026, neither game is established as a current free claim, so check Epic’s live free games page before acting on any older listing.
What the offer was
Neowin’s report on March 27, 2025, described the first week of the Epic Games Store Spring Sale mystery giveaway. The two titles were live for PC players, and the report said a new mystery game would replace them on Thursday, April 3, 2025. The key facts are:
- Platform: PC, per the 2025 report. The report does not describe a mobile version of this offer.
- Promotion: the Epic Games Store Spring Sale mystery giveaway.
- Window: the first week of the promotion, ending when the next mystery game took over on April 3, 2025.
- Cost to the claimer: free, as the headline describes.
Epic’s official free games page says it publishes a new free game every Thursday on Mobile and PC. That is the general cadence. It does not tell you which games are free on a given week, so the 2025 pair should not be assumed to recur.
The two games
Cat Quest
Cat Quest is an open-world action RPG set in the land of Felingard. You play a hero cat on a mission to rescue his sister, who has been catnapped. The 2025 report attributes the game to developer The Gentlebros and includes the following developer description:
#1 Best Overall
- 3-pawsome-games-in-1 including a 'Meowvelous' Vinyl Sticker
- Embark on a fantasy catventure in Cat Quest
- Explore a land of cats and dogs in Cat Quest II
- Discover secret pirate treasures asnd sail the seas in Cat Quest III
- The 'Cativating' World of Cat Quest Digital Art book
“The world of Felingard is littered with interesting places and people! Discover a possessed town whose residents lust for obscene amounts of meat, assist the mages Mewlin and Meowgan in their search to break a magic seal, and locate someone’s missing delivery of “House of Parchments” and “The Pouncing Dead”. Exploration is one of the main scratching posts of Cat Quest”
The report presents this as the developer’s own description and does not name an individual speaker or role, so it should be credited to The Gentlebros alone.
Rank #2
- Retail Edition includes The Cat’s Meow’ of Navigation Maps and a Pawsitively Purr-fect Sticker Sheet
- The cat is back, this time fighting pi-rats in a new Action-RPG adventure
- Explore an incredible pirate world filled with treasures - the Purribean; Sail your very own ship and engage in sea battles

Neko Ghost, Jump
Neko Ghost, Jump is a puzzle platformer in which levels use both 2D and 3D perspectives. The 2025 report credits Burgos Games as developer, says the game has over 40 levels, and highlights speed running as a central part of play. Its story follows Nekoman, whose friends and family are abducted by Space Dog Pirates on his wedding day.
How the two compare
The two games are built around very different experiences. The table uses only what the 2025 report describes. Where it says nothing, the cell reads “not stated.”

Whether you can still claim them
No. The 2025 report placed the offer in a single week and named April 3, 2025 as the replacement date. Nothing in the available evidence shows these titles being offered again. A search result or social post that says “free this week” for these games is describing a past offer.
How to check what is free now
- Open the Epic Games Store page on PC and go to its free games section, or visit Epic’s official free games page.
- Look for the offer’s end date on the game’s store page. Epic free offers are time-limited, so a title is only claimable until that date.
- Confirm the platform. Epic’s general cadence covers Mobile and PC, so a listing for another platform may not apply to you.
- Click the claim button on the store page and sign in if asked. Claimed titles are added to your Epic library.
- Open your library to confirm the game appears before the offer window closes.
If a listing for Cat Quest or Neko Ghost, Jump appears with a current end date, treat it as a new offer and verify it using the steps above. Do not rely on the 2025 report for its dates or conditions.

What this report can and cannot tell you
The report confirms the two games, their developers, their descriptions, and the 2025 timing. It does not establish regional availability, price, or any offer after April 3, 2025. Those details need to come from Epic’s own pages at the time you check.
For a game that is no longer free, the useful next step is a standard store listing. The game remains a story-rich choice for players who like exploration, or for players who enjoy puzzle platformers with perspective changes and speed-running goals.
