Epic Games Store: Free Nova Lands and Tattoo Tycoon July 9–16

Epic Games Store is offering Nova Lands and Tattoo Tycoon free on PC from July 9 to July 16. The promotion starts at 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET / 4 p.m. BST / 5 p.m. CEST on July 9 and ends at the same time on July 16. Games claimed during that window remain in a player’s Epic library permanently.

Nova Lands, developed by BEHEMUTT and normally priced at $19.99, is a side-scrolling open-world game focused on base building and automation. Players set up production lines and deploy bots to gather resources and maintain output. The game begins on a small island and opens additional islands through exploration and quests. The store page compares its systems to Factorio, Forager and Satisfactory. Players can choose to engage in combat or avoid it. Nova Lands has a 4.8 rating on the Epic Games Store.

Tattoo Tycoon, developed by Crazy Bunch and usually priced at $29.99, is a management simulation about reviving and running a tattoo parlor. Players pick shop locations, design interiors and perform tattoos through a mini-game that requires watching customers’ pain tolerance, applying ink correctly and removing excess ink to prevent poor results. Consulting clients to learn their preferences, creating characters and decorating the shop are part of progression. Tattoo Tycoon has a 4.1 rating on the Epic storefront.

Epic runs a weekly free games program that rotates titles on a seven-day schedule. Both Nova Lands and Tattoo Tycoon can be claimed for free during the July 9–16 week and will remain in a player’s library after claiming.
