On top of that, and much more surprising, is that the game will be the EGS free game of the week when it relaunches. Set your calendars for January 27, which is a week from today. Daemon X Machina will be free for the taking as soon as the current game, mind-bogglingly clever puzzle game Relicta, is done hogging the spotlight.
