Moving Out, a neat couch co-op game, is free today on the Epic Games Store

The daily game giveaways are still underway When I say “couch co-op,” I mean it!Moving Outis a fumbling cooperative multiplayer game about chucking people’s stuff — including actual couches — into a truck, and it’sfree to claim on PCtoday from the Epic Games Store.

I moved from one chamber to the next, anxiously investigating the structure, sighing in relief upon clearing the final alcove. No hostiles. It was safe. Or so I thought.
