Turmoil is now free to keep on the
Epic Games Store,
which is settling back into its weekly giveaway schedule following a holiday
spree. It's not clear if there will be blood, but this Windows and macOS game
allows players to drill for oil in the earliest days of prospecting. It promises
a tongue-in-cheek experience, which is demonstrated by the
Turmoil Release Trailer
from 2016. You have to claim your copy over this
week, as next Thursday
Escape
Academy will be unshackled as the next freebie. Here's more of what this
includes, such as the far-fetched premise of buying your way into politics:
Get a taste of the rush and rivalry of the time as you earn your way to
become a successful oil entrepreneur. As you make money digging up and selling
oil, the town will grow along with you.
Lease land at the town auction and search for oil. Build a rig, create an
efficient pipe network and bring up the oil to store it in silos. Sell the oil
at the best times to maximize profits. Then buy essential upgrades in town to
cope with rock, gas and ice. Acquire more town shares than your competitors in a
bid to become the new
mayor.
