For those who haven’t connected the dots yet, the new free Epic Games Store game is Brotato from developer Blobfish, who also independently published the game.

“A spaceship from Potato World crashes on an alien planet,” reads an official in-game elevator pitch. “The Sole Survivor: Brotato, the only potato capable of handling 6 weapons at the same time. While waiting to be rescued by his comrades, Brotato must survive in this hostile environment.”

Those who decide to check out Brotato now that it’s free via the Epic Games Store should expect a game that can be beaten in around five hours. However, a playthrough of the game, which requires playing it more than once, will take closer to 50 to 60 hours. To this end, the game has plenty of replayability, but is also short for those looking for a little game to play, which is part of the reason it has proven so popular.
