Is Flotsam Free?
Flotsam is not free-to-play. As of 7 Nov 2026, Epic is running a limited free-to-claim promotion, with source-specific end dates listed below. There is no demo and no browser version.

The Epic window, kept as two clocks
On 7 Nov 2026 the Epic product page said “Free Now” and “Free Now - Nov 13 at 12:00 AM”. IGN India (updated 6 Nov 2026) gives 12 November. 4Gamer gives 13 November at 01:00 in its Japanese article; the scraped text does not explicitly name the timezone. I will not merge those into a single timestamp. If you are reading this after the window, the page stays as a record of a past giveaway rather than a promise that the game is still free.
IGN and 4Gamer independently describe the promotion as free distribution. Their articles confirm the giveaway; neither article is used here as evidence of a specific post-promotion ownership policy.

Demo, browser, and paid stores
The Steam listing has no demo field and the store page has no demo button. itch.io calls the game a downloadable Windows build. A normal purchase is $24.99 on Steam. This page does not link repacks or cracked copies.
Questions
Can I play Flotsam in the browser?
No. itch.io and Steam both describe a Windows download. This site has nothing to embed.
Is the Epic copy still free?
Only inside the window above. After that date, use the download page for Steam, GOG and itch.io.
