There's an additional 2 titles free right now, and Sifu is one of them - and that also looks amazing.

Whoa, thanks for the heads up. Sifu has been on my list for a while now.
That's odd, today's the release of the game on all platforms and they give it away on EGS.
For some background information on this: A year ago or more, we sent Epic an alpha, and they loved it. It was the first time we'd shared and received feedback on the game, so it was quite the morale booster for the team. They have a program where there's a kind of "game of the week" on the storefront. We were offered to take part in it for modest compensation, which was an exciting prospect for us, as they typically reach quite a large number of players with this. And we want nothing more than to bring our game to as many people as possible. It's for a very limited time, though.
Game development is a tough business (especially now). We’re hoping to reach a massive audience who will become champions for the game and help it spread through word of mouth, ultimately driving sales.
We hope fans will support us so that we can finance our next title, as our ambition is to build a franchise of truly crazy and ambitious games. 😊 Deliver At All Costs is just the beginning, we have something even crazier in the pipeline, though we’re many years away from that. 🤫

Unfortunately I've seen several negative reviews on Steam referencing the fact that it's free on Epic. Hopefully this decision doesn't hurt sales much because the game is unique and fun and well made.
I find it so odd. It basically doesn't affect the players giving the negatiea reviews in any way
A whole week isn't what I would call a "very limited time" but at the same time, best of luck to them.
