Breaking Bad Style Management Sim is Now Free on PC

With every passing week, the Epic Games Store cements its reputation as the go-to destination for freebies more and more, offering a new title every seven days to please its community.

And this week’s offering just went live, and if you’re a fan of management sims – and still an orphan of the hit series Breaking Bad like me – trust me, this one was made for you!

That’s because the free game of the week is Definitely Not Fried Chicken, and you should take that title very seriously. It is a business management sim where you run a restaurant specializing in chicken, but the twist is that, behind the scenes, you’re also managing a business that isn’t exactly… legal. And yes, we’re talking about a narcotics empire, just as you probably guessed from the article’s title.

“Grow your trade through legitimate fronts, managing both sides of the business,” reads the game's description on Epic Games Store. “Acquire new ‘businesses,’ meet new clientele, develop more ‘product,’ making lots of money and leaving the city in ruin!” – by that I imagine that you already got the idea! And indeed, it is as fun and chaotic as it sounds.

How to Claim Your Free Copy of Definitely Not Fried Chicken

To claim your copy of Definitely Not Fried Chicken and keep it forever, simply head over to the game’s page on the Epic Games Store by clicking here. From there, log in to your account (or create a new one if you don’t already have one) and hit the “Get” button.

You will then head to the checkout (just as if you were actually buying the game), where you will see the price tag sit at exactly zero dollars. Once you finalize the “purchase,” the game will automatically appear in your library, ready for you to start building your “chicken” empire.

Just make sure to act fast, as the game will only be free for one week! The offer ends on February 5th, when a new title will step in to replace it. Don't leave it until the last minute to add this one to your collection.

Oh, and just to reinforce: this is a completely free-to-keep copy of the game, meaning it stays in your library forever even after the promotion ends next week.
