Relaxing Simulator Is Free on Epic for a Limited Time

Relaxing Simulator, the casual sim from Ares-X, is now free to claim on the Epic Games Store. Its regular price in China is 25 yuan, and players can add it to their library until 1 a.m. Beijing time on June 15. This is a small-scale freebie rather than a marquee Epic promotion, but the deadline is straightforward.

Unlike the usual survival sims, building games, or checklist-heavy management titles, Relaxing Simulator takes a much more stripped-down approach. It has no main story, no enemies, no competitive play, and no hard objectives. It is built around an "electronic walk." You play as a wandering soul, slowly drifting through forests, islands, ruins, and other environments. That puts it closer to a scenery-focused unwind app than a traditional game with a clear end point.

One feature that helps it stand out among walking sims is its support for adjustable weather and lighting. It is a simple feature, but it makes sense here: games built around relaxation can go flat quickly if the atmosphere never shifts. Letting players tune the environment gives the same spaces different moods, whether they are idling, zoning out, or hanging in voice chat.

The game also includes a lightweight achievement system and a playful global leaderboard. In a more demanding game, those features might barely matter, but here they fit the design. Since there is no central progression track and no high-pressure goals, the achievements and rankings feel less like efficiency traps and more like low-stakes feedback for players who like to leave the game running. The official line is that these systems are aimed at idle players.

The other notable part is multiplayer. A lot of low-pressure games are built for solitude, but Relaxing Simulator lets you walk and chat with friends, turning solo downtime into an easy social hangout. It is not trying to hold players with dungeons, versus play, or co-op objectives. The draw is simply an online space where people can wander and talk together.

As for whether it is worth claiming, 25 yuan is not a high asking price to begin with, but free removes almost all risk. If you mainly want narrative momentum, combat feedback, or the sense of growth that comes from building systems, this may not hold your attention for long. If you already use games as a bedtime wind-down, a backdrop for voice chat, or a way to switch scenes and sit with ambient audio, its value in your library is likely higher than its feature list suggests. The practical takeaway is simple: Epic is giving it away until 1 a.m. Beijing time on June 15, and it is an easy pickup for anyone interested in atmospheric games, walking sims, and light social play.
