However, players have met with an issue of the title constantly crashes once you enter a certain area and it turns out to be caused by a missing file called "Steam.xnb". Turns out, removal of any game files including the word "Steam" was what caused this crash.
Funnily enough, people initially head to Steam forums looking for answers on how to solve the problem with game crashes, which clearly is a reminder of Epic Games Store immediately needing a community forum for its members.

The error is eventually fixed and developer Tom Happ took Twitter to inform everyone to fix the problem with an update.

Axiom Verge promises an experience of solid retro side-scrolling adventure and it offers a lot of blasting aliens as part of the gameplay, which is actually a fun thing to do. Since the game is good and free for the moment, why not give it a try for once?
For their next giveaway, Epic Games have listed point-and-click adventure game Thimbleweed Park out from developer/publisher Terrible Toybox and it will become available for all from February 21 and will remain there until March 7, 2019.

For anyone missing Steam.xnb from the Epic store, please go to AV in your library, click the gear icon, Verify, then Update.— Tom Happ (@AxiomVerge) February 7, 2019
I was thinking it being Epic and all, I shouldn't include valve's dlls and such, so I excluded all files with "Steam" in the name... oops.
