Yes, which is sort of annoying. It seems every publisher these days has their own client. Remember when you could just download and play? Plus, you need to create an account with Epic. These was almost a dealbreaker for me, until I discovered I already had created one (god knows when; it was on one of my really old spamtrap email accounts). The game itself is... okay. It is fairly short and the pacing is off. The visuals are okay and the developers did a good job creating a 3D world while restricting you to a 2D plane, which is probably the most interesting thing about the game. Given that it is free, I defintiely got my money's worth but I think - had I paid for it - I'd have felt ripped off.
