Celeste, A Short Hike, and so many more supporting charities
A phenomenal new bundle of indie games is raising money for two charities supporting relief efforts in Ukraine. The Bundle For Ukraine on Itch.io includes almost 600 games, and you can have the lot if you pay at least $10. Games include Celeste,A Short Hike,Superhot,Hidden Folks, and oh so many more worth mentioning. Barely 11 hours after launching, the bundle has already raised over $593,000 towards its $1 million goal. Probably because it’s a great deal for a good cause.
Initiated by Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, theBundle For Ukraine launched on Itch.ioovernight. All proceeds will be split between theInternational Medical Corps, helping civilians in Ukraine and neighbouring countries, andVoices Of Children, providing psychological help for children traumatised by war. Pay at least $10 and you’ll get a lot, though of course you can pay more.
The bundle’s 991 items include almost 600 video games, over 300 physical games, plus game-making assets, books, comics, soundtracks, and more. All come as DRM-free downloads. It’s… a lot. From the quickest of scrollthroughs, games which caught my eye (either because I like them or, as linked, we’ve written about ‘em before) include:
I am excited to poke around in the many, many games I don’t yet know. What else would you recommend, reader dear?
