Videogames Mental Health Charity, Safe In Our World is celebrating its first anniversary by releasing a 7 game bundle on Fanatical. The best part? The proceeds help in providing free Mental Health CBT courses for games industry pros and gamers throughout the globe!. Especially with this pandemic going on, researchers are finding that due to isolation, mental health could be taking an extra toll on some. It’s a crucial time for everyone to turn to each other when they feel backed up against a wall. Reach out to those around you who may be struggling too, as you have the power to help someone more than you may think.
“2020 has been such a trying year for us all, but we are so proud and thankful for the impact Safe In Our World has been able to make in our industry so far,” said Leo Zullo, Safe In Our World Chairperson. “We now look to 2021, expanding our team and opportunities, as well as further increasing awareness, access, and positivity towards mental health and mental health facilities in the games industry. Our message remains the same; it’s ok to not be ok. We have a duty of care to our gamers and our people and we implore the whole industry to unite and ensure this is considered at all times.”
The gamers included are:
AVICII Invector by Tim Bergling aka AVICII / Hello There Games
Dear Esther: Landmark Edition by The Chinese Room / Curve Digital
Fractured Minds by Emily Mitchell
GRIS by Nomada Studio / Devolver Digital
Meadow by Might and Delight
RiME by Tequila Works / Six Foot
The Town of Light by LKA / Luca Dalco
Each game touches on mental health and it’s great to see how much work games have done in the last few years to destigmatize it. I’ve played RiME personally and have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. It’s a must-play, in my opinion. All games can be redeemed on Steam and are valued at full price for $102.93. While the cost of the bundle is only $4.99, Safe In Our World allows for purchasers to increase their amount if they feel so inclined. There are only 10,000 sets of keys available and the bundle has been out for a few days now so act fast!
