HELP: THE GAME is the result of a collaboration between a number of companies and game developers to help raise money for children who happen to be locked in conflict. War Child has already helped to rebuild lives in Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Central African Republic. It's a neat bundle on Steam that sees some unique titles crammed into a charity-funding package for $14.99.
Each developer spent a number of days to develop the included titles. Here's the list of games included in this bundle:
- Anthelion: Super simple mechanic, but highly challenging game play with endless levels that will keep you entertained for hours!
