Necrosoft Games has launched an indie game charity bundle on itch.io to help support the people of Ukraine through humanitarian organisations working in the region. 991 games are included in the bundle, with indie smash hits like A Short Hike, Celeste, Baba Is You, Minit, Wandersong, and more headlining the pack.

Hundreds of indie developers have contributed to the bundle, with the entire lot of games available for just US $10 (AU $14). All proceeds will be donated directly to the International Medical Corps and Voices of Children, which are both currently working to provide medical and psychological assistance in Ukraine.

Necrosoft has encouraged purchasers to spend above the minimum amount, with every dollar going towards Ukrainian relief efforts.

While the value of the bundle is absolutely not in doubt, it’s important to remember that it’s been established for charity – and that while receiving a reward in the form of a downloadable game is good, what’s more important is that buying this bundle will directly contribute to aid in Ukraine.
