Two PM Studios, with Nkidu Games Inc., is proud to announce a partnership between the studio’s first upcoming major title, The Thin Silence, and non-profit organization, CheckPoint. The partnership, which includes donating 10 cents to charity for each copy of the game sold, aims to aid CheckPoint in their mission to provide support and help raise awareness on mental health issues. CheckPoint Organisation Ltd is a not-for-profit organization which connects mental health resources with video games and technology.
“When we started making The Thin Silence, we didn’t know we were making a game about mental health. I wasn’t really comfortable with that being a leading theme of the game for a lot of development. There’s a lot of shame and fear about opening up about these things, video games are “fun” after all. Seeing Checkpoint’s work is part of what made me feel like we could and should make a statement and share our perspectives.” – Ben Follington, Technical Director
