The Thin Silence Developer Will Donate 10 Cents To Charity For Every Copy Of The Game Sold

With The Thin Silence releasing on PC at the end of the month, Two PM Studios, alongside Nkidu Games Inc., have announced their partnership with the Checkpoint group, a not-for-profit organization which connects mental health resources with video games and technology. The partnership involves donating 10 cents to charity for every purchased copy of the game, in an attempt to to aid CheckPoint in their mission to provide support and help raise awareness on mental health issues. 

Ben Follington, Technical Director for the title, had this to say: "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."

Considering how The Thin Silence deals with depression, the move is a welcome one. The Thin Silence comes out on PC, in Early Access, on April 27th.
