Last Days of itch.io $5 Palestinian Aid Bundle

Much like playing the protagonist in a video game, it’s natural to want to do good any way you can. What better way than to score an unreal amount of video games for a small price, whilst supporting a charitable cause? Itch.io, the gaming site that hosts a large bevy of indie games from all walks, is wrapping up their Indie bundle for Palestinian Aid and you can get hundreds upon hundreds of these games for as low as $5.

The bundle, which started last week, features some renowned titles that have garnered a significant following such as Anodyne, Nuclear Throne, and Calico. Past that, there are hundreds of games that you’re sure to have never heard of, some first efforts from aspiring developers, others hidden gems that are waiting for you to discover. It’s hard to put a concrete value on what you’re getting in this bundle, but it’s evident that paying as low as $5 is a steal. That’s why it’s a minimum, and you are free to donate as much as you care to spare.

Profits for the Indie bundle for Palestinian Aid are directed to United Nations Relief and Works Agency. Itch.io writes, “The UNRWA has provided food assistance for over one million Palestinians, and continues to do so in the territories with heavy destruction. They also provide emergency mental and physical health protection for those in the region.” The highlighted game for this bundle is Liyla and the Shadows of War, from Palestinian developer Rasheed Abueideh, detailing a devastating account of Gaza and its warring in 2014.

At the time of writing, with just over three days to acquire the games, soundtracks, comics, and more, a whopping $500,000 has been raised thanks to more than 50,000 contributors. At an average contribution of $9.23, people are choosing en masse to go above the minimum and shoot for the stars. Be sure to check out this excellent deal and good cause, all in one, before it ends in just a few days!
