  Great initiative! But these are neither in steam nor gog right? Never heard of… Necrosoft.

    The games are from Itch.io. The initiative is just sponsored by Necrosoft. They’re DRM free games you download.

    It’s itch.io. Effectively the same as GOG in the sense that they are just selling you DRM free game files that you download using a web browser.

    Necrosoft is just the indie developer that organised whole thing. The (DRM-free) download of the games happens through itch.io.

    None of them are particularly interesting, sadly. It’s more like the donation itself is the main selling point.

      I saw a couple standout titles like A Short Hike (polished cozy game) and Neon Struct (thief-like). I’ll see if there’s anything else that jumps out st me.

    A few of them are, like Arranger. You get sent a link to download all of these individually. DRM free.

    Worth the $10 just to aid the cause alone.
