Hey everyone!

Tomorrow (Friday 15th July) we are taking part in the One Special Day charity drive to raise money for the gamers charity Special Effect [onespecialday.org.uk]. We will be donating the profits from every single game that we sell tomorrow to Special Effect to support the amazing work they do to make games accessible to everyone. This includes all our games on Steam and also our console and mobile games.

If you would like to support Special Effect, this is a really easy way to do so whilst bagging a new game at the same time.

We are also hosting a 6 hour One Special Day Twitch stream tomorrow, from 11am - 5pm (UK time). Hollie, Mike and Michelle will be playing through the Ripstone catalogue throughout the day, with code giveaways, competitions, developer chats and much more. We would love to see some of you in the chat on Friday to show your support for Special Effect!
