Tunic and 400 other games can be yours for just $10 thanks to a charity Itch.io bundle
Developer Necrosoft Games has assembled another huge bundle of games on to support a good cause. It includes more than 400 games that can be yours if you pony up at least $10 to support wildfire relief efforts in Southern California. Tunic, one of our favorite games of 2022, is arguably the highest-profile game in the California Fire Relief Bundle. Buying this beautiful, Zelda-esque adventure on Steam right now would cost you $30. That alone makes the bundle great value, though it includes over $3,200 worth of games. There are a few other particularly notable games on the list. You may have heard of restaurant sim Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!, the fairly self-explanatory SkateBird or the utterly ridiculous Octodad: Dadliest Catch. There's also Hidden Folks, a charming puzzle title that we reckon is a great way to help you destress. Hundreds of other lesser-known games await your curiosity too. For instance, there's a pretty puzzle-platformer called Hoa that I've been meaning to get around to. Along with video games, there are physical table-top roleplaying games (including a Bugsnax card game you can print and play), asset packs, books, comics and other projects in the bundle. You'll find a few Playdate games in there as well. Note that there are no Steam keys available through this bundle, but it's not too complicated to set up an launcher on Steam Deck. Organizers are aiming to raise $100,000 for CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort). The Los Angeles-based organization "offers direct monetary support to survivors of the fires and supports projects for fire resilience in affected areas (and potential disaster zones)," the bundle's page states. Save for processing fees, all proceeds will go to CORE. The campaign, which will run until just before midnight ET on March 13, is already over three-quarters of the way to its goal. The wildfires that struck Southern California in early January damaged or destroyed more than 18,000 structures and led to the evacuation of more than 200,000 people. As of February 12, 29 people are known to have died in the fires.

We can't have Bloodborne on PC but we can have Mudborne, a thematically similar game about breeding frogs
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Awoken from a long hibernation, you find the pond abandoned and ruined. Through genetic manipulation of local frogs and plants you must restore your world, solving puzzles across frog generations in order to meet odd little goals—a bit of mad science experimentation along the way is encouraged. It's not Bloodborne, it's Mudborne, which is set to release in March. "Through a combination of crafting minigames, menu management and puzzle solving, experiment with genetics to breed new frogs and recover what was lost," says developer TNgineers. The truly intriguing hook of Mudborne is how it's an adventure split between two worlds. Discovering new frogs and crossing them with old ones lets you use their genetic keys to unlock paths in the world—some of which lead between alternate waking and dreaming realities. It's a thematic concept that Mudborne shares with its name-alike, Bloodborne, except I don't really expect Mudborne to devolve into cosmic horror. Mudborne has a free demo available on Steam and that you can play through to discover eight species of frog and start to unlock the gates between the worlds. You can catch and eat bugs. Some of the frogs have little hats. I'm not sure how to sell this idea to you any harder. You might remember developer TNgineers from its previous game, Apico, which was a nice chill and cozy adventure about saving breeds of honeybees from extinction and propagating them so they have a nice life. Like Mudborne, it had you understanding not just bees, but how they depend on the environment around them to survive. Mudborne, however, is far more spiritual and silly. Mudborne continues the tradition that TNgineers started with Apico, and a portion of all money made from it will be donated "towards national and international amphibian, wetlands, and environmental charities to help keep our little green friends and their homes happy and healthy," it says. You can find Mudborne on Steam, where it will release on March 20. You can also find a demo on TNgineers is also working on Snacktorio, which is "a factory-cooking simulator where you must satisfy the appetites of unspeakable horrors... with food!" Honestly just sounds like parenting but I'll take a look.
