Heart Shapted Games also announced that 10 percent of the proceeds from the game’s sales go to the Rhino Recovery Fund of the Wildlife Conservation Network.
‘Our goal with We are the caretakers is to raise awareness about conservation in a way that would involve people in the issue, ”said Scott Brodie, founder of Heart Shaped Games, in a press release. “It’s a science fiction story, but the issues facing the Conductor and The Caretakers are currently present in the real world, and we hope it makes you think about how we take care of the world we live in.”
Here is an overview of the game via the Steam page:
