Every player who decided to purchase the game Indika, debuting in May this year, contributed to helping those in need. Part of the amount obtained from the sale of the game will be allocated by Polish 11 bit studios to support the Kiev children's hospital, which suffered as a result of Russian bombings.

It pains us that the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, an the recent abhorrent attack on the children's hospital in Kyiv by Russian military forces shook us to our core.

Mere words would be empty without a meaningful act though – we had previously stated that a portion of 11 Bit Studios revenue generated from Indika will be donated to aid children affected by the war in Ukraine, we knew the time to act was now. That is why we decided to donate 50 000 USD to Liberty Ukraine Foundation to support Ukrainian kids receiving treatment at Ohmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv.

War devastates everything in its path, and is most cruel to those that are most innocent – children. Let this message resonate with us all – players and developers together – and let's do everything we can -- we read in the statement issued by 11 bit studios.

Indika is an adventure game with arcade elements that was released on May 2 this year. The title developed in collaboration with the Russian team Add Meter, which condemns the war in Ukraine, and the publisher 11 bit studios, was warmly received by both industry reviewers and players. On Steam, the game received 2,993 reviews, 89% of which were positive.

Indika is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
