TRANSPARENCY

All work showcased in this project has been donated by those involved. Assets were purchased from the UE5 store (no AI involvement), but all voiceover, writing, level building, playtesting, and game design was done by humans invested in this project. Bean Sidhe is intended to be a story about hope and perseverance, and as such is free to play for all, and will never be gatekept by capitalism.

If you are able to donate, all money gained from this project will be going to a rotating series of local trans folks and Palestinian families in need. Where possible, money will be going directly to those that need it in order to avoid charity regulations and fees. We have raised over $500 so far to give directly to people in need.

We are in this together.
