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. The first recipients of funds will be Ahmed and n38u14.
We are in this together.

From the moment I stepped into the world of Bean Sidhe, I was completely drawn in by it's haunting yet inviting atmosphere. The world feels otherworldly but familiar with it's gorgeous visuals, an immersive soundtrack, and a story that quietly unfolds in a deeply personal way.
What really stuck with me was how effortlessly the game blends exploration and storytelling. Every moment felt intentional, and the voice acting brought so much emotion to the experience. I found myself lingering in certain places, just taking it all in.
By the time I reached the end, I was completely moved. I won’t lie—I found myself tearing up at least four or five times during my first playthrough. This isn’t just a game—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you finish.
If you love atmospheric, story-driven games that make you feel something, I can’t recommend this one enough!
Beautiful experience. Good luck with your mission, happy to contribute.
