Today, publisher Nakana.io has revealed that almost 1,000 players have generously spent their money on the DLC, releasing a full game and DLC bundle as a result.<\/p>\n<p>The bundle is available to pick up on the Switch eShop starting from today, so if you want to enjoy the game and give to a good cause at the same time, this is the easiest way to go about doing it. CEO of Nakana.io, Mika\u00ebl Bourget, has said that the donations are &#8220;a fantastic display of generosity from the players and it shows how powerful games can be to convey messages and motivate changes&#8221;.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content]<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>Awesome stuff!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month saw the launch of Lydia on Nintendo Switch, a narrative game that&#8217;s based on the real experiences and &#8220;tragic childhood memories&#8221; of its developers.
