Ahead of [i]Loddlenaut’s[/i] release on 16 November, we are very pleased to announce that for every game sale of [i]Loddlenaut[/i], the cosy creature-raising and pollution cleaning adventure, the game's publisher Secret Mode, will make a donation to Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), their official charity partner of the year. This pledge builds upon the [i]Loddlenaut[/i] team’s charity work already undertaken in 2023, including Urban Beach Cleans, Climate Giant Project donations, and World Oceans Day Steam Sale participation. Secret Mode will donate 0.05GBP per sale of [i]Loddlenaut [/i]to WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation. WDC is a UK registered charity no. 1014705. This pledge covers all net game sales over the next three years.
