I, Hope Is A Game About Battling Childhood Cancer With Sales Proceeds Going To Charity

I, Hope, a game about battling childhood cancer, has been released for Steam with its proceeds going toward GameChanger Charity.

The game stars a young girl named Hope whose land has been besieged by a monster named Cancer that falls from the sky and lands on her island. The gameplay hews closely to other adventure games and involves Hope journeying to new areas to gain new skills to help her eventually defeat Cancer.

The game was funded originally on Indiegogo and then picked up by ID@Xbox for development support. The game's developer, Kenny Roy, partnered with GameChanger Charity for donating proceeds from the game. GameChanger's mission statement is to "leverage technology & innovation to ease the pain and suffering of children facing life-threatening illnesses" through partnerships with Child's Play, scholarships for cancer survivors, gifts to cancer patients, and more.

I, Hope won the ID@Xbox award in the Gaming for Everyone category at GDC last year. You can catch a trailer of the game below.
