A game project that adresses a very contemporary topic, with emotions and meaning, by @anima-interactive.com @kreyes121.bsky.social #Indiegame #Borders www.kickstarter.com/projects/tak...

We’ve been featured on @gaymingmag.bsky.social ! Take Us North includes LGBTQIA+ characters. Many asylum seekers flee their countries due to persecution based on sexual orientation or gender identity. gaymingmag.com/2025/06/take... Support us to help shed light on vital stories (link in bio).

By supporting us, you're helping shine a light on this.

The image on the right is an example of an embroidered quilt handcrafted by migrants and asylum seekers in a shelter we're collaborating with on this project. We have a few [LIMITED] 🧵Weaving Stories Packs left that you can claim today to receive one of these special keepsakes ✨.

We're a little over 80% funded on Kickstarter! Thanks to everyone who has pledged so far 💜. If you haven't pledged yet, read the thread below to learn more about the importance of supporting Take Us North. Back us today to bring these vital stories to life: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tak...
