PREVAIL is a game about trauma. How you treat others and yourself along the journey reflects the ways in which the protagonist learns to cope. In a place where you cannot know who to trust, how will you prevail?

We hear about this nebulous "screen time" and how it's ruining our kids. But is it really? Or maybe as adults we've forgotten what it means to play? Perhaps play means something different now. A great convo with @DrKowert 🎮👾💻 https://t.co/ImB0YXTFi5
We see you. We hear you. We love you. We hope you are staying safe, however you are choosing to respond.
Please do not mistake our silence for neutrality or ignorance. We have been spending this time listening, donating where we can, and taking care of those around us. 🖤💜

Video games offer great mental health benefits. Today, I worked with the amazing @TakeThisOrg non-profit to create a list of games that Build Personal Resilience. Why not join us in donating and sharing. https://t.co/NhRlZdqDEi
@TheeDoctorB Gamification in education, or at least trying to relate material to games can be a powerful tool, but it should be used with thorough knowledge on the subject, otherwise students probably won't take it seriously. In other words, play more games, academic types!
@devolverdigital Puzzle platformer with stealth elements about recognizing and overcoming emotional trauma. Also, you can make friends with a slug baby! (Eta: We're trying our best)
We know that many of you are keeping busy, but remember that now is a good time to slow down, too. Take time for yourself, spend time with friends and family however you can, and remember it's okay to have fun and play. 💜
In light of everything going on in the world, we'd like to share some games we've been playing while stuck indoors - to spread some love to developers we admire and to remind everyone that video games are a great way to help you through difficult times. 1/?

We also want to recommend @animalcrossing , Stardew Valley from @ConcernedApe and Undertale from @tobyfox - all great games for remembering kindness, gratitude and stopping to smell the roses.
So...we accidentally misjudged the date for the end of the competition - it was the 24th instead of the 28th. Oops! Regardless, thanks a ton to everyone who watched and shared, it still means the world and it's just one more way for us to spread our message 💜
