California Fire Relief Bundle: 422 items for $10.00
This is... A whole lot of games.
I did love tunic, fantastic game, easily worth that price on its own.
I've never played cook serve delicious, but it's been on my radar. I'll have to give this a shot. Heh, there are some tabletop games and rulesets on this list, could be some hidden gems in there. Honestly, this is a big enough bundle to be worth just buying on principle, and sorting it out later. So what if I don't end up playing 400 of these titles, if I end up liking 10, that's a fabulous deal, and all for charity!
Cool Serve Delicious is tons of fun, my favorite coop cooking game for sure. My wife and I play it constantly
The point of this is obviously the charity, but I'm not gonna lie, after a quick look at the included games, if Tunic wasn't in this bundle I would feel ripped off paying $10 for it.
I don't see any of those other games combined being worth $10 to me. Multiple visual novels / story games, puzzle games, and many games that look like a generic Kemco published RPG Maker game but with a pastel color palette this time. Again, I get that the point of this is charity, but Tunic is literally the only game that I would say brings value to this bundle. If someone already owns Tunic and is considering this, I would say to just directly donate the money.
I bought it because my son has been asking for Skatebird, but we also enjoyed an hour playing Ripped Pants at Work together and I'll give Delver a go later tonight.
Thats the thing with bundles, different titles will appeal to different people.
Pfft! You sound like an Octopus pretending to be a real dad, you can't fool me!
Besides Tunic, there are still several good to great games in the first dozen (and no doubt a bunch more if you’re willing to dig into the smaller indies):
- Cook, Serve, Delicious - Overwhelmingly Positive (95% of 3,631) all time
- Hoa - Very Positive (89% of 2,098) all time
- Tangle Tower - Overwhelmingly Positive (95% of 4,760) all time
- Octodad: Dadliest Catch - Very Positive (93% of 8,480) all time
- Whispering Willows - Very Positive (81% of 1,166) all time
- Hidden Folks - Overwhelmingly Positive (97% of 7,333) all time
- Eldritch - Very Positive (88% of 1,673) all time
- They Bleed Pixels - Very Positive (84% of 2,014) all time
You don't have to support every bundle if you don't like the games. Trashing the bundles you don't like is just sorta lame. It also covertly mocks the people who are interested in buying it.
Inb4 a comment about how most of these aren't digital games so this bundle is useless.
Yeah, all bundles have been like this. A few good ones and the rest hardly even worth playing for free.
But if you want to donate directly, you can do that here: https://www.coreresponse.org/

To each their own. I have no idea what Tunic is, I got it for
- charity
- Cook Serve Delicious
- Blobun
- Octodad
The fact you say it has lots of VNs and puzzle games suggests there is more in the bundle I'll like if I just explore more as those genres are to my taste.
Octodad is unironically worth $10
If someone already owns Tunic and is considering this, I would say to just directly donate the money.
Or just like... Donate through the bundle and consider trying out some minor projects created by people who are trying to make something cool? Why turn down access to these games out of some form of perceived superiority? This notion that since you've never heard of these other titles they can't possible offer anything of value to you is kind of a spit in the face of struggling artists of all types.
I actually disliked Tunic, just saying. I got more enjoyment out of Cosmic Express and Delver (and I didn't even like the final fight in Delver). Whatever floats your boat...
Octodad is well worth $10 even with how old it is.
Do these work with steamdeck? Ive never installed outside valves store.
The quick check is to search for a game on Proton DB and see how well it runs (usually pretty well!)
Yes, you install them through desktop mode then load them into steam as a non steam game. Then they'll show up in game mode. There's also a decky plugin that easily lets you add artwork for the steam entry
The 'SteamGridDB' plugin is the one which does this!
Thanks
It looks like there are a few games I was slightly interested in trying at some point, but not enough to buy them, but having so many together as a single purchase, I couldn't resist. I even paid the default price of $20 instead of $10.
There's a lot of neat stuff in here! Thanks for the link.
