For every purchase of the "Headstone Name & Message" a la carte item, Soulbound Studios will donate $25 (50%) to the International Association for Suicide Prevention.
When we first created the Headstone Name & Message reward as part of our Kickstarter, we anticipated players creating fun and entertaining headstones like you'd see at Disneyland; with content like: "Here lies good old Fred; a great big rock fell on his head," and while that's certainly a lot of peoples' intentions, we also received wonderful emails and PMs from people explaining how they planned to use the headstone to honor and remember lost loved ones.
We were touched by the cathartic use of the backer reward and decided to show our sympathies and support by doing more with the a la carte reward. We did some research and found that, in addition to our own personal experiences with depression and suicide, according to the World Heath Organization, suicide as a global phenomenon is on the rise and is the cause of more than 800,000 deaths per year.
So when you help us by buying a Headstone item, you're also helping the W.H.O. and other organizations to spread information about depression and suicide, so people understand how it affected the lives of those we've lost, and the lives of those who are left behind.
Pledged to the Continued Development of the Soulborn Engine and the Chronicling of Elyria,
