This pledge builds upon the [i]Loddlenaut[/i] team’s charity work already undertaken in 2023, including Urban Beach Cleans, Climate Giant Project donations, and World Oceans Day Steam Sale participation. Secret Mode will donate 0.05GBP per sale of [i]Loddlenaut [/i]to WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation. WDC is a UK registered charity no. 1014705.
