Mental disorder continues to be misinterpreted in the area of health, and unfortunately, some people don't get the assistance and counseling they need to be happier and healthier human beings because of that.
Gamers for Good and Undertale creator Toby Fox are expecting to change that with a special charity event, and you can help make it prosper. Until October 16, fans can propose their own creations, including drawings, 3D images, cosplays, or even music to be involved with "Undertale Charity Fan art book project." The proceeds from the book sales will go to three graces: Anxiety Gaming, Take This, and Child's Play.
Over 600 fan submissions have already been provided about the project, and you can check one of them out in the video posted above. The final book will be funded through Kickstarter, with the related crusade begins on October 18.
