During Pride Month, it’s a great opportunity to spoil yourself with some new gaming merchandise that also supports a good cause. While there is a wide range of featured companies and games in Pride merchandise, there are always plenty of exciting options to choose from. This year, the popular game Poppy Playtime is showing their support for Pride by offering a Smiling Critters charity shirt.
Poppy Playtime: Grab a Smiling Critters Charity Shirt for Pride
The official Poppy Playtime store is currently offering a charity shirt in support of Pride Month. This shirt showcases the rainbow colors of the Smiling Critters and all profits will be donated to the Trevor Project. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to purchase this adorable and festive shirt, available throughout the month of June.
Who Are the Smiling Critters and What is the Trevor Project
The Smiling Critters first appear in Chapter 3. Originally orphans under the care of Playtime Co., they were eventually transformed into toys against their will, like many others. The Smiling Critters were specifically sold as plushies to aid parents in caring for their children, with CatNap designed to help children fall asleep. Upon arriving at Playcare, CatNap becomes a recurring enemy, using his sleeping gas to induce nightmares during your time there.
The Trevor Project is a charity that specifically addresses suicide prevention for LGBTQ+ youth. They offer 24/7 support from trained counselors and also aim to raise awareness about the difficulties faced by members of the LGBTQ+ community. Their ultimate goal is to put an end to suicide among LGBTQ+ young people, while also helping them find and create inclusive and welcoming communities. Supporting this charity during Pride Month (or any time of year) is a great way to make a positive impact.
The Trevor Project is receiving all proceeds from the sale of Poppy Playtime’s charity shirt featuring the Smiling Critters, as the game embraces Pride. Despite being a horror game, the cartoon versions of the Smiling Critters are still adorable. This celebration of Pride is not limited by the game’s genre.
