We are deeply saddened by the events taking place overseas, and we stand in solidarity with Americans, Allies, and our colleagues in the games industry who condemn the Russian government's decision to put innocent Ukrainian lives at risk.

In the face of this senseless act of violence, the worst thing we can do is nothing. We are a company supported by individuals with families, loved ones, dreams, fears, aspirations, and lives to live, just like the citizens of Ukraine. The state lines, borders, and continents that physically divide us will never take away from the fact that we are all human and essentially need and desire the same things from life. We aren't that different from each other.

Schell Games donated to United Help Ukraine and the International Committee of the Red Cross / Ukrainian Red Cross Society to support Ukrainian citizens, and we hope for their safety. We commend our colleagues in the games industry who have vocally opposed this devastating occurrence, and we take heart in the way the industry is coming together en masse to make a decided difference.

As we continue to hope for an end to this unjustified assault on ordinary Ukrainian citizens — people like you and me — we ask that you also keep the country and the people who call it home in your hearts.

If you would like to help the people of Ukraine, please consider donating to United Help Ukraine and the International Committee of the Red Cross / Ukrainian Red Cross Society, an organization of your choosing, or supporting developers in Ukraine by playing their games. #StandWithUkraine
