Help us by helping others
Our stories describe places nobody would want to live. A corrupt world rife with genocide. A desolate planet under alien invasion. Just because these worlds are cruel and dark, doesn’t mean ours has to be. This is why Cold Open Stories defers all financial support to social causes and charities worldwide.
No Ko-Fi. No Patreon. No paywall or subscription fees.
Cold Open Stories produces high-calibre immersive experiences to help raise money for important social causes worldwide. If you are in a position to give, please do. When you do, email coldopenstories@gmail.com or tag us @coldopenstories and show us how you’re supporting a local charity. This can be a photo of you working on the frontlines, or proof of your financial donation to support services in your community.
As always, share us in your network and consider giving back.
