With the season of giving now officially upon us, Jingle Jam has unveiled its latest charity bundle for PC, this year featuring stellar titles like Citizen Sleeper, Shadows of Doubt and Frostpunk, which can be purchased in support of plenty of good causes.
In total, the Jingle Jam 2024 game collection includes 18 titles (all supplied as Steam codes) and there's plenty of good stuff to find. For the most part we are in the realm of indies, although Two Point Campus, enormously fun from Sega and Two Point Studios, also sneaks in.
Also up for grabs are ColePowered Games' wildly ambitious procedurally generated detective noir Shadows of Doubt (which we gave three stars in October), the gorgeous sci-fi narrative adventure Citizen Sleeper (recommended), the survival city builder Frostpunk ( also recommended) and Patrick's Parabox minimalist puzzle (four stars!).
But there's more: the roguelike card game Widlfrost is there (this one made Bertie's Games of 2023 list), as is the wonderfully engaging sci-fi construction sim Mars First Logistics, the sticker shop management game Sticky Business, Crustacean-themed Souls-like Another Crab's. Treasure and the sequel to the acclaimed 2018 tabletop RPG adventure, For the King 2.
Also included are the well-received roguelike blackjack adventure Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers, the Geiger-style horror Scorn, the tower defense action game Orcs Must Die 3, the dystopian racing game Death Sprint 66, the RPG dating sim Eternights action, rogue-like style of card battles. Hadean Tactics, the hand-drawn puzzle adventure Submachine: Legacy and Fight in Tight Spaces: a “stylish mix of deck-building, turn-based tactics, and exciting animated fight sequences set in classic action movie settings.” And if you prefer, the lists in bullet form:

The Jingle Jam 2024 collection of games is a bit obscene, then, and if you're sufficiently swayed, all of the above can be purchased for a very reasonable donation of £35. Or rather, for a minimum donation of £35, and You'll be more than grateful if you can, as organizers hope to raise as much money as possible for this year's eight selected charities.
More specifically, money raised through the Jingle Jam 2024 charity package will go to Autistica, Campaign Against Living Miserably, Cool Earth, Sarcoma UK, The Trevor Project, Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal, Whale and Dolphin Conservation and War Child. You can read more about each charity and purchase this year's game pack on the Jingle Jam website. At the time of writing, it has successfully raised £1,277,979.
