Into Games revives its narrative-driven gaming book club—first three titles revealed, and every penny supports young talent in the UK
Into Games is bringing back Slow Game Club for 2026—and if you’re into thoughtful storytelling, developer deep-dives, and making a real difference while you game, this one’s for you.
Kicking off in January, the new season includes 12 handpicked indie titles—one per month—alongside exclusive dev podcasts and a private Discord community built for proper, book-club-style game chat. It’s basically a curated subscription service for games with soul.
The first three confirmed titles?
- Thank Goodness You’re Here
- Sorry We’re Closed
- despelote
More will be revealed soon, but expect narrative-heavy, critically acclaimed picks from around the globe—including at least 75% fresh 2025/26 releases.
Games with Purpose—and Proceeds That Matter
What really sets this apart? Every penny goes to Into Games, a UK charity helping young people from underserved communities build careers in the games industry. So you’re not just playing—you’re helping shape the future of the medium.
Brandon Cole, Chief Development Officer at Into Games, summed it up perfectly:
“Slow Game Club isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a love letter to games that deserve more than bargain bin treatment. We want people to value games the way they value books: as art, as culture, as deeply personal storytelling.”
