More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
