The Women’s History Month bundle raises funds for the Girls Make Games Scholarship Fund and Girls Who Code.

The latest Humble Bundle has dropped, and has this time marked International Women's Day and Women's History Month with an array of games with female protagonists. The bundle is an absolute steal, and with a portion of the proceeds going to charity, it would be remiss to miss out.

March is Women's History Month in the USA, UK, and Australia - a month that pays special attention to the societal contributions that women have made throughout history. Contributions that include the development of some of our favorite video games. Which is why Humble is raising money in this bundle for Girls Make Games Scholarship Fund and Girls Who Code.

Girls Who Code has managed to help close the gender gap in tech by delivering summer programs, educational clubs and college and career programs to help women and girls get their foot in the door to the world of tech. Girls Make Games, meanwhile, is a newer nonprofit with a similar mission.

The Humble Heroines: Warriors, Dreamers, and God Slayers bundle includes the following games:

• Control Ultimate Edition - an action adventure game with a supernatural protagonist

• Syberia: The World Before - the latest in the acclaimed Syberia graphic adventure series

• Praey for the Gods - a non-linear action-survival adventure akin to Shadow of the Colossus

• Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - a visually stunning and mind-bending exploration of Norse mythology and psychosis

• Batora: Lost Haven - a post-apocalyptic sci-fi action adventure

• Sable - an open-world exploration game with a distinctive art style

• Dreamscaper - a roguelike with a waking/dreaming gameplay cycle 

• Call of the Sea - a narrative-heavy adventure game of mystery and love set in the 1930's South Pacific

Typically, buying these games would run you as much as $234. Humble Bundle is offering all eight for a grand total of $15. Not a bad price for a decidedly impressive selection of games with female protagonists. Plus, you know your money is headed to a great cause.

OGPlanet originally launched its casual racing MMO Tales Runner back in April of last year. Since then, the game has gathered a small yet loyal following. If you have never taken the time to try the game, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised. Tales Runner features tons of different tracks to race on and lots of customization options. Starting today, Tales Runner can be downloaded and played via Steam.
