Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

While Nintendo’s back catalogue of releases for the DS tends to be heavy on games featuring puppies, kittens and puzzles, that doesn’t mean that the dinky console is fit only for family-friendly fare. Dementium: the Ward has all the hallmarks of survival horror at its best – a deeply creepy setting, horrible foes, crazed asylum inmates and lots of dark, dirty corridors to explore. Throw in some nasty shocks, taxing tasks and plenty of locked doors and you have a fine example of the genre on the small screen.
