Hello everyone,
Near the end of 2022, we received heartbreaking news that one of our voice actors, Jyi Sim, passed away peacefully after a long battle with lymphoma cancer.
We were lucky enough to work with Jyi as the voice for Rhythm Doctor's Nurse, who helps count and cue for the player, and as a singer in the beautiful Chinese renditions of "One Shift More" and "All The Times."
We were devastated to hear of her passing, and send our prayers and well wishes to her family. May her soul rest in peace.
In the time since mourning the loss of Jyi, we have spoken with her family about ways we can help them in this difficult time. At their recommendation, we have decided to raise money for National Cancer Society Malaysia*, an organization which Jyi herself was a donor to for years.
You can learn more about NCSM on their website: https://cancer.org.my/
From Friday, May 26th at 1:20pm PST to Sunday, May 28th at 1:20pm PST, Rhythm Doctor will be on sale for 10% off. All proceeds from the game made during this period will be made as a collective donation to NCSM**
We deeply appreciate any support you can give. If you already have a copy of the game and still wish to find a way to support the fundraiser, we invite you to purchase a gift copy on Steam for any friend you have who may love music. Alternatively, you can also visit this page to learn about ways you can support NCSM directly: https://cancer.org.my/donate/
We look forward to your support, and will update you on the amount raised after the sale's conclusion.
One of Jyi's wishes was to share her journey with cancer so that others can learn from it. She published a number of videos on Youtube documenting her life with cancer while also sharing her experience and her music.
Please check out her videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNXn7ZbVZ7M
We hope you will join us in celebrating our memory of Jyi, supporting her family through this difficult time, raising money for a great cause, and enjoying the work Jyi shared with the world.
Thank you,
The 7th Beat Games Team
*In the event that there are issues preventing a donation to NCSM, or in the event that the family of the deceased requests that we donate to another organization in the same field or needs help in the financial recovery of her passing, we will redirect the donation to the family's choosing. If this happens, we'll post an update on the donation. We want to respect the family's final decision.
**Donation total will be calculated after Valve's portion of revenue and taxes are deducted.
