The song is the lead track from Arcade Paradise. A Game where the protagonist Ashley feels held back, suffocated, and mentally downtrodden. Arcade Paradise is a story that resonates closely with the message of Safe In Our World. It is an inspirational message of what can be achieved, with help or just with the right motivation… how you CAN rise up against the machine, and how you CAN make your life great.
This is where you come in. We need YOU, the Wired Community to make some noise, Kick down the doors and scream that talking about Mental Health is GOOD!
How can YOU do this? There are lots of ways:
- Buy the single on Bandcamp. (Same price as a meal deal) - Stream the song for the next week. Let's see if we can hit the charts. Bring on Top of the Pops. - Share posts, blogs and playlists. The more we share. The more we can diminish the stigma around Mental Health - Talk to someone and listen. a Simple "How's it going?" can make the world of difference. - Make sure to tag us in every post, tweet and video. The more we share, the better.

Avicii | In Loving Memory
Tim Bergling, known by his stage name AVICII, was a Superstar DJ whose tragic death deeply affected millions of people throughout the world.
On the anniversary of Avicii's tragic passing, it is imperative that we continue to highlight the plight of those with lived experience of mental illness and suicide. On Tuesday 20th April, 2021, Wired Productions and developers Hello There Games will be donating 100% net receipts across all platforms to the Tim Bergling Foundation.
[previewyoutube="nGl-70pFF9w;full"]
Its work includes supporting science-based organizations engaged in preventative actions against mental illness and suicide, particularly in young people.
Additionally - from the 20th of April until May the 4th, Avicii Invector will be available for 30% off on Nintendo Switch
We'll be having a special Live Stream tomorrow at 4.30pm BST on the Avicii Invector Steam page - join us, and let's be a little less lonely together.
About The Tim Bergling Foundation :
The Tim Bergling Foundation was created by Klas and Anki Bergling and their family after the death of their son Tim Bergling, also known as AVICII. Their mission is to advocate for the recognition of suicide as a global health emergency and promote removing the stigma attached to the discussion of mental health issues.
The Foundation supports science-based organizations engaged in preventative actions against mental illness and suicide, particularly in young people. As well as seeking to support aid work in areas where Tim also had passion such as climate change, global hunger and the preservation of wildlife and endangered species
First of all - thank you to ALL of the Avicii fans that turned out for the Direct today, we hope you enjoyed it just as much as we did!
However - checking the comments during the show and the Discord afterwards there was one prevailing question a lot of you had? "Where was Invector? We were looking for Avicii news!"
So here's the deal (as we are super transparent and wouldn't want to say this and there not be anything)
There IS something coming for Invector, It's big, you're going to love it and you have every right to be excited! HECK we are so excited I can barely contain myself from telling you right now
However the things that needed to slide into place to announce it properly, just didn't quite make it in time. We gave them every fighting chance to squeeze in at the end, even holding a space on the render specifically for them to be used if we could pull them up as late as this morning! But unfortunately the door closed on them and we couldn't quite get them into the Direct in time.
We don't like letting the community down, but we equally don't like 'half assing' something - throwing it out as an afterthought image or asset would not have been suitable, Invector deserves better, you all deserve better than that.
So, take this super apology - an acknowledgement that you may be disappointed, but a promise that in the next couple of months, we're going to make you smile harder than you ever could have thought.
Hearts on our sleeve <3
