"This month, the Australian-made video game Silksong became one of the most
played titles worldwide.

Created by Team Cherry, a three-person indie studio in Adelaide, the sequel to
2017’s Hollow Knight shows how small studios can capture global attention.

Its success matters not just for its artistry but because it demonstrates why
video games are more than entertainment. They are central to how people play,
connect and participate in culture."
