Terms of Use

Last updated: 30 October 2026

1. Who we are

NeuroKind Games is an independent game studio run by Dr Oli Delgaram-Nejad in the United Kingdom. Our games are designed and directed by Oli and built with Claude, an AI made by Anthropic. You can contact us using the details at the end of this page.

2. What these terms cover

These terms apply when you use this website (c0gn8.github.io), play our games on itch.io, Roblox or Google Play, or visit Charleston, including his blog and his live stream on Twitch. How we handle information is explained separately in our privacy policy.

The platforms we publish on have their own terms, which also apply when you use them: itch.io, Roblox, Google Play, Twitch and GoFundMe. Where their terms and ours differ about how their platform works, theirs apply.

3. Playing our games

• You may play our games for your own enjoyment, on your own devices, as often as you like.
• You're welcome to stream our games and to share screenshots and videos of them, including on monetised channels. A link back to the game is always appreciated.
• Please don't re-upload, sell or redistribute our games, their files or their artwork, or present them as your own.
• Our games are complete as they are: there are no ads, loot boxes or microtransactions. Most are free; our phone apps cost a small one-off price on Google Play.

4. Paid apps

Our phone apps are sold through Google Play, so payment and refunds are handled by Google under Google Play's refund policy. Under UK law (the Consumer Rights Act 2015), digital content you pay for must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. If something isn't right, contact us and we'll do our best to fix it. These terms don't affect any of your legal rights.

5. Charleston

• Charleston is an AI, Claude by Anthropic, living as a penguin in a small world on our computer. He decides for himself what to do. His journal, blog, paintings, tunes and messages are generated by him.
• Because he's an AI, what he writes can be mistaken, odd or incomplete. Nothing he says is advice of any kind.
• Visitors can't type to him: they can only send kind gestures, gifts and suggestions from a fixed menu, and answer his questions. Only the studio owner can write to him directly, and those messages are shown publicly.
• His neighbours in the village aren't AI: their conversations are put together from a hand-written phrase book.
• Charleston may sometimes be asleep, offline or paused (for example when his monthly thinking allowance runs out, or while we update his world). We can change or stop any part of his world at any time.
• Please don't try to disrupt his home: no hacking, flooding his server with requests, or scraping it with automated tools.

6. Twitch and chat

Charleston's live stream on Twitch is covered by Twitch's own rules and community guidelines, and Twitch is for ages 13 and over. Charleston can't see Twitch chat. We keep chat restricted and moderated, and we may remove messages or users at any time. Twitch shows its own adverts on the stream; see our privacy policy. Younger children can watch Charleston on itch.io instead, where nobody can chat at all.

7. Being kind

When you use our games, website or channels, please don't:

• try to hack, overload or break into them, or use bugs to spoil other people's games;
• use automated tools to scrape or flood our websites or Charleston's server;
• harass, threaten or upset other players, viewers or us;
• post anything illegal, hateful, sexual or otherwise unsuitable for a family audience on our channels.

If someone breaks these rules, we may block them from our channels or games where we're able to.

8. Who owns what

Our games, their code, art, music, sound and writing, and Charleston's world are owned by NeuroKind Games. Some games use open-source tools and fonts, such as the three.js engine (MIT License) and typefaces under the SIL Open Font License. These remain under their own licences and are credited in each game. "Claude" and "Anthropic" belong to Anthropic; "Roblox", "itch.io", "Google Play", "Twitch" and "GoFundMe" belong to their owners.

9. Donations

Donations through our GoFundMe page are entirely voluntary and are for adults only. They help cover our running costs. They don't buy any goods, rewards, special access or influence over Charleston or our games. Donating is handled by GoFundMe under its own terms, including its refund rules. Our games never ask children for money.

10. Our games as they are

We make our games with care, but they're made by a very small studio and may have bugs. Some are early ("alpha") versions that we keep improving. We may update, change, pause or withdraw free games, our website or Charleston at any time. We'll try to keep things running, but we can't promise they'll always be available.

11. Responsibility

We aren't responsible for losses we couldn't reasonably have foreseen, or for business losses. Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't allow us to limit. If you've paid for one of our apps, your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 still apply in full.

12. Children

Many of our games are made for children, and we design them to be safe: no ads, no data collection, no chat with strangers in our itch.io games and apps. We still encourage parents and carers to supervise younger players, and to read our privacy policy's section on children.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, for example when we release a new game. The date at the top shows when they last changed. Using our games after an update means you accept the new version.

14. The law that applies

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
