 +^ //[[a_valley_without_wind_series#A Valley Without Wind]]// | also on: Mac, Windows |
 +| Really interesting adventure game with all sorts of mechanisms in it. That kinda game where it feels to big to know, where you're always finding something new. All of [[Arcen]]'s game have this kind of richness, in my experience. ||
