Yann’s letter reads:
“Kliff! I found a way for us to make a fortune. Word is that those bandits are moving some valuables using a wagon. I’m going to steal the damn thing myself, and all you need to do is wait for me at the Anvil riverbank! We’re all going to be eating like kings thanks to this. I’ll even tell the others you helped out, so get a move on!”

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
