You can finally play that Minecraft-style fantasy RPG we keep going on about

Forgive us for talking about Everwind again. To paraphrase a great, blue-haired philosopher of our time, we just think it's neat. We're big Minecraft fans here at PCGamesN, and I personally played so much Skyrim when it released that my brain started leaking out of my ears and I nearly failed my exams. Luckily I scooped it back in and Fus-Roh-Dahed my results to eventually land this job, where I can tell you about this Skyrim-like RPG that uses a Minecraft aesthetic to great effect. Everything's come full circle, and I fully plan on abandoning my responsibilities once more in order to play Everwind's first demo, which is featured as a part of Steam Next Fest.
