An architect's dreamCatherine's enthusiasm for "The Valley of the Architects" is contagious! Puzzlers that focus on a single core mechanic, like the elevator puzzles here, and offer varied challenges throughout the game often provide a more engaging and fluid experience than those with a scattershot approach.
