## Why It Matters
Wish Project is a representative example of an independently produced action game distributed digitally through Steam. Its 2016 release and presence across a wide set of game databases (Rawg, MobyGames, HowLongToBeat, GameSpot, Indie DB, Mod DB, SteamGridDB, PCGamingWiki, Lutris, TuxDB and others) make it discoverable and document its availability to players and preservation platforms. The use of Microsoft XNA links it to a specific desktop development toolchain commonly used by indie developers in the 2000s and 2010s. Being available on both Windows and Linux demonstrates cross-platform distribution for an indie title.
