Alchemist has announced a special sales promotion for two upcoming adventure titles: Wind -a breath of heart for PlayStation 2 and Shokora - maid cafe curio for Dreamcast. Players who buy either of the two games at Animate, Gamers, Sega Direct, Softmap or Messe Sanou will be able to get an item with a special motif printed on it for free. Following today's agreement, the five companies can print the illustrations provided by Alchemist on various items. Which kind of presents specifically will be available has yet to be decided, however it will most likely be telephone cards, tradings cards, posters and post cards.

Wind -a breath of heart for PlayStation 2 will be released in Japan sometime in December for 6,800 yen ($61.70 US). Carrying the same price tag, the Dreamcast version of Shokora - maid cafe curio will be available on December 18th.
