A series of doors and chests and the journey to get to them and get through them. Doors and chests that cannot merely be opened but must be unlocked. And what&#8217;s powerful is the story surrounding how we unlock those chests and doors.<\/p>\n<p>Fuck yeah.<\/p>\n<p>That is all. You may now go about your day.
