- “Found a shrine of some sorts, a building on top of a hill, a castle you can't get into, a camp in the middle of nowhere, and then I found the temple and that's where my story ends because I went down into it but I guess someone forgot the stairs because once you jump down, you're stuck and can't get back out.”
- “There's no story, no goal (except to eat and stay hydrated) and definitely not worth the money.”
