noooo. it's literally my 999999th island and all my pets are stuck on lvl 12/13ish and it is SOOO frustrating and their energy is all at 0 and energy drinks don't work. I'm also burning through my stack of portal energy cells. i also hate when the green portals JUST DECIDE NOT TO APPEAR right when im about to get to lvl 8 and i have to restart all over again. HOW DID I DO THIS LAST YEAR
Once, a long time ago, it was easy to find yourself——elsewhere. The world was——oh, what's the word? You say uncanny in English, I suppose. From the Scots, sixteenth century: unknowable. The world was uncanny. It was full of strange things. Strange people. Strange worlds. Ways behind the mist. People believed the world was uncanny, and their very conviction kept the ways open.
There are fewer ways now, but some remain. The places where the world turns frightening, strange, sideways. And that is where you will find me. Tricking people through the mist. That is my job, if you like. To keep the way between worlds open.
