IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS.
You are standing in a room filled with books, faced with a difficult
decision. Suddenly, one with a distinctive cover catches your eye. It is
a groundbreaking anthology of short stories from award-winning writers
and game-industry titans who have embarked on a quest to explore what
