Precept 32: 'Never Believe That It Is Too Late'.
Sometimes, thoughts of what could have been, or what might yet be, will enter your mind. But these thoughts are followed by a darker thought: ‘It is too late.’
The latter is not your own! It is a dark thought that seeks to weaken your resolve and keep you from acting.
The past cannot be changed, but the present is yours to command.
Begin NOW, warrior, and you will not fail, no matter how late it seems.

Precept 30: 'Develop Your Sense of Direction'.
It's easy to get lost when travelling through winding, twisting caverns. Having a good sense of direction is like having a magical map inside of your head. Very useful.

Precept 27: 'Don't Trust Your Reflection'.
When peering at certain shining surfaces, you may see a copy of your own face. The face will mimic your movements and seems similar to your own, but I don't think it can be trusted.

I wish I could say this was the worst minigame I have ever played, but I know AWA will find a way to make a worse one next week, as it's been the case this whole week, each game being worse than the previous one.
Could barely see the letters, shooting didn't work until I left clicked the page again, 5 ARP.
Classic AWA. Feedback doesn't matter, we're just gonna keep making bad stuff.
