Zombie convict secret agent gets sidetracked in a "never ravine' by secret village witch ghosts to find a wacked-out politician in a volcano.

Wow. Would you have got it without "never ravine" or "convict"? I figured it would have been impossible otherwise so I added those in.

Never Ravine actually confused me for a while I thought you were talking about a named location in a game, I even tried looking it up lol. This is also my most favorite game though and I was in the thread specifically looking for someone to mention it.

Haha, awesome. Me too, I almost just gave up trying to think of a concise, funny blurb but then I reconsidered because the game is worth it.

I just added convict+volcanoe and thought Morrowind. It's been mentioned a few times but I wanted to say:

Omg this is great. I was trying to figure out how Iโ€™d describe this game in the theme of the post, but coming up blank. You nailed it.

Hahaha, thank you so much! I spent a while trying to boil it down to its goofiest fundamentals

I love 'wacked-out politician in a volcano', such a wonderful description :D
