One day, we found ourselves 
trapped in another world.
Eines Tages waren wir
in einer anderen Welt eingesperrt.
Un día, quedamos atrapados en otro mundo.
Piégés dans un monde parallèle,
Un giorno, ci siamo travati intrappolati
 in un altro mondo.
Certo dia, nos encontramos 
presos em um outro mundo.
Игроков внезапно перенесло в другой мир!
