With the game, Gomez gained a fex that discovers a 2D world within a 3D world. His focus is to collect cubes and cube fragments, and thus restore the universe.

“The Quick Brown Fox”,
and is part of the message, “The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog”, and which uses all of the letter of the alphabet.
