Here&#8217;s what happened when we played it, from the viewpoint of my T-Rex.<\/p>\n<p>Wake up. Head blurry. One people runs away.<\/p>\n<p>I stand. Noisy metal tube people put me in is next to me. I hates it. I kick it!<\/p>\n<p>Something moved. Friend Triceratops charges small door one tiny people went into. Makes hole. I try to poke my head into room with people.<\/p>\n<p>Why they scream?<\/p>\n<p>Watch friend Triceratops charge the big doors. We go outside!<\/p>\n<p>Friend Triceratops eats tree leaves. I eat a people.<\/p>\n<p>Loud, screaming, flashy thing on pole awakes. I hates it. Friend Triceratops and I try to break noisy flashy thing. We cannot. Feeling nervous now.<\/p>\n<p>Large fast-tapping noise appears. In sky, metal creature with weird wings that go in a circle hovers. People inside bird holds up an ouchie-sleepy and makes tiny things fly out.<\/p>\n<p>BIRD! I chomps it. I eat a people. Feel better.<\/p>\n<p>Friend Triceratops moved fence. Find wide, smooth, rock. Black like night. Smells of burning. Yellow markings down middle.<\/p>\n<p>Small metal dinosaur, with spinning feet, appears. Another people, holding ouchie-sleepy, is inside. I go towards metal dinosaur and chomp it.<\/p>\n<p>Tastes awful! Smells bad! Shake head and spit it out. Friend Triceratops charges the other metal dinosaur with spinning feet. Flips it over. Bad smell gets badder. We go away.<\/p>\n<p>Friend Triceratops charges new fence. Stands for a minute and&#8230; disappears? <i>I am alone in this world!<\/i> Kick the fence that took my friend and ROAR!<\/p>\n<p>Something moves. Friend Triceratops has magically returned! Friend charges fence and breaks it.<\/p>\n<p>We find place with people caves. Air smells of people food. Loud, screaming, flashy things on polls awaken. I wants to kick them.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s that? I put face closer to small cave. Baby dinosaurs are trapped behind barrier that I can touch but not see. We must set them free! I kick barrier and break it.<\/p>\n<p><i>Cannot reach the baby dinosaurs with my little arms!<\/i> Very nervous now!<\/p>\n<p>Large fast-tapping noise appears. BIRD! I chomps it. I eat a people. Feel better now. I kick a pole that has screaming flashy on top. Sparky things come out. Air smells funny.<\/p>\n<p>Friend Triceratops charges a screaming flashy pole. Misses. Runs through cave with baby dinosaurs. Comes out with baby dinosaur on nose horn, spinning around.<\/p>\n<p>Carefully pick up another baby dinosaur with my teeth. It has no scent and don&#8217;t taste like meat.<\/p>\n<p><i>We&#8217;ve been tricked! <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Tail swipe small cave and break it more. All lights go out. Screaming flashy things are quiet.<\/p>\n<p>We walk on. Find bigger, rectangular caves. Friend Triceratops charges through metal dinosaurs with wheels. One zooms away and we follow it to water.<\/p>\n<p>Giant metal fish in water. Small dinosaurs with round feet crawl inside. I am confused.<\/p>\n<p>Large fast-tapping noise appears. BIRD! Friend Triceratops runs up my tail, over my back, and to my snout. Charges into bird! Both fall from sky and into water.<\/p>\n<p>We find forest with big trees and no peoples.
