Really, truly hating it with a burning fire inside me that filled me with rage at the very notion of ever playing it. But I knew that I had started it, I had made it halfway through the game, and I would FINISH IT. And that's the story of how that twisted little second-grader turned into an extremely twisted adult that I am now.

Another thing - as a kid I literally thought this was a slender man or FNAF type game where I would need to avoid the dragon and sleuth around the castle while completing puzzles, or risk getting jump scared and the lion dying. I had no context as young kid to know that kind of this was never going to happen in an educational game like this. I have no idea how I had these preconceptions in my mind well before games with these sorts of mechanics ever existed.
