A door is like a connection between two different rooms. When we talk about "worlds" instead of "rooms", the door can be a large, fancy portal. Isn't that usual? Now, there are exceptions. And we may experiment with the idea of something new. Before your imagination takes a fly to the unknown, we can give you a little bit of challenge to create a new door and find a new possible path of victory.
