Chapter 4

This is an author's preface explaining the structure of the fourth floor of the dungeon as a deliberately-confusing puzzle that the characters must navigate. The author reassures readers that they do not need to memorize specific platform names, numbers, and colors to enjoy the story, though a map will be provided later for clarity during the endgame.

Matt Dinniman addresses readers directly to prepare them for the fourth floor's complexity. He explains that Carl, Donut, and their team will face a challenging puzzle-like layout requiring significant effort to understand. He explicitly states that readers need not retain details about platform nomenclature and colors as they appear, as these specifics only become critical at the story's conclusion. He promises a map will be included near the end of the book to help readers comprehend the endgame. He concludes with a playful note that "zomp" is indeed a valid color in this world.
