A prequel to "Explorers Of The Merge (currently unreleased)", FACTEOTW is both a comedy and a tragedy at the same time! Taking inspiration from the works of Shakespeare, this hack takes place entirely underwater 5000 years in the past, in the middle of a clan strife between two fish clans. Where will you take Finny, will you cause the world to end? Or will you perhaps get distracted with countless other things? (V1.5)
