From the description...
"Unbeknownst to their captivators, the mountain is riddled with ancient tunnels, dungeons and tombs built by crumbled civilizations long perished now."

Captivators?

Dost thou mean captors?

This is a terrible sentence. How about... "Unknown to their captors, the mountain is riddled with ancient tunnels, dungeons and tombs built by a long ago perished civilization."

Sorry... but my pedantic nature compelled, or compulsiphized, me to post about this.

It's not a typo. The prisoners managed to get caught because they found themselves mesmerised by the attractiveness of the authorities.

Well, I probably would, too, if I didn't have some authority issues... :)

Grimrock is the game...Grimlock is an Autobot (more precisely the Dinobot commander). Just thought I would mention that.
:P Though points for mentioning one of my favourite Transformers.

You would too if you stared longingly into those tempered pools of loveliness! Typo or not, I still am looking forward to this game. :D

I think "captives" suits the context better. ;)

That's the way we got it, it's not merely copy-pasted. :P

I used my english-as-a-second-language madskillz on the whole description and it should look better now.

"Douglas Klump: The perimeters of our assignment were described to us with specificity, Mr. Shlubb. We are to deposit our cargo into the body of water which we now overlook. It was likeways made clear to us that any embellishments of said perimeters would not be advisory.
Burt Shlubb: I cannot prescribe to such a narrow interpretation of the perimeters which you now invoke, Mr. Klump."

Man, the guy who was supposed to copy edit that description before it went on GOG.com was terrible at his job.
