No one has heard from Elena since. But if you ever see a free trainer for Montezuma 3, claiming to be STEAM UNLOCKED …
Elena tried to close the game. ALT+F4 did nothing. CTRL+ALT+DEL froze her cursor. The game board reshuffled itself into a mirror—and in the reflection, she saw not her gaming chair, but a stone chamber lit by torches. Treasures of montezuma 3 trainer STEAM UNLOCKED

She stared at her reflection in the dark monitor. It smiled—two seconds before she did.
