3	''[=NaN=]'' is a short PuzzleGame by Creator/ThePaperPilot released in 2016 for the 3rd Annual Chillenium at Texas A&M University. It's a story about [=NaN=], a hero who used to slay dragons, but as their population dwindled, he had to start helping people with non-life threatening issues. Unfortunately, those people get fussy and ungrateful, which really makes his continued work less worth it...
