《地心之旅》只要地球提供一个开口，就有新的东西可以发现。
在岩壁的那头，在风声呼啸的窄道之外，在群山的腹地，在绿林中敞开的竖井里，在冰川闪闪发光的洞穴中，无不掩藏着一种欲望，一种探索未知的欲望。
跟随绍罗的探照头灯，扑朔迷离的地下世界在我们眼前缓缓打开：巨大的空庭、极高的瀑布、发光的生物、神秘的回声、梦幻的水晶洞、地狱般的蒸汽、原始的祭祀雕塑、被遗弃的骸骨和无处不在的黑暗与未知。地下世界既恐怖又魅惑，既让我们焦虑又似乎一次次在传递着启示：世界之深和太空之浩瀚是同一的。
石子向着未知的方向一路滚去，那滚动的声音告诉我们，一场新的冒险就要开始了……

As long as the earth provides an opening, there are new things to discover.
On the other side of the cliff, beyond the narrow path where the wind whistles, in the heart of the mountains, in the open shafts of the green forests, in the glistening caves of the glaciers, there is hidden a desire, a desire to explore the unknown.
Following Sauro's searchlight, the labyrinth of the underground world slowly opens before our eyes: huge empty courtyards, sky-high waterfalls, glowing creatures, mysterious echoes, dreamy crystal caves, hellish steam, primitive sacrificial sculptures, abandoned bones, and the ubiquitous darkness and the unknown. The underworld is scary and fascinating, it makes us anxious and it seems to deliver revelation again and again: the depth of the world is the same as the vastness of space.
The stone is rolling in an unknown direction, and the sound of rolling tells us that a new adventure is about to begin...
