***Disclaimers*** - If you have not read the Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, The Crucible, and The Great Gatsby, and you want to read them without this game spoiling the plot, characters, and ending, do not play this game. This game contains spoilers to the plot, characters, and endings to those three books. - This is a game that I made for my English Exam. We had to make a project of some kind that contained details about the three books used in this game, and I chose to make a game. Please do not leave any negative comments, since I only had a single week to make this. - Following these disclaimers are explanations of the quotes used in the game, explanations on the music choices used in the game, and a channelog to show how much work I put into this. ***Quotes (Projectiles) and Explanations*** - Abigail's first quote is "Love Me", which is a reference to the fact that she wants John to love her back. - Abigail's second quote is "I Saw", which is a reference to when she was calling out people who she saw sign the devil's book. - Abigail's third quote is "The Book", which is a reference to the devil's book that people sign if they become part of witchcraft. - Abigail's fourth quote is "Only Sport", which is a reference to when she was dancing in the woods with the girls, and when confronted, she said it was only sport. - Gatsby's first quote is "Old Sport", which is a reference to what he calls everybody. - Gatsby's second quote is "Repeat The Past", which is a reference to when he said that you can repeat the past. - Gatsby's third quote is "Going Up", which is a reference to when he said that he has to keep going up. - Gatsby's fourth quote is "I Love Her", which is a reference to when he told Tom that he loved Daisy. - Huck's first quote is "The Widow", which is what he calls the woman who acts as his guardian at the beginning of the book. - Huck's second quote is "Sivilize", which is a reference to the fact that the widow tried to civilize him, however it is spelled incorrectly in the book. - Huck's third quote is "D a r n i t" (He says a different word a lot in the book, so I put this word instead.) - Huck's fourth quote is "Heck" (which he also says a different word a lot.) ***Music and Explanations*** - Abigail's music is Spear Of Justice, which is a reference to the fact that she was in Court several times, bringing people to "justice". - Gatsby's music is Heartache, which is a reference to the fact that Daisy broke his heart at the end of the book. - Huck's music is Dogsong, which is the only music I could find that fit a somewhat country-like theme.
