Lore

Game originally created in 2018/19 using Python for U.S. History class (to be played in a console/command prompt). We were studying the impact of WWI and the Great Depression on the U.S. and other countries; and I was interested in gamifying the history we were learning into a simple interactive story.

Since this project is pretty old, I no longer have the citations/sources I used for the information in this game, so I encourage you to read more on these topics!

Thank you for playing!
