The story

In a one room schoolhouse on the banks of the Mississippi River, a boy is
daydreaming in class. This little adventurer is Tom Sawyer, the star of the
game. Tom's weekend exploits with his friend Huckleberry are world-famous.

Even today as he naps, he's dreaming of a super adventure down the Mississippi
river on his log raft. As he sleeps, he begins the adventure by running
through an abandoned pirate ship. After defeating the pirates and octopus
monster, Tom reaches the river. Every step of his journey is filled with
danger. Evil ultimate enemies and their helpers try to prevent Tom from
reaching his goal - saving Becky Thatcher. Can Tom defeat the greatest enemy
Injun Joe and save Becky? Their Fate is in your hands!

Before... you start your journey

from his dream in the classroom.
