A Regency strategy game in which you play a Jane Austen heroine, improving wit, vigour and honour across chapters while social rivalries decide who ends up with the romance they wanted.
Who it's for
Austen readers and players who want a themed strategy game with character development instead of conflict.
Not for you if…
The Regency setting leaves you cold, or you want direct confrontation rather than polite social rivalry.
Vibe's take
Elegant and gently competitive – the rivalry is all politeness on the surface, and the satisfaction comes from a heroine who reads like a coherent character.
