About

Northanger Abbey: The Game! Experience Jane Austen's classic satirical romance in a whole new way. Dance, love, and discover the secrets of the Abbey. Choose one of three genders and five love/friendship interests, and see what lies beyond the pages of the novel.

Still very much in production, but I'd love to hear people's feedback on what I have thus far!

The main character is Christopher/Kit/Catherine, a 17 year old romantic hoping to find love on their first trip to Bath. They can be male/female/non binary and present as male/female/genderqueer. 

There are five possible love interests:

  • Henry Tilney: A snarky priest with an eye for muslin.
  • Eleanor Tilney: An artist with a quiet, dry wit.
  • Evelyn Stratford: An androgynous figure of mysterious intent.
  • Isabella Thorpe: Your new best friend, whether you like it or not.
  • John Thorpe: ... he really likes horses. 

All paths can be platonic or romantic. The game is intended to have screen reader support, but this has not been thoroughly tested.

Below is the link to the demo, if you're feeling brave check out the latest build.

Note: Although overall fluffy and light, this game is set in the 19th century, and I haven't entirely softened the sharp edges of history. Also, the main character was a cis woman in the original text, and traces of this remain regardless of how the character identifies in the game.
