## About This Game
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a
good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”

In early autumn 1811, two eminently eligible gentlemen come to stay near
Longbourn, the home of Elizabeth Bennet and her sister Jane. Thus begins Jane
Austen’s enduring masterpiece of manners and romance. So too begins An Austen
Armoire, a cozy game that invites Austen fans of all ages to play, read, make,
and share in the world of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.

An Austen Armoire is an illuminated novel–a time-based casual game wrapping
like a cozy shawl around Volume 1 of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It
offers ongoing cosplay fun through timed item drops, while immersing the
player in the mannered world of the Regency through daily character messages
and historical fun facts.

The interactive experience is timed to Pride and Prejudice story events in
an 1811 calendar. Actual gameplay unfolds over the course of 86 real days.
Play a few minutes each day simply to unlock new messages and cosplay items–
there’s something new to discover each day!

Or take a few more minutes to immerse yourself in highly readable novelogues.
Enjoy the original Pride and Prejudice Volume 1 as blog-length episodes
formatted to suit modern reading habits on screens. Snack or binge–the choice
is yours!
