Pride or Prejudice [DEMO]
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
The game is back off hiatus!Play this beloved tale of romance, snark, and self discovery, but with your choice of gender and appearance, and a few other fun choices along the way.
The current demo covers the plot up to Chapter 15 of the novel. Feedback is very welcome, especially about the character creator or any bugs.
Current features:
- Gender neutral character creator, with the choice of he, she, or they pronouns, and the ability to use a wheelchair
- Family members match the colouring chosen in the character creator, with a little random variation.
- Text size choice and dark mode
- Image descriptions and screenreader support
Planned features:
- The complete plot of the novel, plus a couple of extra ends
- Music
- Better art for the NPCs and backgrounds
Known issues:
- Dark mode doesn't work in the character creator
- Some of the procedurally generated eye and hair colours look bad
- the character creator sometimes glitches
Note: The current version of the game is no longer creative commons because of rights issues with some of the resources I'm using.

why does everyone give up on historical/regency era type games, its so tragic lol
also AGHHH really not looking forward to the wickham BS
I did finish Northanger Abbey!
oh i know, i just played that one right before i started this lol
Just wanted to say that this game provided me a lot of enjoyment. Thank you for making it; it was a lot of fun 💜
Ahh, thank you, that's so lovely to hear, I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
still being developped?
It is not, sorry.
This looks fun! Also, it'd be great to have Friend in the honorific slot. It'd remind me of the Public_Universal_Friend. Quakers often didn't attend dances at the time, but some did! They were called gay Quakers.
This is an interesting idea, and a cool fact! I've turned off custom honorifics for now because a beta player said they found them too confusing, but will think about the potential of 'friend'.
I am so excited for this - I loved your adaption of Northanger Abbey and this somehow looks even better.
Thank you, that's great to hear :)
I love all the technical features you have here. The randomization, the pronouns, the quick-pick sprite options, how the family’s skin tone matches, all of it.
I want to buy “The technical secrets behind Spiral Atlas’ Pride or Prejudice.” You need to finish this game so you can write it. (Or make someone else write it for you. I don’t care. I just want it.)
Ah, thank you, it feels nice to have all those little details appreciated! I do intend on writing things up as I go when I'm sure I have a technique locked down, if only for my own future reference. Currently my posts don't cover the things you've listed but I will hopefully get there eventually. I post any tutorials on https://spiral-atlas.dreamwidth.org/, and link to them on my twitter https://twitter.com/spiral_atlas
me encantó <3
Thank you :)
so excited about this! played the demo and it left me wanting sooo much more, keep up the really good work!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is looking amazing! The accessibility options, the Character Creator, The pronouns! *Chefs Kiss* Can't wait to see more of the development. Not to mention who doesn't love some good old Jane Austen. Also letting me live my dreams of romancing Captain Fitzwilliam.
Thank you so much, it's great to hear people like what I have so far!
Thanks!
