Jane Austen Slice of Life
I have been meaning to write a review of this hidden gem since version 1.0, but now find, with the newest update, the most opportune time to make good on that intention. :P
Regency Love is a sort of niche visual novel: set in the Regency era (think of Napoleon, King George, and Jane Austen), its a gentle and surprisingly lengthy (rewardingly so! The pacing is top notch) look at a potential six-month courtship with one of three bachelors (though Im starting to suspect theres a hidden one as well!), alongside other daily interactions: old friends, family connections, town gossips, schoolchildren, the neighborhood cat. Personality and hobby are furnished by the player via interactions in conversation (supported by the inkle story format) and by winning points in trivia and hangman challenges pertaining to period quotes and tidbits. Questions are repeated here and there, but not as frequently as in version 1.0. Personality traits can also run repetitive; there are many options for witty and amiable, but not as much as for others. Even so, I have discovered several different results, and they add embellishments to the epilogues (which can be saved to the Memoirs menu).
A tremendous amount of time has been given to this love project; play if youre curious, a fan of fine language, a romantic, and/or would like a gentle interactive story with replay ability. One or two glitches; the nickname system has never seemed to work and one of Grahams scenes is cut short. Mild concerns. Support these lovely ladies!
