Jane Austen: Rogues and Romance
The nice thing about being a Jane Austen fan, is that outside of her books there's such a host of other fandom related things to enjoy! Modern adaptations, prequels, sequels, devotionals, festivals and dolls, we've heard it all. Now there is also a Facebook game taking place in Jane Austen's world! It's aptly called Jane Austen: Rogues and Romance. The main goal of the game is to finish search-and-find levels, in which you find hidden objects in Regency settings. In between the levels Jane Austen herself and her characters tell a continuous story. There's also a social aspect to the game: players can challenge each other or send each other gifts.
But the most fun part of the game is that you have you're own manor! With the money you earn by completing levels, you can furnish the house to your own taste with all kinds of interesting period furniture and trifles. Here are some screenshots of my manor:
Hmm, as you can see some rooms of my manor are still very empty. As in real life, everything in JA:R&R is expensive, and I guess in Regency times I would be 'new money'! (Reminds me of the Downton Abbey quote: 'What do we do about furniture? Your lot buy it, my lot inherit it!' Mary to Richard Carlisle)
The games room:
The master bedroom:
The bathroom:
And ofcourse, the library (not really finished yet....):
Before you all rush to play JA:R&R, I must warn you, the game is new and still very much in development. This means there are some bugs which can be annoying and prevent you from finishing levels....
