You are an unnamed orphan offering your services as a paid companion.  You advertise your services in the newspaper, and you receive several replies.  Who shall you choose to work for?  How long can you last?  Will you end up married to one of Jane Austen's eligible bachelors, or will you find yourself dismissed?

Four branches are now available, with nine different endings.  These endings are now considered achievements, and you can view which endings you have found in the 'Achievements' bar at the left.  There is also a button in the sidebar to take you back to the advertisements.   Five more branches are in progress, and not available to play yet.

After receiving the Georgiana achievement, I couldn't help but think of that meme,

"--and they were roommates!"
"Oh my god, they were roommates.."

Whereas in this context I replaced the roommates with ''companions'' aha, get it? Because the two are obvious /though it may not actually be canon, though if it is I genuinely apologize for being this dense/ pinning on each other..

I might not be making any sense there, though I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this! I enjoyed the realistic perspective of standing up for a friend or not saying anything due to shame and whatnot. I also enjoyed all the routes and am totally going back to reread these! Much love, friend!

Hello, satisfied player!

I wanted to give some same-sex options in this game.  Emma Woodhouse is often considered a lesbian/bi icon, so I'm looking forward to getting on to those story lines.  I'm a bit stuck with Edward Ferrars at the moment, which has slowed everything down to a grinding halt.  It'd be nice to continue, though.

I'm glad you've enjoyed what you've played so far.  We really need more Austen-based games, and players like you are the reason why we need them.

Thanks for playing!

I loved playing through the current routes.  Getting through the caroline bingley one was harder than I'd like to admit, if only because I kept wanting to chastise her. Looking forward to the upcoming routes!

As a side note, there seems to be a spelling mistake in the achievements section. 

I'm glad you've enjoyed it so much!  Yes, I think I noticed that spelling error - was it 'endening' or something like that? - after posting.  I'll proofread everything before I post the final version, which all 9 branches and who knows how many endings/achievements.  Promise!
