Northanger Abbey: The Game
We have gained and lost video game tributes to 18th century rom-com generator Jane Austen. These include 2013’s endless runner Stride & Prejudice, which had you run and jump on text from Pride and Prejudice, and massively multiplayer online role-playing game Ever, Jane. Both were quietly shut down, the latter because of dwindling funds in 2020, but some smaller indie games still stand strong and corseted.
Look at the stalwart Northanger Abbey: The Game, another game you can download for free on itch.io, which turns Austen’s Gothic novel spoof into a refined, queer dating sim. Playing this game will alert everyone to the fact that you dabble in the occasional teen movie, but, like, in a smart way.
