A Regency‑era interactive fiction
🛎️ 18+ (Mature themes & strong language)
⬩✧⬩✧⬩✧⬩
Step into the glittering ballrooms of high society, where wealth is envied but a title is everything.
You are the only daughter of a wealthy family about to undertake her first London Season.
Your great-grandfather made his fortune through trade; a fact the Ton has never let you forget. Two generations later, little has changed; for all your gold and gemstones, it is a title your family desires above all. And they are willing to sacrifice anything to acquire one, including you.
⬩✧⬩✧⬩✧⬩
The Season awaits;
Attend opulent balls and extravagant dinner parties, form connections with the influential, and enjoy operatic masterpieces from the theatre boxes of the elite.
Be the perfect debutante or a daring rebel.
Conform to the rules, or tear the pages from the book.
Participate in the infamous Marriage Mart.
Will you dance with a Duke, promenade with a Prince,
or do you dream of a different future altogether?
Beneath the gilding and the grandeur lie veiled barbs and cunning schemes, shrewd negotiations, and scandals waiting to happen.
Can you navigate the treacherous waters, or founder upon the rocks of your own choices?
Will you trade one gilded cage for another, or shatter the bars that confine you?
Duty. Power. Freedom.
Which path will you take when your future is at stake?
Create and customise your heiress (gender-locked female) with choices that shape both her appearance and personality:
- Name: Choose your given name and family surname; how society will know you.
- Appearance: From skin tone, height & body shape, to hair colour, texture & style. Decide how your heiress appears to the world.
- ~ Note: The story takes place in an alternate version of 1810 England, where people of all skin tones are fully accepted within high society.
- Personality: Though raised to behave a certain way, your heiress will make choices that affect her disposition, and how others perceive her. Are you naïve & dutiful, outspoken & defiant, perhaps you are sharp & cynical.
- Sexuality: Raised to be a lady and to marry for position, you have never had cause to question your heart. With your introduction to Society and the world beyond your upbringing, you may begin to wonder if this is who you truly are.
- ~ Note: The option to explore where your true attraction lies will only become available later in the story.

Her family’s hopes of a rise in station rest squarely on her shoulders.
Will she succeed where her brother, Fredrick, failed before her, or will she too be a disappointment?
Though raised to behave as a genteel young lady, life beyond Wolfram Park offers opportunities to discover her own mind.
