A Game About Dinner Parties, Dancing And Wooing Gentlemen. Yes.

Ever, Jane is the name of an MMO that’s, well, it’s different from any MMO you’ve ever played before. Or game, for that matter.

It’s set not on an alien world, or post-apocalyptic wasteland, or fantasy kingdom of elves and orcs. It’s set in the world of…Jane Austen novels. And rather than being some kind of quick novelty game is actually the real deal.

Lead designer Judy Tyrer tells Indie Statik that “It’s not about kill or be killed, but invite or be invited. Instead of raids, we will have grand balls. Instead of dungeons, we will have dinner parties.”

Oh God yes

Your focus in the game isn’t on combat or exploration, it’s about looking good, and being proper. Your stats aren’t based on STRENGTH, POWER or MAGIC. They’re stuff like kindness, duty and social standing. There’s gossip. Dinner parties. And curtsies.

Ever, Jane is looking for $100,000 in funding from Kickstarter. If you want to try it out, a very rough prototype showing off the game’s vision is available here
