Matches and Matrimony - Jane Austen In Video Game Format

The Jane Austen News knows well that Jane Austen's novels have been the subject of countless adaptations and been portrayed through art, film, poetry - practically very medium you can think of. However we didn't know that they had been turned into a computer game! Matches and Matrimony has six suitors to pursue and three different novels all bound into the one game. On its website it says that you can:

Become the heroine of Jane Austen's most popular novels! Create your own storyline from the intersecting stories of 3 of Miss Austen's books as you pick your daily routine and choose your own path to happiness and fortune. With 9 different endings to be discovered, Matches & Matrimony can be played again and again as you create your own classic tale of romance.

The Jane Austen News is intrigued to see how it translates, so as there's the option of downloading a free 1-hour trial edition of the game, we know what we'll be doing this evening! For other curious fans, the game is available to download here.
