Ever, Jane Overview
Compete against other players through gossip in Ever, Jane, utilizing rumors and slander as weaponry instead of swords and magic. Gossip comes at a cost: those who are caught lying about someone to harm their reputation can be shafted entirely from society, never to be invited to a party again. The game revolves around the polite and biting world of Regency-era England, through the witty and critical eye of writer Jane Austen. It focuses on role-playing and social interaction with other players, which are reinforced by the game's Personality Traits that define your character with a variety of dynamic traits. Attend balls and dinner parties and see your reputation skyrocket, at the cost of being more susceptible to enemy gossip.
Ever, Jane Key Features:
- Character Customization – pick from a variety of character traits that define the way that your character interacts with the world, including: Status, Happiness, Kindness, Duty, Reputation, Gentility, Wealth, Beauty, Grace, and Wit.
- Attend a Ball or Dinner Party – acquire gowns, formal attire, and carriages in preparation for massive parties thrown by other players, where your personality traits can skyrocket in level.
- Family System – the game's version of guilds: a collection of players who play as a group to increase their family's status, pulling together through crises to avoid a family-wide reputation drop.
- Gossip and Intrigue – enter Regency-era England through the lens of Jane Austen, fighting enemy gossip as opposed to enemy monsters, using your actions to propel you to high society.
