Northanger Abbey

Northanger Abbey is a romantic comedy visual novel based on Jane Austen’s nineteenth-century novel. You play as Kit, Catherine or Christopher Morland, a seventeen-year-old from the English countryside visiting the fashionable city of Bath for the first time. The story combines key scenes from the original with new scenes and interactive choices, across more than 60,000 words.

Story and themes

The game presents a light-hearted coming-of-age romance that satirises the tropes of its genre. It also explores gender, relationships and society.

Choose your route

You can pursue full routes with Henry or Eleanor Tilney, shorter routes with Isabella or John Thorpe, or discover a Secret Route. You also choose the main character’s pronouns, presentation and personality; these choices change the story.

Music and accessibility

The orchestral soundtrack features classical composers, including Bach and Vivaldi. The game includes screenreader support, descriptions of music and images, and options to customise the font and text size.
