### 4/5 — Good game

*2023-08-05*

You should add family trees, because people want to keep a track of who's in their family and who’s not, and if you make a family tree people to also control the woman, not only men, but it is nice, to be playing as the men and love how it is about status and working hard to get it.

### 5/5 — LOVE it!

*2023-06-09*

In LOVE with this game!! There’s a few glitches but no biggie. I only wish it had difficulty levels as it’s a bit easy at present.

### 3/5 — Needs more elements

*2023-05-29*

One of the significant flaws of this game is the lack of essential elements such as titles or any other aspects that would make it more interesting and more relatable to that period

### 1/5 — Clothes?

*2023-01-10, version 2.1*

The clothes prices are obviously bugged and according to Reddit, have been for years. It makes it impossible to progress.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2022-11-13, version 2.1*

Pretty good little game but currently fairly basic and too easy. Love the idea- just needs more things to do/difficultly

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2022-10-26, version 2.1*

Loved this idea, I do think a few things could be changed if there were ever to be updates. 
The cost of clothing becomes way too expensive and stays expensive. Would be nice to choose which tier of clothing to be able to buy from. Then in consequence depending on your choices of clothing and other factors receive social standing points or what not. 
That being said the invitations would be fun if you were given a few choices of different tiers, that way you could pass some and others work towards. 
The individuals, it would be nice to see their charm, beauty and social skills such as this. That way, those skills and the style of clothes would be how you pass the gatherings from the invitations. 
The jobs I understand could move you to different tiers, but once you graduate university how could a 14 year old be an archbishop? Also would be fun if you had to choose specific paths to get to certain jobs. And all the paths had different levels and gave you different benefits for raising your social status. 
Someone mentioned this in their review, but once the new generation takes over it changes their scores (intelligence, beauty, age) would be nice if it stayed the same. Also I have some characters disappear like my daughter and wife. 
Some interesting events could happen and give the game a little change depending on your choice. 
Maybe no one else cares for this idea, but maybe people could get sick and you have to take them to the doctor, or they pass away? Too dark? Then scrap it. 
I know it’s not historically accurate buuuuut I would like it if the daughters could inherit the family. Or maybe you can choose the heir? 
The matches, what does the blue bar mean at the bottom? 
Also I am given some matches but I am not able to marry my children off to them. Why? 
Would be nice to see the stats of the matches for my children.

### 4/5 — Bunny

*2022-10-19, version 2.1*

Actually so fun + weirdly addicting. It’s such a cute game idea, butttt

- daughters are practically useless, I wish u could earn money from who they marry or something OTHER than the original dowry payment

- I wish relationships existed, ones that could increase and decrease

- I wish that property value increased

- i wish you could choose to move on and which heir to move on with

- I wish you could make notable friends that also helped u increase ur status!!

### 3/5 — Please update

*2021-04-30, version 2.1*

The game is enjoyable, but is easy and gets repetitive VERY quickly.

### 3/5 — Boring now

*2020-07-31, version 2.1*

It’s get repetitive quick add some more content and better art

### 4/5 — Fun but short

*2020-06-30, version 2.1*

It’s a fun game for any Jane Austen fan but I played through it and bought the estate in about 2 to 3 hours.
