## What is Secret Diaries?

To receive her mysterious inheritance, Jane, a maiden too bright for her time, must find a husband before the season ends. But this is no easy feat! In a new environment, she must not only earn an impeccable reputation and learn how to live in high society but she must also see through the many plots unfolding before her.

Will Jane lead a single life of her own or will she find a partner for life? If so - will he be a kind and gallant heir? A distant, yet insanely intelligent widower? Or maybe an unscrupulous officer who wants to live life to the fullest?

One thing is for certain: among the conspiracies, rumors, and slander, Jane must not only find someone who is ready to marry her, but above all else, she must fight for her own happiness. Even at the risk of her own reputation…

### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-02-28, version 1.2*

I really was enjoying this game until it turned into every level you have to watch an ad before and after. Annoying, deleted.

### 5/5 — i love this game so bad

*2026-02-07, version 1.2*

i genuinely need like five more sequels to this game so we can see how the rest of jane's life turns out with her bachelor because theyre so cute together💔

### 3/5 — Meh story

*2025-09-08, version 1.2*

I wanted to like it because I love the setting, but the writing and story are pretty bad and make no sense.

### 4/5 — PLS CHANGE THE FONT

*2024-12-03, version 1.2*

this game is so cute and it’s a good time waster but the font is driving me insane it’s giving tacky suspicious italian restaurant in the 2000s that definitely has a whole biome growing in the back of house 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️

### 1/5 — Ads….

*2024-11-22, version 1.2*

To have ads at every episode and for them to be longer than the entire ep gameplay is absolutely ridiculous. And a membership of 10£ per month? You must be taking people for fools. Such a silly game is asking for too much and you are all a bunch of greedy wolves. Wasted my time on nothing. Uninstalled immediately. If you want to takes us for granted, we’ll take your “game” for trash.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2024-06-21, version 1.2*

Could not get into it. Everything is too scattered to go after. The way food is made and collected is very weird.it is hard developing a flow and I hate the graphics.

### 5/5 — Tired however of waiting for upcoming games.  All late

*2024-06-04, version 1.2*

When are they coming out?   Passed due

### 2/5 — Great story but game is way too easy

*2024-06-02, version 1.2*

Love the storyline in the game but even on hard the game is incredibly easy for anyone who has played gamehouse games before. It could really use increased variety of items and more complex challenges to make the levels more fun

### 5/5 — Good game!

*2024-05-30, version 1.2*

Just wish it was longer. Still enjoyable

### 5/5 — LOVE

*2024-02-01, version 1.2*

Im sooo excited about an Emily-type game with historical romance story and theme!! Loving this homage to Regency romance. I hope the devs continue down this road. Id love 18th century, or a tudor game would be fun. Aside frm subject matter and theme (love the roses and aesthetics) gameplay is smooth, it’s not glitchy at all. All of the Delicious games are well made. Also love that we pay a flat fee and it’s not pay to play. I hope the developers know that some of us are grateful for this. $10 is fair. Highly recommend if you love time management and period drama movies.
