Loved it!

I loved it! I have a niche interest for Regency Era mobile games, so as soon as I saw this one, I bought it on the spot! It’s fun, challenging, and historically accurate! I’m a happy camper!

Fantastic game about a widow & her fabric shop in early 19th-century Norway!

The game—OK, I guess it’s technically a “visual novel”, but it feels like a game—plunks you down in 1820s Oslo (then apparently called Christiania), where you have to survive the financial & social travails of running your own fabric shop, amidst a backdrop of smuggling, theater, tea, romance, & the life of a port city more generally. There’s also a delightful cat. Highly recommended!!
