Pride and Prejudice and Murder

The Day Elizabeth Bennet Became a Suspect

You arrive at Longbourn, expecting a wedding. Instead, you find a body. The bride is in shock, the groom is missing, and every guest has a motive. This is not the happy ending Jane Austen wrote. This is Pride and Prejudice and Murder—a 210,000-word interactive novel where your deductive skills determine who walks free and who hangs.

In this branching detective story, you take on the role of an investigator who must untangle a web of lies, secrets, and betrayals among the beloved characters of Austen’s world. The game uses a pure text-based interface—no graphics, no sound effects—forcing you to rely entirely on witness statements, physical evidence, and your own intuition. Every dialogue choice you make narrows the suspect pool, alters the narrative flow, and pushes you toward one of multiple endings.

Core Investigation Tools

• Dynamic suspect system: Interrogate 10+ unique narrators, each with their own hidden agenda and shifting alibis. Their stories change based on your questions.
• Evidence board: Collect and cross-reference clues in a logical grid. Link a torn glove to a muddy footprint to a suspicious kitchen knife.
• Timeline reconstruction: Replay the wedding day from multiple perspectives. Each retelling reveals new contradictions in the suspects’ statements.
• Moral choices: Decide whether to protect a friend or expose a secret. Your ethics affect which characters trust you and which doors remain locked.
• Multiple endings: Reach one of several conclusions based on whom you accuse, what evidence you present, and how you handle the final confrontation.

What Makes This Mystery Unique

Unlike typical whodunits, this game respects the source material while twisting it into a darker shape. You will encounter familiar faces—Mr. Collins fawning over the bride, Lady Catherine de Bourgh demanding answers, Wickham nervously avoiding eye contact—but they all behave differently under pressure. The murder weapon, a broken champagne flute, is found near the altar. The victim is a minor character from the novel, but their death unravels the entire Bennet family.

The game also offers a replayability feature: after finishing once, you can start a new game with a different primary suspect. This changes which characters become hostile, which clues appear first, and which red herrings lead you astray. Completing all endings unlocks a hidden epilogue that recontextualizes the entire story.
