Nice, sounds like it’ll be fun.
Writing it continues to be fun, but I am dragging along slowly because so many scenes have variant paths (are you a man or a woman pretending to be man? Would your romantic interest be same-sex or opposite sex, or either? (Or would you rather not bother with the smoochy stuff?) Sorry to not have posted an update in a while

I have no idea what the fuck cribbage is and had to resort to entering random numbers just to get past the game in the beginning. Real fun stuff that.
Edit to better explain. It says we’re supposed to amass points in our hand, but doesn’t explain what is worth however many points. What are aces worth? What are face cards worth? What card combos are valid and how much is each worth? Etc. As someone whose never heard of this game in my life, the in game explanation is deeply lacking.
I remember reading this and being like do I need to call an older relative to explain cribbage to me to play this WIP.

Hi: There is a link to the rules of cribbage in the game, before you start to play. It is also available on the Stats page. I was planning to make the rules available only at the point when you need them, but that is overly retentive. I will update the stats page so the rules of each game are available from the moment you start to play
There is a note at the very start of the game about checking the Stats page for stuff like the rules for the various games that crop up within this game. There is an option to check the rules of each game before you start to play it. At the moment, only the rules for cribbage and cottabus are available, but I will be providing the rules for faro, bunko, and stook, those great 19th-century games, within a couple of days.

Can MC avoid the awkward situation where they are force to dress as a lady with the superior ranked soldier when acting in the theater? It was very awkward, last I read it was unavoidable.
This sounds like a really engaging historical adventure. I love the idea of playing a British officer in 1800s Canada with choices, romance, and heroism all mixed together. Looking forward to trying the demo and seeing how the story develops.
Hi. There is a setting early in the game if the player does not want to deal with romancey stuff; but no matter whether the MC is male or female pretending to be male, they have to take on the role of Lady Fidget in the play. In those days women almost never appeared on stage in North America, and men taking the female parts was normal and expected.
