Play Sense and Sensibility — an interactive story where YOU are the hero

after the classic by Jane Austen, 1811

Two sisters, two ways to love — head or heart. Guard the family as sensible Elinor, or throw yourself at feeling as Marianne, and steer both past the men who would use them and the ones who quietly deserve them.

A moment from one playthrough

Willoughby cuts you dead across the crowded London ballroom — a stranger's bow, a stranger's eyes — and Marianne is about to cross the floor to him in front of everyone. Her hand is already rising. Catch her arm and spare her the scene, or let her have her answer, whatever it costs?

Live Sense and Sensibility, don't just read it

In this interactive telling of Sense and Sensibility, you don't read about the hero — you are the hero. The Storyteller keeps Jane Austen's world true to the original — its characters, its places, its mood, all held as canon — then narrates every scene aloud and draws the moment you're in as an ink illustration. You type or speak what you do next, and the world answers: it remembers the promises you made, the things you took, and the people you crossed. Follow Jane Austen's plot faithfully, or step off it and watch a brand-new version of Sense and Sensibility unfold — one that still reaches a real ending.

How it works

The Storyteller holds the world of the book as canon — its characters, places and mood — and opens with you as the hero.
Type or speak anything: the world reacts, remembers, and stays true to the original's spirit.
Every playthrough is a brand-new story. Follow the plot — or break it and see what happens.
