About This Game
This is the expanded and translated version of Fru Sems valg, the Norwegian visual novel which won three game awards at Spillprisen 2022!
You are Mrs. Sem, recently widowed and back on the social scene of Christiania (today Oslo), a small town like any other on the outskirts of Europe in the 1820s. Making your way back into society you can explore exciting locations and meet the people in town!
Go to balls, concerts and socialize. You gain social standing through your interactions with the romantic interests and the people you meet in town. Go on dates and promenades, and maybe you'll even find a proposal or two in your mail. Remember to hold your friends close but your enemies closer...
Having inherited a drapery business from your late husband, you must maneuver prejudice as well as the challenging economic times. This is where you earn money by providing expert advice to your costumers on textiles, fashion and sewing techniques. Will you import goods legally or do you choose to smuggle? And are you woman enough to face the consequences of your choices?
Experience Christiania both at day and night. There is a variety of events and activities during the different times of day, but beware of travelling home alone in the dark.
