An adult visual novel called Courtship: A Dance with Love was made by Professor Historian in Ren'Py with 3DCG art. It is set in the Regency Era and puts you in the role of a young Marquess who must find a bride and produce an heir. You meet many women with their own hopes, then decide whether to pursue wealth, looks, rank, or affection. The game centers on romance and choice, with RPG-style decisions shaping the story.
The project remains in development at v0.3.1, released November 8, 2023, for Windows, Linux, and Mac. It is in English and uncensored. The update improved renders, adjusted variables to make some scenes and special renders easier to reach, and fixed two album special renders so all now work.
