Obsession! Pride, Intrigue, and Prejudice in Victorian England.  Changes are afoot in Derbyshire, England, where four families - all possessed of eligible young gentlemen and ladies - find themselves embroiled in romance and intrigue during a time of optimism.  Fortune has recently smiled on these somewhat neglected etates, families with respectable histories that endured hard times in the late 18th century.  Now, in the mid-19th, the families Asquith, Cavendish, Ponsonby, and York have coincidentally come into new sources of income and are intent on improving their country estates and restoring their failing reputations.  The inflow of funds is modest, but there is a new optimism abroad in southern Derbyshire!

To the delight of the four families, two siblings, Charles and Elizabeth, have moved into the nearby Fairchild estate with their Aunt, after their parents have died in bad weather crossing the English Channel.  The surrounding hills are awash in prime matchmaking material. The nearby Derbyshire families all have marriageable chidlren, and the Fairchild ladies have designs!
Play as one of the families and improve your estate and family's position, so that your family can attract attention of the very eligible Mr. Fairchild or Miss Fairchild.
