Our new game "HRO" will be featured in Steam Next Fest!
We at W&M are over the moon to share with you that we've announced our next title, and it will be available to play next week in Steam's Next Fest!
HRO: Adventures of a Humanoid Resources Officer is a puzzle-driven visual novel set in a retro-futuristic sci-fi universe. You play the underappreciated Humanoid Resources Officer aboard the Endeavor — a military spaceship with more than its fair share of crew rivalries, office politics, and erratic decision-makers. When the Endeavor stumbles into universe-shaking trouble, you must harness the power of the bureaucracy to rein in your crew’s worst impulses and survive to the next episode!
You can check out the game on the store page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1198520/HRO_Adventures_of_a_Humanoid_Resources_Officer/
During Next Fest (June 16th - 22nd) you'll be able to download a free preview demo of HRO! Additionally, we've launched a W&M Discord server: https://discord.gg/4yWcQTn6gH
Please stop by and say hello! We'd love to connect and get your feedback on HRO!
Austen Translation Musical Update
Gentle People,
We hope you're all doing well out there and staying safe.
We are delighted to announce that Austen Translation has received a musical upgrade. You may note that the dulcet tones of the rather frenetic accompanist sound a little different. Functionally, the music remains the same. But the previously utilized MIDI system has been replaced with a sampled piano. Keep an eye and an ear out for an update soon for a soundtrack release date. It's been a long-time coming but we're super busy here at W&M.
Until the next announcement, enjoy this musical upgrade and as always, thanks so much for playing!

Jane Austen Video Game Mocks A Society Obsessed With Marriage
In the opening to the 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen wrote, “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” In the new 2018 video game Austen Translation, you play as a woman who’ll do anything to win over that kind of single man. It’s hilarious. (more...)
