About the Story
Find love, fame, and fortune in New York, with an intriguing cast of flappers and federal agents! Temptation is everywhere in this steamy 1920s romance!
It's 1926 and there’s no place on Earth like New York City. You left the small town you grew up in to seek fame, fortune, and romance on Broadway, but success and true love have both proven more elusive than you imagined. You never dreamed you’d be torn between helping one lover save their illegal speakeasy, while another lover tries to destroy it!
Jazz Age is a 125,000-word interactive novel by Nicola R. White, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Play a leading role…in Prohibition! But will your heart find its match with a worldly club owner or the street-smart federal agent who wants to shut it down? Along the road to love, you’ll also have the chance to become a star, fight for workers' rights, and save your family home. Who can you trust in a world of guns and glamour?
* Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, bi, or poly.
* Attend auditions for a role on Broadway or pursue a career in a speakeasy.
* Outwit the FBI—or join forces to enforce Prohibition laws.
* Help out your family back home—or sever all ties to your old life as you rise to the top.
* Find love with a gruff federal agent or a street-smart nightclub owner.
* Meet historic figures and explore the streets of 1920s New York.
* Befriend a flapper, a dandy, or a socialite.
* Will you choose love or stardom in 1920s New York?
Booze, fame, love & sex—New York has it all!

Under different circumstances, I would’ve given this game four stars. However, there is one major problem which led me to give its current rating.
You play as a fresh-faced new arrival in Prohibition Era New York, hoping to find fame and fortune on Broadway. However, the road to stardom is a perilous one as you try to scrape a living in the city while hoping for your lucky break.
The setting and writing is actually pretty good, and I enjoyed the story quite a lot. However, there is one major flaw with this game.
Romances feel secondary in this game. In a Heart’s Choice release, that does feel self-defeating. There are two romance options, but there just seems to be little in the way of romance with these characters, and interactions in the game make them feel more like business associates for the most part. There is a fairly intense sex scene in the story, but with the lack of romantic buildup, it feels like it was merely there to check a box.
If you’re here to read a good story, Jazz Age provides one. But if you’re here for romance, which I presume you are if you’re looking at the Heart’s Choice label, this might not be it.
