  • Episode 2: A Lady's Imagination
    Apr 16 2020

    SEASON 1: Pride & Prejudice
    The virtual world of Austentopia is every Jane Austen fan’s dream...until it becomes a nightmare.

    EPISODE 2: A Lady's Imagination
    Olivia has accepted the beta player position at Rockville Softworks for her brother's sake, but she's hesitant about following through, especially after the beta player orientation reveals an unexpected and unwelcome member of her gaming party. Olivia debates her options, falling down a research rabbit hole and exploring Allworld Online using her brother's VR headset, until, finally, she makes her decision.

    Previously on Allworld Online:
    Olivia Crawford, a recently laid-off teacher, moved back into her family home with her parents and four siblings. She landed a job at a bookstore and enjoyed the care-free lifestyle for a time, but soon felt the pull to do more with her life. She applied for a position teaching at Rockville Softworks’ virtual academy, Rockville High, and nailed the interview, leaving with not one, but two job offers: one for a position as a virtual teacher, and one for a position as a prestigious beta player. She leaned toward the teaching position...until William St. George, a big wig at Rockville Sofworks, showed up at her home to make an offer she couldn’t refuse.

    The virtual world of Austentopia is every Jane Austen fan’s dream...until it becomes a nightmare.

    EPISODE 3: An Accomplished Woman
    Olivia has survived the VR implant procedure and is ready to begin work as one of Rockville Softworks' beta players. She steps into Pride and Prejudice alongside the other players in her gaming party, and all seems to be going wonderfully...at first. But Olivia quickly learns that not everything--or everyone--is what it seems.

    Previously on Allworld Online:
    Olivia Crawford attended the orientation for new Rockville beta players and met her gaming party, which unfortunately included the jerk from the interview waiting room. Olivia’s doubts surface as she learns more about the dangers of the VR implants, and she starts to search for a way out of the deal she’s made. To help her decide what to do, she explores Allworld Online using her brother’s VR headset, emerging more confused than ever. In the end, a heartfelt gift from her brother pushes her over the edge, and she commits to going through with the VR implant procedure and becoming a beta player. After the procedure, she awakens into the hyper-realistic virtual world and meets her Gigi, a black cat named Loki, who ushers her into Allworld Online.

    May 15 2020

    SEASON 1: Pride & Prejudice
    The virtual world of Austentopia is every Jane Austen fan’s dream...until it becomes a nightmare.

    EPISODE 4: A More Gentleman-like Manner
    Olivia continues to notice strange occurrences within Pride and Prejudice, and she plans to use her next logout to uncover exactly what's going on. But something unimaginable has happened, and she is forced to seek out a new ally to help her uncover the truth.

    Previously on Allworld Online:
    Olivia Crawford entered Pride and Prejudice and learned that she had been cast in the role of Elizabeth Bennet. Early on, Olivia notices some strange glitch-flashes that reveal that not everyone is who they seem. Later, at the Meryton Assembly, she discovers that the taciturn Colin has been cast as her love interest, Mr. Darcy. Also at the Assembly, Olivia discovers that Priya Burman, her gaming party’s liaison and project lead over all of Austentopia has secretly joined the game in the guise of another player. Priya tells Olivia to inform her if she notices anything else through the strange glitch-flashes. Olivia discovers that William St. George has entered the game disguised as George Wickham, and when she seeks out Priya to let her know, she learns that Priya--and the character she was playing--has vanished entirely from the game.

  • Episode 5: An Unhappy Alternative
    May 29 2020

    SEASON 1: Pride & Prejudice
    The virtual world of Austentopia is every Jane Austen fan’s dream...until it becomes a nightmare.

    EPISODE 5: An Unhappy Alternative
    Olivia is trapped in Pride and Prejudice, and players are vanishing, their characters written out of the story completely. Olivia must find a way too protect herself...before it's too late.

    Previously on Allworld Online:
    Olivia receives some strange messages written in tea stains, which only further set her on edge. During the next appointed logout window, she attempts to track down Priya Burman, only to discover that Priya has been “reassigned” to another project. Olivia isn’t sure she buys this story, and says as much to Colin. Now that she has nobody else to talk to about the weirdness she’s been experiencing in the game, she shares everything with him. Back in the game, Olivia visits Grace’s character in Hunsford, where she learns that Charles Bingley has vanished, meaning Holden is the next player to vanish. Olivia shares her fears with Colin, taking comfort in his presence and agreeing to logout--for good--as soon as she meets up with Nel and warns her of the danger as well. But just as Olivia is leaving Hunsford, she learns that Grace, too, has vanished.

  • Episode 6: A Natural Defect
    Jun 12 2020

    SEASON 1: Pride & Prejudice
    The virtual world of Austentopia is every Jane Austen fan’s dream...until it becomes a nightmare.

    EPISODE 6: A Natural Defect
    Olivia and Colin race against the clock to reach Nel before the game claims her. But will they make it to Longbourn in time?

    Previously on Allworld Online:
    Olivia and Nel discuss the logout issue and vow to stick together to prevent either one of them from vanishing like some of the other players. Their pact, however, is challenged when Olivia is faced with Elizabeth Bennett’s plotted trip to Derbyshire. Olivia manages to convince Mr. Bennett to allow Nel to come with her on the trip, but watches in horror as Mr. Bennett is replaced by an imposter right before her eyes, and Nel is forced to remain behind. Feeling doomed, Olivia leaves Longbourn with her in-game aunt and uncle (who have also been replaced by imposters), her only solace that she will soon be reunited with Colin--assuming he’s still in the game. Colin and Olivia do reunite and Pemberley, and they agree to a wild and wacky plan that just might ensure their safety by preventing the game and the imposters from separating them ever again--they run off to Gretna Green and get married.

  • Episode 7: A Certain Step
    Jun 26 2020

    SEASON 1: Pride & Prejudice
    The virtual world of Austentopia is every Jane Austen fan’s dream...until it becomes a nightmare.

    EPISODE 7: A Certain Step
    Olivia waits for Colin on the outside, but when it becomes clear that he won't be able to escape the game, Olivia teams up with Fiona to rescue the trapped players.

    Previously on Allworld Online:
    Olivia and Colin rush back to Longbourn to ensure Nel’s safety, but by the time they arrive, she has vanished. Olivia confronts Mrs. Bennett, letting it slip that she is aware of what’s going on in the game--and that she knows Mrs. Bennett isn’t who she seems. But before Olivia can wring the truth out of Mrs. Bennett, Mr. Bennett crashes the party...and he’s armed. Colin and Mr. Bennett grapple, with Colin eventually wresting control of the pistol. Olivia and Colin flee back to their carriage, where Loki suggests a shocking way out of the game--death, virtual, not actual. But before Olivia and Colin can carry out the morbid plan, their carriage is overtaken. Colin ejects Olivia from the game with a well-placed bullet, and Olivia is chased through the Biblioverse, barely escaping to the gatescape, where she logs out of the game.

When it becomes clear that Colin won't be able to escape the game on his own, Olivia teams up with Fiona to rescue Colin and the rest of the trapped players, with one stipulation--that Olivia’s brother, Charlie be brought on board. Fiona’s team helps Olivia prepare for re-entry into the game, loading her up with specially designed gear and weaponry. When Olivia logs back in to Allworld Online, she confers with Loki on the upcoming rescue mission, and the Gigi chooses from an array of newly unlocked Gigi upgrades, increasing his powers and abilities drastically by transforming into a Cheshire cat.
