Seven Nights in Vienna

Europe needs you! Napoleon has returned, and all of the nobility at the Congress of Vienna are busy dividing their spoils.

Attend their parties and perform procedurally generated dances so that you can maneuver them into doing the right thing: raising a new coalition army to stop him.

You are Charles Phillipe, Count of Artois. You have seven nights to ensure the nations of Europe will fight off Napoleon at Waterloo.

How to play:

Most parts of the UI have descriptions inside mouse tooltips.

Your goal is to win over enough support for the formation of the seventh coalition army. Characters will become supporters if enough of their contacts are.

Dancing well provides cover for your other actions. It slows suspicion gain and powers your stealing.

Stealing and putting the items somewhere else will cause relationships to form or break.

Movement controls are WASD. Select an active ability with 123.

1 disables ability use. 2 shoves people out of the way. 3 will plant or steal items.

The selected ability is used by bumping into someone.

Mouse over characters to pull up information about them. Click to make the info pane stick. The info pane has tooltip descriptions for its items.
