Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is a visual novel centered on identity, class, and emotional projection. It portrays a psychological confrontation between two women—one a frustrated artist, the other a nail technician—whose worlds collide after a hostile online comment. What appears to be a conflict over aesthetics slowly reveals itself as a entanglement between the “failed artist” and the “laborer forced to serve beauty.”

 

Set against the backdrop of survival anxiety and creative stagnation, the work asks: under the weight of reality, how do we perceive our own mediocrity and failure? As the game unfolds, time, space, and identity begin to collapse. The characters’ irrational behavior becomes a projection of inner turmoil, blurring the line between critique, self-hatred, and societal expectation.

 

While projection remains a key way for audiences to engage with art, this work raises an urgent question: Do artists have the right to reject malicious projections? Must they always take responsibility for others’ emotions—or become sacrifices to the very works they create?

 

This game is intended for a mature audience and includes graphic and violent content.
