Was AI used when designing Impropriety?
No, nor shall it ever be used in any of our projects. At Punktuation Games, we are firmly opposed to the use of AI in creative projects, and wholly support the authenticity of human-made art & fair compensation for artists.
All historical art in the game is Public Domain or was drawn by our game designer, Nina. Every word was written with love by Devon and Nina together. This game is a passion project that took 14 months to perfect, and we would not trade a single second of our emotional-equity for an AI tool.

In which languages will Impropriety be available?
This first edition is being published using UK/Canadian English only.
We would like to include as many enthusiastic Regency lovers as we can, but right now we must take it one language at a time. However, should Impropriety become a global gaming sensation, we have plans for localization in French, German, and Spanish in future editions or for future printings.

Is Impropriety a clean romance?
Yes, Impropriety follows the example of the writings of Jane Austen, where nothing explicit is ever shown or discussed in the game. The title is a commentary on societal improprieties of the Regency Era in public behaviour and in friendship. In fact, the most “touching” that happens in the game is the act of participating in a dance.
The age range of 14+ was chosen because of the level of reading comprehension recommended to capture the full spectrum of humour and literary inference in the game.

If I became a VIP and reserved my copy before the campaign, how do I add the free copy of the Jane Austen mini-expansion to my order?
We will manually add all of the Jane Austen Mini-expansion packs to VIP orders after the campaign ends. You will see the pack listed as an addon for $7 CAD; you DO NOT need to add it to your order at checkout if you became a VIP prior to the campaign.

Are there any plans to expand the Impropriety Universe further?
Yes! We are currently working on Volume III: Seaside Jubilee, and a Christmas instalment called Yuletide: A Regency Christmas Amusement (titles not final).

Do you have plans to publish other games outside the Impropriety Universe?
Yes! Our next game—Modiste, a Romantic Era Fashion Game—was recently a top finalist in the Panda Game Manufacturing 25 in 25 Sponsorship Contest, and we will be launching it in late 2026 once fulfilment of Impropriety is wrapping up.

Will there be a solo story mode for Masquerade?
We would love to add one, and depending on the reception of the solo mode in Volume One, we are considering adding it as an additional expansion available with the launch of Volume Three, and Yuletide in 2027/28. In short, if it is wanted, we will write it! Let us know!

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
