Debutante was a general term used to describe a girl coming of age, entering womanhood and society as an adult. The word usually relates to women of aristocratic or upper-class background. In the United Kingdom, the tradition of young women being presented at court was upheld for nearly two hundred years until Queen Elizabeth II abolished it.
The debut and the season following it was the most important time for both the debutante and her family. If the woman was lucky and very hardworking, she would not only land a husband in her first season but secure a spot in the high society for herself and her prospective daughter. If she failed, she might have become an outcast and spend the rest of her life pretty much secluded…
Heyho! This is Jumack, the developer behind the Victorian Debutante. I am a novice single developer, passionate about games ever since I learnt how to use a computer mouse. It was before I learnt how to turn that machine on! Victorian Debutante is my official first project and it stems from the sheer love for games and the Victorian Era.
I’m planning on developing the game with time, here’s a little list of features I’ll be adding:
- localisations in different languages,
- full dubbing in localised languages,
- animations and environment sounds for stories pictures,
- in-game wiki for more and less known facts about the era
Keep up with all the news and share your thought, or just come to say heyho! https://discord.gg/DBFd5Q54dW

i found this game on a Friday and it made my weekend!
It's a well-written visual novel with good length, replayability, multiple endings, interesting paths to choose for the debutante if that's what you choose, nice music, and nice art.
It's not long or too short and I think I'll try for some other endings.
It was pretty fun to pretend to be a Victorian Debutante for half an hour.
I would say it's about two to three hours long if you play all the routes and my computer isn't working so it looks like I played for a really long time but it's a really fun, nice short and sweet game of course.
Overall, I liked it and look forward to other games from this developer.

A short, but sweet visual novel about a young debutante. I enjoyed it tremendously and replayed it quite a few times! The art is beautiful and the music really set the atmosphere for the gameplay. I do wish, however, that there were more endings, hehe. For example, I wish we could have married Christopher since there were many scenes with him. There was also this strange, unknown man I hoped to have seen more of, and while playing I began to wonder if Beth was an option for romance as well? Like, Beth's presence brings you immense comfort and the feeling of stability and you know you can tell her everything. What you like even more is staying close and silent, however. It's not something you have with anyone else. You look at her and adore her unobvious beauty. She looks at you, too, and raises her brows with a smile. Um, hello?! But anyways, can I just take a moment to gush over the gorgeous writing this game has? I genuinely loved playing this visual novel and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an immersive experience in the Victorian era.
