Victorian Debutante

Victorian Debutante is a narrative game about a young upper-class woman preparing to make her debut before the Queen and the royal family. You face more than 20 situations, each with four choices that affect your future, and decide whether to meet your family's expectations and ambitions or pursue your own path.

The debut season

In the United Kingdom, the tradition of presenting young women at court lasted nearly two hundred years, until Queen Elizabeth II abolished it. A debutante was a girl coming of age and entering adult society, usually from an aristocratic or upper-class background. The debut and the season that followed were important to both her and her family: success could mean finding a husband in her first season and securing a place in high society for herself and her prospective daughter, while failure could leave her an outcast, largely secluded.

Choices and endings

Your decisions shape who you become and how your story ends. The game has four possible endings, with hand-drawn pictures and portraits accompanying its plot.
