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
