New version - 11 AprilIn this new version several minor bugs are fixed, most of them only happened in specific cases. Before looking at the notes I would like to thank those who have reported bugs to me and especially @Bahaha for his detailed comments on itch.io.
[olist]
Fixed the loop that was created when making certain decisions near the beginning of the game when Fanny appears on the scene.
Fixed bug, experienced by some players, where the floral frame around the portraits in the dialogue in front of the library door would disappear.
Fixed spelling error in Mrs. Baxter's description.
Fixed a couple of minor decisions that were not remembered by the game.
Updated, under the "extras" menu, which leads to a webpage with the original novel, take a look at it! Then you can compare the two works and see why the videogame is a re-signification of the original work.
[/olist]
They are proposing to release a free Linux version on itch.io to test if the game can work properly on this version, if you are interested in this, please post a comment in the comments of this news.
Greetings and thanks for the interest you show for my project, I didn't expect it being my first big videogame.
[ 2022-04-11 08:08:24 CET ] [ Original post ] About this game
This visual novel, full of decisions and repercussions, is a fun reinterpretation of the novel "Dear Faustina" (1897) by British author Rhoda Broughton. Each chapter is filled with beautiful, high quality artwork that illustrates all the situations and moments you will experience alongside the charismatic characters. The art that you will be able to see has been made with special care in the representation of the British Victorian era as well as taking into account the class difference that is present at all times. The entire video game has 51 chapters that you will only be able to see if you play all the routes and enjoy the nine endings of the video game.Story
In Dear Althea, you play as Althea Vane; a young upper class British woman whose life is turned upside down after the death of her father which causes her family to fall apart along with her future. She will be forced to choose a new future, a place to call home and a group to belong to. To get there she will have to face all sorts of situations in Victorian London, but love and romance will fortunately abound and make her quest more enjoyable.Choices matter
You will find that the choices you make will change the story from the very first chapter, even if they change there will be many of them that will affect the story in the long run. In Dear Althea, your choices can affect not only your fate, but also the fate of other people. They can also change your relationship with other characters and open up new routes of dialogue that will change the dynamics of relationships.Diverse relationships
You don't have to fall in love with anyone or enter into any kind of romantic or sexual relationship in the game, but depending on your choices you can enter into a relationship with up to four characters that fall within the LGBT spectrum, however you don't have to choose just one relationship; you can enter into a variety of polyamorous relationships.Consent
In this video game, consent is discussed and encouraged in all aspects of relationships between characters. In romantic relationships there is no obligation to have sex, and refusing to have sex has no negative repercussions.Characters
There is a great diversity of charismatic characters in "Dear Althea" but there is a clear division between upper class and working class characters. As a protagonist you can decide from the first chapter and throughout the story which group you are more sympathetic to. Defending characters from one class or the other can have repercussions.Puzzles
If puzzles are not your thing you can skip them without missing any important plot points; however, there has been a lot of effort in the creation of the puzzles to make them all diverse. They have been integrated in the best possible way into the storyline as well as being completely set in the era in which the story takes place.Typography
The typography has been created to help people with dyslexia to identify letters more easily. It is based on the typeface that appears in the original 1897 book.Endings
There are a total of nine completely different final chapters, many of which are the result of decisions that took place several chapters earlier.Due to the branching of the story, finishing a single route can cause you to miss even twenty whole chapters that belong to the other routes, so the title invites replayability. Also, as a final surprise, there are some small post-credits scenes that will change depending on the decisions made throughout the story.MINIMAL SETUP- OS: Linux Ubuntu
