About Dear Althea
"Dear Althea" is a captivating visual novel inspired by the 1897 novel "Dear Faustina" by Rhoda Broughton. Set in the enchanting backdrop of Victorian London, players step into the shoes of Althea Vane, a young woman from the upper class whose life dramatically alters following her father's death. This event forces her to navigate a world filled with decisions that influence not only her own future but the lives of those around her.
With 41 chapters and a staggering total of 780 meticulously crafted illustrations, the game immerses players in the intricacies of social class and dynamic relationships of the era. Each chapter features between 18 and 50 illustrations that bring the story to life, encapsulating the emotions and moments that Althea encounters.
The choices you make hold weight, shaping both Althea's path and her interactions with a diverse cast of characters. Whether pursuing romantic relationships—including options within the LGBTQIA+ spectrum—or navigating friendships, your decisions lead to unique dialogues and outcomes. Consent is a key theme, ensuring respectful relationships are prioritized.
With puzzles that can be bypassed if preferred, an accessible design, and a rich narrative containing over 112,408 words, "Dear Althea" offers a multifaceted storytelling experience that engages players for approximately five hours, depending on their choices and pace.
