Vicboys is a dating sim set in Victorian England. You’ll play as an intriguing young woman whose arrival causes a great stir in the village of Vicville. But as the novelty fades, the townsfolk proceed with their lives, leaving you to your own. You must try to make a living for yourself, mingle with the citizens and find a way to fit in. Otherwise, you'll be forced to fight poverty... and loneliness. As a woman from a modest background, you won’t be restrained by the social conventions set by the upper class. But the fear of becoming an old spinster taints us all. As time passes you find your interest piqued by some of Vicville’s prominent bachelors.
But who will you pursue?
Will you…
· ask your neighbour for a little bit more sugar?
· count your blessings with the local philanthropist?
· be the needle to the tailor’s thread?
· win the heart of the shutterbug nobleman?
· be the teacher’s favourite subject?
· lure the mysterious lad out of his shell?
During this time she’ll encounter a rich variety of characters from different social classes who all play their own part in her story.
Eventhough Vicboys takes place in the Victorian era, you can still expect lots of humor and playful mockery of its genre.

We also have the pleasure of working with an insanely talented voice cast and
a sound composer who will provide the game with an original soundtrack.
Due to personal issues, we had to put this project on hold for a bit but we're back on track now.
22-06-2017 - We shared our Voice Demo featuring our talented voice actors.
