The Tale of Jane Eyre

You arrive at Thornfield Manor tired, bruised and  anxious. Your aloof employer has described very little in her letters about the job itself, and all you are sure of  is that you are to be the governess of her young son.

This is the first time you have ever been on your own. Your tortured past haunts your every step, but you refuse to cower in the face of uncertainty. Headstrong and determined, you face your fate...

... no matter the cost...

Alice has seen a decade of secrets pass through the doors of Thornfield Hall. She will be your confidant, your guiding light, and the keeper of your hope as the long Winter drags on. But can you trust her...?

Although the rest of the staff keeps their distance, you are not afraid of the darkness in your young student's eyes. You have been given an impossible task, and have chosen to lead with kindness. But will that be enough...?

He is fearsome, changeful, proud and cold. But then... why do you feel so much warmth when he stand close to you? Why must you tear yourself away from him every time you meet? Why, at his lowest moments, does he always reach for you?

This demo was made for the Otome Jam 2025!

Thank you so much for being here!

This is my very first visual novel, my very first time using renpy, my very first time using procreate, and my very first time participating in a jam! I really hope you enjoy the story we have crafted and forgive any hiccups!

Please send any bugs to bunnidewabbit@gmail.com and I'll get right on a fix as soon as I can! I am not stopping development, just submitting my project before the jam ends, so I WILL be releasing the full version soon.
