Hyde: Why?!? Dear ,
Hello? It's Brayle who's here with a pen again.
How was your week? Autumn has arrived where I live.
The sky is clear, the breeze is clean, and it's pleasantly cool.
I'm enjoying comfortable and peaceful days. π
I hope you're experiencing similar simple joys like I am, .
Yesterday, I took a walk down an unfamiliar path, a road less traveled.
Baby trees, grown noticeably taller, caught my eye! It made me curious.
I wonder, how tall are the characters in 'Jekyll and Hyde'?
Today, I'll tell you about the heights of the 'Jekyll and Hyde' characters. π

Historical Accuracy in 'Jekyll and Hyde' Challenged!? |
|
|
During the late 19th century, which is considered the backdrop for both 'Jekyll and Hyde' and 'Hyde and Seek' (roughly around the 1880s in the Victorian era), the average height of British men was about 170cm.
While there aren't precise data available for women during that time, considering that the modern average height for British women is about 164.4cm, we can estimate that women in the Victorian era had an average height of around 150cm.
The heights of characters in 'Hyde and Seek' were roughly disclosed, so let's summarize them:
- Kate: 157cm
- Hyde: He doesn't mention it, but early 160s
- Dr. Jekyll: 182cm
- Inspector Newcomen: 179cm
- Sally: 162cm
- Pollie: 168cm
- Alan: 173cm
- Emma: Seated height of 80cm (estimated to be early 150s)
- Mihir: 185cm
- Mollie: (Hey, human, cats aren't measured by height!)
So there seems to be a slight deviation from the historical averages for these characters!

In the original novel 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', which serves as the basis for 'Jekyll and Hyde', there are visual descriptions of central characters.
The main characteristics described in the original work were as follows:
Utterson: Tall
Jekyll: Balanced and robust build
Lanyon: Small stature
Hyde: Short man
However, when you compare Utterson, Jekyll, and Lanyon in the game, they seem almost similar...
The game did not strictly follow the heights of 19th-century British individuals or the descriptions from the novel! Why did that happen?
Let's ask someone involved in the development!
|
|
|
(Anonymous Developer): "In the cases of 'Jekyll and Hyde' and 'Hyde and Seek,' these works do not revolve around historical accuracy or heavily incorporate real historical elements, much like 'Pechka.'
Therefore, we thought it would be okay to describe the character heights in modern terms.
|
|
|
So why is Hyde 160cm...?" |
|
|
(Anonymous Developer): Some authenticity needs to be maintained. ^^
After the interview, this developer reportedly received a punch from a man with black hair...! π
So, here we go. Let's reveal the heights of Utterson, Lanyon, and Enfield.
|
|
|
Utterson : 180cm
Lanyon : 185cm
Enfield : 178cm
|
|
|
Lanyon
If you're tall, you might bump your head on the door or find it uncomfortable to get into a carriage.
Kate
Being short has its advantages! You can move swiftly...
Hyde
... ...
|
|
|
Jekyll
I'm older, have a larger build, and white hair.
So, does that make Hyde the opposite of me...?
Hyde
Yes, I'm younger, smaller in stature, and have black hair.
Jekyll
And I'm the tall one. So...
Hyde

Hello, I'm Gaila.
By any chance, have you joined Discord, ?
If it's okay, could you let me know whether you are on Discord?
Thanks for your time. I'm about to finish my letter now.

It seems Gaila had some questions to ask.
She left without even saying hello. π
Anyway... Did you enjoy reading it?
Even if there were unfinished or regretful things in the past week, don't keep them in your heart. Let it all out.
I hope you recharge with positive energy for the upcoming week.
Thanks for today, .

Feedback for MazMLetter!
"Thanks Brayle, and everyone from team MazM, you really inspired me as a novel enthusiast (since I never really felt interested in some novels, Like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and The Phantom Of The Opera. Now I'm reading them as an actual novel!) and to learn making visual novels. I'm sure someone out there reads these letters and feels the same way.π"
(I'll select one feedback received each week and share it with you.) |
