Nancy
A downloadable game
Eyes open to an alien world; hostile, painful and frightening.
The only thing to hold onto is a distant voice, always calling the same name.
"... Nancy..."

So yes, this is my first attempt at a Visual Novel.
Well Kinetic Novel technically as there are no choices and only 1 ending, but you get the point.
Extremely basic stuff with stock images and sound effects, but this is something I've wanted to try for ages so I figured I'd just give it a go. Fun fact; this story was just going to be put up as a regular story as I'd thought of it ages ago, but I figured it would work well for my first Visual Novel. Because this is my first one it is very much a test run, so if there are any issues with bugs, effects not working, typos, insufficient content warnings or general constructive feedback please let me know. I don't know how often I'll be looking at making new visual novels because I have enough to focus on, especially as I'm going to be making a push to get my novel done this year, but it's definitely something I'm interested in so if this gets good reception then you never know.
Windows only release for now because I'm still having trouble with the Mac and browser exports, will keep working on that and either add a Mac export once I've figured it out or if I figure out the browser export first then I'll change the whole thing to a browser game. Sorry to anyone on Mac, I promise I will find a way to get this done so you can play it to but I've been messing around with this for a while and am at the stage where I just want to get it out there. I've also uploaded both the .exe file on it's own and the full folder to be unzipped in case the file alone doesn't work (please let me know if it does though, had a couple of friends test just the .exe file for me and it worked but I still want to be sure - I'm overly paranoid about getting this right).
Thank you for giving this a chance and for everyone who's supported my writing so far, hope you enjoy and see you for the next one.

Beautiful writing, such a wonderful author you are!
THEIR JUST A LITTLE GUY AND I LOVE THEM. THEY CAN BE MY KID ITS OKAY. (Fantastic short story!)
Aw thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
just so you know, the exe isnt working (at least for me) and downloading the .7z file didnt help
Thanks for letting me know. Did any specific error messages come up when you tried to open the .exe file or after you unzipped the .7z file?
Okay, I didn't realize how to unzip the file, so that part's on me. However, the .exe in the unzipped .7z file won't work on my computer (probably user error again) and the .exe file won't do anything at all. I'm sorry if I'm wasting your time because truly I don't know very much about computers so it could all be solely on my end.
You're not wasting my time at all, this is the first game I've ever released so any technical issues people have are definitely things I want to know about.
Just to double check, are you using windows or a mac?
