Nightingale Manor

Zariah's on her own, looking for a fresh new start - and she finds one when she's hired by the owner of Nightingale Manor.

Aaron and Xander Nightingale live alone in the isolated mansion, still adjusting after a tragic family loss. Xander is a rather distant eleven-year-old, and despite being the son of a wealthy movie director, he's anything but happy and well-adjusted. But, when the two take on a new live-in nanny, things begin to change.

Zariah feels as if she might just be able to help the two lonesome Nightingales, and she's happy to become part of their family - but there's something off about the place, some dark, bizarre presence, something she can't quite put her finger on, something far more unsettling than anything she'd ever seen in a horror movie.

To call the Nightingale "haunted" wouldn't even begin to cover it all.

Nightingale Manor is my very first visual novel, and I originally planned for it to be longer, but my health has taken a terrible turn, and I had to limit the number of projects I regularly work on. Also, my transparency tool left something of an 'outline' around the characters, but I ended up liking the way it looked, so I left it in.

If you enjoy my art or storytelling at all, I would greatly appreciate some support on my other platforms, mainly regarding my novels and mangas. You can find my published works here; https://www.amazon.com/author/gingersbooksandcomics and, if you liked Nightingale Manor, then you'll probably enjoy the original novel, Nightingale - as well as the Supernaturally manga series.

I have to give a shoutout to Nightcore, of course, and I currently don't have the energy to find and list every single copyright-free music creator whose music I used in the game, so here is a playlist containing those creators. I highly recommend em for anyone else making a game like this! Here ya go;  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBKuS94LtkmZro2JaKNAOwLxnI_MmqlRq&si=ZOYScP7p...

One more fun fact; the anime Xander references, Viator, is actually a real thing. It's a time-travel story, which I've just started a webtoon for. You can find that, free to read, here; https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/viator/list?title_no=950513 

Thanks so much for playing Nightingale Manor if you did, and I hope to create something bigger and better if I'm still kicking around in the future.
