Nyna Lives: Chapter 1
by Sarah Rhiannon Nowack

Nyna Lives: Chapter 1 is a web browser interactive fiction story written with Twine and is © 2017 by Sarah Rhiannon Nowack. It was an entry in IF Comp 2017 where it took 48th place.

In this story, you play as a cat named Nyna who has just gotten comfortable. However, your mistress, a witch, has a job for you. She needs you to fetch a spell ingredient for her, a flower that blooms only once a month. Be careful out there!

This solution is by David Welbourn.
