The Nays Origins
Game Summary
Welcome to The Worlds, where those with strong mind abilities are recognized and shine. Each World has its own leader and those who populate it.
In this story, you’ll start in a World called Compass World where an otter named Rotle lives. Rotle is a teenager in a popular band called Meteor Age.
While he has a strong presence in his group of friends, he doesn’t feel confident in his own abilities and has a lot of anxiety. He resorts to secluding himself in times to calm himself down.
Rotle may be popular in his group of friends, but they don’t often talk about their feelings and how they’re doing before performances. After some events that take place, Rotle ends up in The Worlds where life is very different from what he's used to in Biggert City.
Compass World is sectioned off from the rest of The Worlds, and the inhabitants are mostly oblivious to what other Worlds are out there. Once he finds himself in The Worlds, he meets Malik, who takes him through a series of trials and shows him a completely new lifestyle.
Development Information
This puzzle adventure game was developed in GB Studio. This project was created in one year as a Christmas gift for my brother. It's playable on a Game Boy Color if you have an EZ Flash Jr or you can play it on the Analogue Pocket.
This game takes place during the beginning of The Nays story and showcases what the R Nays were doing while the M and S Nays were in The Gek's World. There are flashbacks to events that took place before the story and tells the origins of The Worlds.

Hey, thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested in selling physical cartridges of my game. I plan to keep this game free on my itch.io page only.
