Overview

Nico’s Domain is the story at the centre of everything here: a horror visual novel about a digital entity named Nico who lives inside your computer.

Talk to her through branching dialogue, explore her rooms, and decide how far you let her reach into your desktop — every desktop interaction asks for your consent first.

It’s Nico’s first story game, with more planned.

Features

  • Branching dialogue

    Your answers shape how Nico treats you, and where the story goes.

  • Room exploration

    Search the spaces inside her domain for what she’d rather you didn’t find.

  • Consent-based desktop interactions

    When the story reaches outside the game window, it asks before it touches your desktop.

Release notes
