I'm happy to release beta version of my very short Kinetic novel "Ivy"
I wrote this to train myself in writing. Here is my method : I select a keyword, perform a search in Flickr (I'm not a graphic artist at all), choose 5-6 photos and try to imagine a story to go with it.
Then I put it together in Ren"Py, with music and sound for ambiance.
This is also an occasion to train to Ren'Py coding.
Here is the result of my first attempt :
The plot
Ivy is a famous singer, but she has a secret... Her fame comes from a supernatural cause...

Disclaimer
English is not my native language, but I made a quick translation so that people here could read my work. However I intend to ask my colleagues that teach english to review my work. French version is of course a better choice if you can read it.
Nonetheless, if you find mispellings or translations errors, I'd be happy to know.
I'd also be interested to know if there is any strange behaviour in my game (especially windows or MacOSX versions, as I work mostly on linux)
Thanks for your help and critiques.
