Created a new user, same issue. Can't type. Though it does seem to take input from the keyboard. I can skip text and 'a' brings up the accessibility options.
Well, there are a few post about Fedora with mouse and keyboard problems in the internet... Maybe a different Distro or a clean install will fix your problem.

When I made is executable the file changed into a plain Game file, when I click it nothing happens.
I assume you downloaded the Linux build of Treasure of Nadia.

Mark file Game.desktop and nw as executable and the game will start through the "Game" file.

I don't see much differences between this and the vanilla version of NW.js, but if it can help, I'll add it to the OP. Thanks!

Anyone know how to play Treasure of Nadia linux version in Ubuntu? I tried running the .sh file it doesn't run.

The Linux version of that game has no .sh file in it. The suggestion of cold_arctus should be enough to solve the problem, but if it's not enough, did you create it? And what's written in it? This example should be enough to launch the game, assuming the "nw" file is marked as executable:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
./nw
I don't know what your experience in Linux is, but just in case: The first line is important, it's not a comment. It has to be in the .sh file, at its beginning. It tells the operating system how to execute the commands. (Probably oversimplified, but whatever.) Removing it may result in the code not working. (Or at least that's how I learned it, to be honest I never tried to remove it to see what happens.)

I've been having trouble with every renpy game. None will take keyboard input. Any help would be appreciated.
That's really bizarre. I'm sure it hass nothing to do with the keyboard settings, because I use a different layout and have never had any problem. It looks to me like a problem between Fedora and Ren'py, something like "Ren'py looks for keyboard input somewhere, but Fedora puts it somewhere else." If that's the case, you should find the two locations and create a link. I know it sounds vague, but I'm really at the limit of my knowledge here, I can't be more precise than that, sorry.
A couple of suboptimal solutions would be playing through Wine or through a virtual machine with another Linux distribution. For the latter case there are many lightweight distributions that can be used. Lubuntu may be a good choice. It has many problems with the graphic environment, but it's really stable and you won't probably notice anything if you just use to play Ren'py games inside a VM.

Now, is there a way to play The Twist in linux? I tried it in wine, but the characters are missing some body parts.

yes, you can play The Twist on Linux as long your computer is powerful enough and has a good graphic card.

To see the missing "body parts" I think you need to install corefonts via winetricks.

Yes, it is powerful enough, because when it was still in windows it played smoothly. Now I need to look into that corefonts I hope it's easy to do.

if you use the standard wineprefix in your home directory (hidden folder called .wine), then open a terminal and type:
Code:
winetricks corefonts
This will install all windows corefonts in your standard wineprefix .wine.

If you use a customized prefix use
Code:
WINEPREFIX=~/.[name of your prefix] winetricks corefonts

Okay, it showed in terminal. I'll try The Twist now.

Sadly, it changed a bit like there are "some" parts that a character has a full body and clothes, but majority is still missing body parts. :'(

Try to run the game from a shell and post here the output. It may contain some information on what is not working.

Resolution: 768 x 576
Graphics: Fastest
Windowed
Which Wine version do you use? Because non of the textures are loaded in your game. Also, you should change Graphic settings at least to Low and not Fastest.
Pls show me your output of:
Code:
wine --version

Here is your problem! Why do you use such an old Wine version? Upgrade to Wine 4.0 and try the game again.
It worked! Not sure when I tried screenshot the options vanished. There's one more problem to it, how to remove the shadows? It is flickering. I forgot that if I minimize the game it gives me black screen, how to fix this?

Also, why My Hunting Adventure game opens, but blackscreen? I can hear the song, but it is blackscreen.
