What do I need to play this game?

I'm sorry for being a beginner.

I found this game on Twitter and arrived at this site

Do I need any special tools to play this game on my PC?

Or can I just download and unzip the zip to play normally?

Hi Cruise, no worries, and thanks for checking out our game!

To play Project Blue, you need an NES emulator. There are a ton of free emulators out there, on the PC I recommend Mesen, 

https://www.mesen.ca/

This game comes as a ROM, you can open it inside Mesen, I hope that helps! (once you've got Mesen set up, you should be able to simply double click on the ROM file and it will launch inside Mesen, making it basically the same as an .exe in that regard).

I was able to download Mesen and open Project Blue in my application! 

I had the NES emulator nestopia, so I could open it with it as well. 

Thanks for your help!

Hmm it doesn't mention any NES file / rom - only Windows, Linux, Mac and Android.

Are you sure there's a *.nes file included even though there's no indication of NES compatibility in the file list?

Pretty sure itch doesn't have settings to mark a game as being for the NES, but the game can be played using an emulator in any of those platforms, as well as placed on a cartridge and played on real NES hardware if you have the equipment to do that. 

And yes it comes with an *.nes file

Cool!
