The Norwood Suite (2017)

This was a strange game. Having finished it, I'm not sure if I liked it. I don't think I did. I usually do like strange things but I guess this one didn't click to me. It's odd for sure.

It's sort of a surrealist first person walking simulator with light puzzles, with a focused on music themes. It less then 2 hours long. I don't think it's horrible and maybe, if this type of weird fits with you, you would like it. It didn't fit with me, perhaps I'm not musically inclined enough or I didn't get the particular humor/surrealist vibe.

Either way, even with the 2 hours, like it wasn't terrible, however, I don't think it was worth the 2 hours to me, and I don't think I enjoyed it.

I haven't got round to adding Tales From Off-Peak City Vol. 1 to Grouvee yet, but goddamn do I recommend it! The world is one of surrealist synaesthesia wherein everything holds its own beat of life and as Kotaku mentioned 'Brechtian alienation and David Lynch oddness.' Your main mission has this initially exciting spy-like impetus to it that gets muddied in the sheer texture of it all, but in a satisfying way. The music is... I need it isolated from the game so that I can listen to it perpetually. It's currently 'free' with Humble Choice.

I'd love to see someone else's superior, yet still equally over-exposed shots!

I finished this game a good while ago but I still think of it sometimes. I can honestly say it was the weirdest yet most fascinating game I have ever played. It made me stop and just look at my surroundings more times than I can count so for that reason alone I don't want to explain why it's so unique but would suggest everyone should also experience this game.

And anyway even if I tried to describe it I don't think I could
