Normality (PC) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
464A playthrough of Gremlin Interactive and Interplay's 1996 graphic adventure game for PCs running Dos, Normality.
I got this for Christmas a few months after it came out, and I loved it! The challenge strikes that rare balance between logic and absurdity in its puzzles: there aren't any truly difficult puzzles if you are paying attention. There are always tons of clues if you are paying attention to what people say and the descriptions of objects. This is a game that makes you ask yourself how you didn't realize the solution to a puzzle sooner. It's a nice change from those that make you wonder how the hell you ever lucked into whatever ridiculously illogical solution the sadistic developers could dream up.
The game feels very similar to Under a Killing Moon in many ways, though it is a huge improvement in the technical quality of its presentation: the environments are all 3D and can be freely explored with the mouse-look, a relatively uncommon feature in games from the mid-90s. The whole thing is incredibly bizarre, with the humor being so terrible that it sometimes manages to be amusing, and this is largely due to one of the oddest decisions I can recall in game publishing - when Interplay obtained the rights to release the game for the American market, some bright spark decided to redub the whole thing. And if you couldn't immediately identify his unpleasant and offensive voice, intonation, and speech patterns, that's Corey Feldman. Yeah. Interplay - wtf? The originally Kent was pretty bad, but of all actors, you went with Corey Feldman? The entire time, all I could think of was him in those waaaay too short of 80s shorts, Trump-like tufts of hair flowing in the breeze, burying a machete in Jason Vorhees.
And that's why many of the Normality videos on YouTube sound totally different from this one - this recording is of the American version. ...the different voice cast that is. Not because Corey Feldman, renaissance man extraordinaire (specializing in Zaxxon and latex-masks) viciously savaged an axe murderer at age child. (I dunno, 12yo? The phrase age child made me lol when I thought of it, so if you cringed reading it, oh well.)
Hope you enjoy the playthrough!
