It all started as an experiment. We wanted to find out what was truly 'normal'.

The Normal Man. follows normal protagonist Norman Davis as he lives his normal daily life. What he does not  know is that there are cameras recording and watching his every move, and broadcasting his life to the world as if it were a movie.  His parents are actors, his hometown a set, all controlled by sadistic director Hector Wright, who will stop at nothing to produce quality entertainment. After all, everyone loves a good underdog story.

The game is a text-based narrative adventure with psychological horror elements that are based on my personal experiences with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The Normal Man. contains elements that some may find disturbing, such as death, attempted self-harm, and violence. Please play at your own risk. Your mental health is more important than playing a stranger’s online game. VOLUME WARNING- MUSIC IS LOUD. I HAVE TRIED TO FIX THIS MANY WAYS BUT IT WON'T STOP BEING LOUD. I AM STARTING TO THINK I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY.

You can play for free today, or tomorrow, or even yesterday.  Any and all feedback is appreciated. I'm looking to improve my writing any chance I get.

IMPORTANT!

To ensure that the game runs properly, please refrain from refreshing your browser. This project was made in Twine using the Sugarcube engine, which means that all audio and visuals must be cached before they’re shown in the correct passages. Since I use a few of these in the beginning, I’ve cached them in the first passage. Therefore, refreshing any other passage will remove the cache, causing an error message.

Hey :)
First of all. That was a lot. But in a good way, it wasn't too much.
I encountered this Error above "audiences love an underdog" :
Error: <<audio>>: error during runner initialization: track "paper" does not exist
The same goes for the next image.
Besides that I didn't spot any major bugs :)
