The Norwood Suite

So, this is a very weird piece of modern art and I hate modern art. It leaves open all questions about everything, which I hate, as well. Most of the time, I clicked through seemingly meaningless dialogue, to advance in the story, something I... yeah, you know the drill. Now, strangely enough, after having played through this, I feel a deep feeling of satisfaction. Of calmness amidst all the funky madness this game exudes. Just like a well created song may give you an unexplanatory feeling you have never felt before, this game leaves me with that. With so many left off thought, waiting to be thought to the end, but no way of continuing them. And while that, normally, would be torment, somehow this is a soothing, healing feeling. I have no clue how all of this works together, or why I even played it, or why I am now feeling so satisfied, after an utterly nonsensical ending, that still fitted the tone. Still, among all the 400 games in my library, The Nordwood Suite will stay in my memory, haunting it in a good way. A bit discerning, yet beautiful.

Product received for free Definitiv one of the strangest Games I've ever played through. And I really didn't understand the Game now either. It actually consists only of a Series of Tasks, the Aim of which is to get things from certain People and then to gain Access to other Areas of the Hotel you have checked into. The Puzzles you have to solve consist mainly of various Switches or Buttons, which you have to press. In Doing so, You encounter people and enter Areas that are so oblique and absurd that I feel almost all The Time, thewhat the Developers war/en constantly tipped when er/developed the Game habe/n. Besides, it's extremely short-I played it through in a little more than 2 Hours, although I sometimes gave myself a lot of Time to read various Letters or listen even further to conversations, having already learned the most Important thing. For what is on offer here, the Price of the Game is unfortunately unreasonably high-for Friends of the more abstract Games I can recommend the Game if it is greatly reduced in Supply-for everyone else this is probably rather nix.

Hypnotic Beats, bizarre Sceneries, oblique Characters and plenty of Secrets await the Player as he embarks on this small, surrealist Artwork by Cosmo D. With a few puzzling Sentences, one is exposed late at Night by a Woman in the Street outside the remote Hotel Norwood. The Rest is Left to the Player himself. Not only do you explore the Game World and the Lives of hotel guests and Staff on your own, but you also discover your Role in it itself. Bit By bit, a profound Story is composed and reveals dark Secrets. A First-person music adventure that captivates and immerses you in for hours before you know it. This is not least due to the really successful Soundtrack. But it is also this relaxed Game that sets in after a few Minutes. There are no Guidelines and one moves in an open, almost dreamlike world without a goal. A Sense of Freedom of Play that Creates Satisfaction and thus space and Time for extensive Exploration. A unique Game that really captivated and fascinated me on the Spot. Small but fine and absolutely recommended.
