A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux


It was a pretty normal morning. Except that Norm couldn't find his face. Help Norm find it, and along the way enjoy a story-based game that includes...

  • 17 layers of adaptive music
  • 206 hand drawn images
  • 48 animated sprites
  • probability-influenced choices
  • three narrative branches to explore, and
  • Norm's face (if you get that far).

Version 1.0 was created for Acerola Jam 0, and ver 2.0 was finalized for NaNoRenO 24. All music, art, and story (for both versions) were created by the author during the month of March 2024.

I sincerely hope you enjoy it!

Cheers!

This version is gold, the contemplative experience will make you think and feel, and that is one of the biggest things a game can do to you. 

Overall great experience, great music and interesting paths. 

This was such a beautiful experience - the art, music, and story were wonderful and touching. I had such a nice time playing this lovely game and I am looking forward to any of your future works!

Thank you so much for the very kind words! I am touched.

You'll find that most of my projects are as a composer. But I enjoyed this enough to consider working on more ren.py projects. Thank you again!
