Crazy adventure game, belonging to the genre of so-called wacky adventures. The action takes place in the fictional city of Neutropolis, where normality and predictability have prevailed for years, and all manifestations of individualism are brutally suppressed. Playing the role of a crazy young man named Kent, we challenge the prevailing stagnation, trying to explain the reasons for the current state of affairs.

Normality Inc. is a crazy adventure game in which we try to oppose the strange order prevailing in our hometown. The British studio Gremlin Interactive is responsible for the creation of the title - authors of such hits as the Premier Manager series or the Lotus Turbo Challenge trilogy.

The action of the game is set in Neutropolis - a fictional city of the future, where the so-called "normality" reigns, and all residents are painfully arranged, boring and predictable. The exception is the main character of the game named Kent, who challenges the common stagnation and stagnation. Our protagonist will try to discover the causes of this state of affairs and change the surrounding reality. As one can easily guess, Kent's actions will not be in the hands of the "Normals" faction that governs the city, which in Neutropolis continues to intimidate citizens, and all manifestations of individuality are brutally suppressed.

Normality Inc. is a representative of a rather rare species of so-called wacky adventures, where more important than the story itself are served in bulk quantities, the most varied skits and gags. Although the action is shown from the first person's perspective, the gameplay itself is fundamentally similar to classic point-and-click adventures and boils down in particular to solving a number of logical puzzles, during which Kent has to manipulate various types of objects. The absurdity of the game is additionally emphasized by its interface, because during the game we direct the puppet of the main character by clicking on her arms, eyes or lips in order to perform certain actions.

In terms of luminaire Normality Inc. stands at a high level. During the game we are accompanied by a large number of prerendered intermittent scenes. The game itself was created on the engine of the popular Doom, so during the course of the game we explore large, three-dimensional locations, having full freedom of movement, just like in Under a Killing Moon. Contrary to the above mentioned titles, the game is distinguished by extremely colorful graphics and a huge dose of humour.
