Today was quite an odd day. I woke up after 6 hours sleep. Which feels quite offputting after sleeping 4.5 hours per day on average for over a year.

Made myself some breakfast, sat down to play this game, and... things got weirder.

The Norwood Suite is a first-person point-and-click adventure game, set in the Hotel Norwood.

It is quite a surreal game. It's unclear why the driver of the car who's dumped you outside the Hotel Norwood has done so, but you've been given a voucher for one free night, at this hotel, and thus your musical adventure begins.

Apparently, the Norwood was built by a once-famous musician, and the interleaving musical cues are great, but slightly unnerving, which is kind of the way I feel about the game.

After 20-odd minutes in-game, I was still just scratching the surface, and I feel like the game may be good, or may turn out to be a disappointment. This may well end up as a RePlay.

For now, The Norwood Suite is:

3: OK

The next weird journey into Off-Peak City is an RPG

The creator of Off-Peak and The Norwood Suite has announced the next game in his surreal series, a nightclub infiltration RPG named Betrayal At Club Low.
