This is not a video game, this is an interactive work of art. I mean that in a very literal sense. If you don't like contemporary art installations, you might hate this game. But, if you have an open mind and are looking for a surreal experience I don't think you can beat it. Strange visuals perfectly melded with interesting music. It's hard to fault. I highly recommend you play (the free game) Off-Peak by Cosmo D if you have any question about whether you'll like this game, I think it will give you a good indication of whether you'll enjoy The Norwood Suite. If you're still unsure after that, play the free Norwood Suite demo. Cosmo D games have their own unmistakable flavor, and once you get going on them you won't be able to stop.

Yet another great surrealist adventure from Cosmo D. I think I have a decent grasp on the story, but I have to end up replaying it at some point because looking back, there were things set up that I just didn’t realize were connected to everything else at the time. Regardless, I enjoyed this one, and it gave me something to think about. The whole Off-Peak series is really just about music and how much it shapes this entire world, which I find fascinating, and I liked how it was explored here too. The story paints Norwood as this genius composer that everyone looks up to, then throughout the game, there are these tableaus that give hints that perhaps Norwood is not quite as he seems. This continues to the end of the game, where we see, after all, Norwood was actually just a facade. I like to interpret Norwood as someone who once was respected and had talent, but whose downfall came after stealing and taking credit for the work of the other talented musicians that he surrounded himself with. Maybe Norwood was self-conscious about his art, and being around other talented artists made him think his work wasn’t good anymore, causing him to become this husk/copy, no longer being able to creatively express himself. Or maybe Norwood was constructed as this idol to begin with, taking other people’s ideas and regurgitating them as his own, a false prophet that could reflect whatever its creators wanted. One small detail I liked was at the end of the game after building the Norwood disguise. You could go around talking to the other characters, and at first they would think you were actually Norwood himself. Seeing the other people's reactions to Norwood and how they idolized and solely talked about him and not the other creatives further shows that Norwood just stole the credit from the people he worked with, causing people to not know the real artists who created some of their favorite pieces of art. I also like how the game portrays the cycle continuing with Bogart, who is essentially Norwood’s modern replacement and another facade of a music idol. The little references to Off-Peak were also nice, and the music was fantasic as always. I'm looking forward to playing Tales from Off-Peak City next and hoping to see maybe some resolution as to what happened in the board meeting.
