Content notice: This game contains mature themes and content. NORMA is set in a dystopian world and includes depictions of drug and alcohol use, prostitution, and partial nudity in stylised, pixel-art environments. Violence is present in the form of combat involving firearms and character death animations, though without graphic gore. The narrative explores dark social and political themes, including oppression, inequality, and ideological conflict. Some characters may express offensive or discriminatory views as part of the story context; these views are not endorsed by the game. The game does not depict explicit sexual acts, sexual violence, or self-harm, but may not be suitable for all audiences due to its themes.

About this game
Welcome to the world of Norma – a society divided between the rich and the poor, where people are physically separated into classes. A world that rewards only those willing to obey its rules and climb the social ladder. A world of individualism, where good intentions and comradeship should not exist… yet still do.
Explore its secrets and uncover the plot crafted by the local government in collaboration with powerful corporations, all in an attempt to fully control the population. Dive into a world driven by a hunger for power and money, where individuals are just replaceable gears in a massive machine. Escape the matrix, fight for freedom, and never surrender.
Zona 4 – Where the forgotten struggle to survive.
Factory Zona – Where dreams are built for some and backs are broken for others.
Zona 3 – Where the hope of a better life drives many to run in a never-ending wheel.
Office Zona – Where big deals are made for the benefit of the few.
Zona 2 – Where the powerful drive policies and make the rules.
Step into the terminal – a fully integrated hacking mini-game within NORMA. Slip on your digital boots to breach systems, retrieve vital data, and uncover secrets that drive your missions forward. Every hack brings you closer to the truth hidden within the world of NORMA.
Dive deep and explore the dystopian world of NORMA. While it’s a story-driven adventure at its core, it also invites you to freely explore a living world shaped by its own history, lore, and rules. You’re not just following the story — you’re stepping into it, becoming part of its unfolding narrative and helping shape what comes next.
Find powerful upgrades that expand your ability to hack systems and uncover even more intel. Enhance your Personal Assistant device with new modules that let you access places normally hidden from sight. Each module opens up fresh locations to explore and additional systems to infiltrate, giving you greater freedom and greater risk — as you dive deeper into the world around you.

This update focuses on improving terminal usability, aligning terminal behaviour more closely with familiar Linux command-line conventions, refining save/load menu behaviour, and updating dialogue to better support quest flow. Terminal ImprovementsCase-Insensitive AutocompleteTerminal autocomplete now works regardless of letter casing.For example, commands such as cd Doc and cd doc can now autocomplete correctly when matching the same folder or file.This should make navigation faster, more forgiving and aligned with actual terminal behaviour during terminal interactions.Refined Backspace BehaviourImproved Backspace/Delete handling in the terminal.Holding the key now continuously deletes characters, making command editing smoother and more responsive.Updated File Execution SyntaxFile execution using ./ no longer requires a space after the command prefix.This now better matches standard Linux terminal behaviour.Example format is now closer to: ./filename instead of: ./ filename rmt Replaced with sshThe previous rmt command has been replaced with ssh.This change better aligns terminal interactions with real Linux command-line conventions.SSH Password Prompt UpdateThe password is no longer entered directly as part of the ssh command.After using ssh, the terminal now asks for the password in a separate prompt.This creates a more natural and familiar SSH-style interaction flow.Main Menu ImprovementsContinue Button UpdatedThe Continue button now works with both autosaves and manual saves.It automatically loads the most recent available save, regardless of whether it is an autosave or a full manual save.Autosave Button ReplacedThe previous Autosave button has been replaced with a Load button.The Load button now loads only the latest full manual save.Improved Escape NavigationPressing Esc now triggers the Back button when one is available.This improves keyboard navigation consistency across menu screens.Dialogue UpdatesQuest Dialogue AdjustmentUpdated the colleagues eavesdro...Read full article on Community Announcements (studio)Patch NotesOfficial
